Summary

Triggers a workflow when a Kanban Lite event occurs, such as task, card, column, or comment changes. Connects via Remote API webhooks or directly through the Local SDK event bus.

Inputs

  • transport — Selects the transport mechanism. Remote API receives committed after-events via HTTP webhooks from a running Kanban Lite server. Local SDK subscribes directly to the in-process event bus for before- and after-events when n8n runs on the same machine.
  • event — The specific Kanban Lite event that triggers execution. Standard after-events (e.g., task.created, task.moved) work in both modes, while before-events (e.g., card.create, card.update) require Local SDK transport.

Output shape

a single item object containing event metadata (event name, label, resource, transport type, phase, timestamp), payload object, and raw envelope data if available

Remote API mode automatically manages webhook registration and teardown on workflow activation and deactivation. Inbound webhooks matching other event types are filtered out.

Examples

Example 1: Execute a workflow when a task is created on a Kanban board via Remote API

Transport = Remote API, Event = Task created

Example 2: Intercept and evaluate a card update event before changes are committed using Local SDK

Transport = Local SDK, Event = Before Card update (SDK only)
