Overview

The Cubable Trigger node starts an n8n workflow when specific events occur in Cubable records. It listens for events such as record creation, updates, and deletions from specified sources like User, API, Automation, or Form. This node is useful for automating workflows based on changes in Cubable data, such as syncing records, sending notifications, or triggering downstream processes when records are modified.

Use Case Examples

  1. Trigger a workflow when a new record is created by a user in a specific Cubable table.
  2. Start a workflow when records are updated via API calls, including previous field values for comparison.
  3. Listen for record deletions triggered by automation and process cleanup tasks accordingly.

Output

JSON

Troubleshooting

  • Webhook creation or deletion failures may occur due to invalid Base or Table IDs or network issues. Verify IDs and network connectivity.
  • If no events trigger the workflow, ensure the webhook URL is correctly registered in Cubable and the event filters (source types, event types) match the expected events.
  • Errors fetching event payloads may indicate expired or invalid webhook credentials; re-creating the webhook may resolve this.
