  • Subscriptions & Peeps: Subscribe to vybits and manage access invitations
  • Reminders: Create and manage scheduled reminders on vybits
  • Sounds & Logs: Search sounds and view notification history
  • Zero Dependencies: Built with zero runtime dependencies

Installation

Self-Hosted n8n

npm install @vybit/n8n-nodes-vybit

Then restart your n8n instance.

n8n Cloud

Search for "Vybit" in the n8n nodes panel to install. On n8n Cloud, the OAuth2 credential is pre-configured through n8n's Managed OAuth: click Connect my account, sign in to Vybit, and you're done. No OAuth app registration is needed.

For Multi-User Deployments

See DEPLOYMENT.md for configuring credential sharing in self-hosted multi-user n8n instances to centrally manage OAuth2 Client Secrets.


Which Authentication Method Should I Use?

Both methods provide full access to all operations. Choose based on your use case:

Use API Key if:

  • You're automating your own Vybit account
  • Building personal workflows (e.g., "alert me when server is down")
  • Integrating Vybit into your backend service

Example: DevOps engineer using n8n to trigger their personal Vybit when monitoring detects issues

Use OAuth2 if:

  • You're building a service where users connect their own accounts
  • Each user needs to authorize their own Vybit account
  • Multi-tenant scenarios (agency managing client notifications)

Example: Agency building n8n workflows that send notifications to client Vybit accounts


Quick Start

API Key Setup

  1. Go to developer.vybit.net
  2. Generate an API key
  3. In n8n:
    • Add Vybit node
    • Authentication: "API Key"
    • Create new credential and paste your API key

OAuth2 Setup

n8n Cloud:

  1. Add a Vybit node, Authentication: "OAuth2"
  2. Create a new Vybit OAuth2 credential and click Connect my account
  3. Sign in to Vybit and approve access

Self-hosted n8n:

  1. Go to developer.vybit.net and open the OAuth configuration
  2. Set a service name and add your n8n callback as a redirect URI: https://your-n8n-host/rest/oauth2-credential/callback
  3. In n8n:
    • Add Vybit node
    • Authentication: "OAuth2"
    • Create OAuth2 credential with your client ID/secret
  4. Users authorize their Vybit accounts to connect

See Credentials for details on both credential types.


Credentials

The node ships two credential types. Both give access to every operation.

Vybit OAuth2 API

Standard OAuth2 authorization code flow against your Vybit account.

Setting Value
Authorization URL https://app.vybit.net
Access Token URL https://app.vybit.net/service/token
Scopes none (full access to the authorizing account)
Client authentication client ID and secret in the request body
Token lifetime long-lived, no refresh token

On n8n Cloud the client ID and secret are managed by n8n, so the credential form only shows a Connect my account button. Anyone who prefers their own OAuth app can still enter a client ID and secret.

On self-hosted n8n you register your own OAuth app at developer.vybit.net. Up to three redirect URIs can be registered per app, so a production callback, a staging callback, and http://localhost for local development can share one client. The n8n callback path is always /rest/oauth2-credential/callback on your n8n host.

Vybit API

A Developer API key from developer.vybit.net, sent as the X-API-Key header. Use it for automating your own account or for backend services. The base URL defaults to https://api.vybit.net/v1.

All 34 operations are available with both API Key and OAuth2 authentication.

Development

This package uses n8n's built-in httpRequestWithAuthentication helper for all API calls (no bundled SDK). API endpoint paths are maintained in Vybit.node.ts and must be kept in sync with @vybit/api-sdk when the API changes.

Building

npm run build

Testing Locally

Using Docker (recommended):

# See docker-compose.yml in the project root's my-n8n directory
# The dist is volume-mounted into the container via N8N_CUSTOM_EXTENSIONS
docker compose up -d

Using npm link:

npm link
cd /path/to/n8n
npm link @vybit/n8n-nodes-vybit
n8n start

Integration Tests

# Requires a running n8n instance with a configured Vybit API Key credential
export N8N_API_KEY="your-n8n-api-key"
export VYBIT_API_CREDENTIAL_ID="your-credential-id"
node test/integration/test-runner.js
