Flex Platform Trigger
AI-generatedOverview
This node acts as a trigger for workflows in n8n, starting the workflow when specific events occur in the Flex Platform. It listens for webhook events from the Flex Platform and filters these events based on the selected module and event type. This is useful for automating processes that depend on real-time updates or actions within the Flex Platform, such as responding to changes in data or user actions.
Use Case Examples
- Trigger a workflow when a new user is created in a specific module of the Flex Platform.
- Start a workflow when a particular event, like a status update, occurs in the Flex Platform.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Module | Filters the events based on the selected module in the Flex Platform. Allows the user to narrow down the events to those related to a specific module. |

Dependencies
- Requires credentials for the Flex Platform API, including a base URL, client key, and client secret for authentication.
Troubleshooting
- Common issues include authentication failures due to incorrect API credentials or expired tokens. The error message 'Trigger kon niet inloggen' indicates login failure and suggests checking the client key and secret.
- Webhook registration errors may occur if the webhook URL is not accessible or the Flex Platform API rejects the registration request. Ensure the webhook URL is publicly accessible and correct.
- If no events are received, verify that the correct module and event are selected and that the Flex Platform is sending events to the registered webhook URL.
