Skool API (Skapi.pro) — n8n Node
Automate your Skool community with n8n. Manage join requests, monitor messages and notifications — all in your workflow.
Website: skapi.pro · Chrome Extension: Skapi.pro · Community: skool.com/ai-pays-my-bills-7018
What this node does
The Skool API node connects n8n to SkAPI.pro — an API service that lets you automate management of your Skool.com communities. With this node you can:
- See who's waiting to join your group
- Approve or decline join requests automatically
- Read new messages in your groups
- Pull your Skool notifications into any workflow
Perfect for community managers who want to automate repetitive moderation work.
Installation
Via n8n UI (recommended)
- Open n8n → Settings → Community Nodes
- Click Install and enter:
n8n-nodes-skool - Click Install, then restart n8n
Via npm (self-hosted)
cd ~/.n8n/nodes
npm install n8n-nodes-skool
Restart n8n after installing.
Get your JWT token
The node authenticates with a JWT token from SkAPI.pro. To get one:
- Sign up at skapi.pro
- Install the Skapi.pro Chrome Extension from Chrome Web Store
- Open the extension popup and copy your JWT token
Then in n8n: add a Skool API node → Create New Credential → Skapi.pro API → paste the token → Save.

Troubleshooting
Node doesn't appear after install — restart n8n. Community nodes only register on startup.
"The specified package could not be loaded" — a known n8n loader bug. Remove the package, clear ~/.n8n/nodes/node_modules/n8n-nodes-skool and ~/.n8n/nodes/package.json, restart n8n and reinstall.
Authentication error — your JWT token may have expired. Generate a fresh one in the Skapi.pro extension.
Rate limit (429) — you've hit your plan's quota. Wait for the window to reset or upgrade your plan.
