Node Reference

Stackby (Action Node)

Perform operations on Stackby data from any workflow.

Resource: Record

Search parameters:

Resource: Table

Resource: Stack

Resource: Column

Stackby Trigger (Webhook)

Fires your workflow instantly when data changes in Stackby. Uses webhooks — requires your n8n instance to be reachable from the internet.

Note: When you activate a workflow containing this trigger, n8n automatically registers a webhook subscription with Stackby. When you deactivate it, the subscription is removed.

Stackby Polling Trigger

Polls Stackby on a schedule and emits rows that are new or updated since the last run. Use this when:

• Your n8n is running locally (no public URL for webhooks)
• You want a scheduled sync rather than real-time events

Set the polling interval in the Schedule section of the trigger node (e.g. every 1 minute, every hour).

Finding Your Stack ID and Table ID

Open any table in Stackby. The URL looks like:

https://stackby.com/stack/STACK_ID/TABLE_ID

Example:

https://stackby.com/stack/stAbc123/tbXyz456
                          ^^^^^^^^  ^^^^^^^^^
                          Stack ID  Table ID

Both IDs start with a short prefix (st for stacks, tb for tables).

Example Workflows

1. Trigger a Slack message when a new row is added

[Stackby Trigger]
  Stack ID: stAbc123
  Events: Row Created
      |
      ↓
[Slack: Send Message]
  Message: New record added: {{ $json.Name }}

2. Create a Stackby record from a form submission

[n8n Form Trigger]
      |
      ↓
[Stackby: Create Record]
  Stack ID: stAbc123
  Table ID: tbXyz456
  Fields:
    Name  → {{ $json.name }}
    Email → {{ $json.email }}
    Status → "New"

3. Sync new Stackby rows to Google Sheets (polling)

[Stackby Polling Trigger]  ← runs every 5 minutes
  Stack ID: stAbc123
  Table ID: tbXyz456
  Trigger Field: Created At
      |
      ↓
[Google Sheets: Append Row]

4. Upsert a record (update or create)

[HTTP Request: incoming webhook]
      |
      ↓
[Stackby: Create or Update]
  Stack ID: stAbc123
  Table ID: tbXyz456
  Match Column: Email
  Fields:
    Email  → {{ $json.email }}
    Status → {{ $json.status }}

If a row with the same email already exists it will be updated; otherwise a new row is created.
