Credentials

To use this node, you need to authenticate with your Kaizen account. The node uses OAuth2 for a secure and straightforward connection process.

1. Create an account with the Kaizen app.
2. In n8n, add a new credential for Kaizen.
3. A pop-up window will open, prompting you to log in to your Kaizen account.
4. After logging in, click "Allow" to grant n8n access.

Your credentials will be securely stored in n8n for use in your workflows.

Usage Example

A common use case is to create a new task in a specific folder. Since the node requires a Folder ID (not a name), you can use a simple two-step workflow:

1. Step 1: Get Folders

   • Add a Kaizen node.
   • Set Resource to Folder and Operation to Get All.
   • This will return a list of all your folders with their names and IDs.

2. Step 2: Create the Task

   • Add a second Kaizen node.
   • In the Folder ID field, use an n8n expression to find the ID of the folder you want from the previous step. For example, to find a folder named "Project Alpha":

     {{ $('Kaizen').item.json.find(item => item.name === 'Project Alpha').id }}
     

   • Fill in the other task details like Title, and run the workflow. Your task will be created in the correct folder.
