Install

Via n8n community node manager (recommended)

1. In n8n, open Settings → Community Nodes.
2. Click Install a Community Node.
3. Enter n8n-nodes-itglue-extended and click Install.
4. Restart n8n when prompted.

Via npm (self-hosted)

npm i n8n-nodes-itglue-extended

Then restart n8n.

Credentials & Region setup

This node uses the IT Glue API credential type (itglueApi).

How to get your API key:

1. Log in to IT Glue.
2. Go to Account → Settings → API Keys.
3. Create a new key (or copy an existing one).
4. Paste the key into the n8n credential.

The node automatically uses the correct base URL for your region:

Resources & Operations

See the full Resource Matrix for a complete table.

Enabled resources — 35 resources

The following resources are fully operational in v2.0.0:

Each resource supports full CRUD operations where the IT Glue API allows them (getAll, get, create, update, delete, bulkUpdate, bulkDelete). The Password resource also supports archive, restore, getVersions, and getVersion.

Verification-pending resources — 1 resource

The following resource is implemented but not yet enabled in the node UI:

• Checklist Task — live probe returned HTTP 401 on GET /checklist_tasks; likely only valid as a nested sub-route under a checklist. Will be enabled when nested-route support is added.

See docs/resources/README-matrix.md for details.

Password security

This section is important if you use this node in AI/agent workflows or expose it to automation.

Password plaintext is fail-closed by default:

• Plaintext is NEVER returned when the node runs as an AI/agent tool. This is enforced at the code level — the revealPlaintext field is ignored entirely during tool execution, and responses are redacted.
• Revealing plaintext requires a non-tool workflow execution (a normal manual, trigger, webhook, or other author-controlled run — never an AI-agent/tool invocation), AND the workflow author has explicitly enabled the Reveal Plaintext toggle (which an AI agent cannot set).
• An AI agent cannot set the "Reveal Plaintext" toggle — it is a design-time author control, not a runtime parameter.
• All password responses are redacted by default (password: "[REDACTED]").
• IT Glue's Password Access audit trail will log every API reveal. Monitor your IT Glue audit log for unexpected access events.

What agents CAN do with passwords:

• Create new password entries
• Update existing password entries (e.g. rotate a password value)
• Delete / archive password entries
• List passwords (metadata only — no plaintext)

What agents CANNOT do:

• Retrieve plaintext password values
• Override the reveal gate

This behaviour is intentional and cannot be bypassed at runtime.

Using with AI Agents

This node is registered as usableAsTool: true, meaning it works seamlessly as a tool in n8n's AI agent nodes (e.g. the AI Agent node with OpenAI/Anthropic).

The agent automatically receives a description of every available resource and operation. Example agent prompts:

• "Find the configuration named 'PROD-SWITCH-01' in org Acme Corp"
• "Create a password entry called 'New Firewall Admin' in org Acme Corp with username admin"
• "List all locations for organization ID 12345"
• "Update the contact John Smith's email to john@example.com"
• "Get all flexible assets of type 'Server' for Acme Corp"

Note: An agent CANNOT retrieve a plaintext password — this is by design. See Password security above.
