n8n

Connect n8n to build custom attribution workflows. n8n is an open-source alternative to Zapier/Make — self-hosted or cloud — that can pipe any form, CRM, or data source into Finseo via an HTTP Request node, with full control over data transformation.

What you need

  • A Finseo API key with write scope: create it under Settings → API → Create Key.
  • Your project ID (visible in the connect dialog under Integrations → n8n, or via GET /v1/projects).

Set up the workflow

  1. In n8n, create a new workflow with your preferred trigger (form submission, CRM event, webhook, schedule, …).
  2. Add an HTTP Request node:
    • Method: POST
    • URL: https://app.finseo.ai/api/v1/projects/YOUR_PROJECT_ID/attribution
    • Authentication: Generic → Header Auth with Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
    • Body Content Type: JSON
  3. Map the fields:
channelId is required — pass a fixed channel or forward the raw answer as freetextResponse and let Finseo categorize it. Optional fields: channelLabel, subChannel, respondentName, pageUrl, formId, metadata.
  1. Execute the node once to test, then activate the workflow.
Alternatively, you can POST to your project’s webhook URL (from the connect dialog) instead of the v1 API — useful if you’d rather not manage API keys in n8n.

Troubleshooting

Check the Header Auth configuration: the header name must be Authorization and the value Bearer YOUR_API_KEY with write scope.
If you send freetextResponse without a matching channelId, Finseo categorizes the text automatically — check the raw answer text if categorization looks off.
