Status: Available. n8n connects to the signed-in ApexGenius user. The instance URL, API key, and n8n plan define what the route can reach. It does not use a Salesforce organization or ApexGenius project. Use this connection from Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Grok Bot, Muse or another compatible AI agent. Each agent needs its own ApexGenius setup once; start with Claude, ChatGPT or Codex.

​
What you need

  • The public URL of the n8n instance
  • An n8n public API key
  • An n8n plan that includes the public API
n8n states that its public API is unavailable during the n8n free trial. Self-hosted instances must be reachable from the ApexGenius backend. A localhost-only instance or an instance available only through a private VPN cannot be verified by the hosted gateway.

​
Create the n8n API key

  1. Sign in to n8n.
  2. Open Settings → n8n API.
  3. Choose Create an API key.
  4. Give it a clear label and expiration.
  5. If your n8n plan supports scoped API keys, choose the minimum scopes needed for the tools you intend to use.
  6. Copy the key. n8n shows it for you to store securely.

​
Connect the instance

  1. In ApexGenius, open Connections.
  2. Select n8n.
  3. Choose Connect n8n.
  4. Enter the instance URL, such as https://your-workspace.app.n8n.cloud.
  5. Paste the API key.
  6. Choose Connect. ApexGenius verifies the live instance before saving the connection.
  7. In your AI client, start with a safe read such as “List my n8n workflows.”
The n8n connection belongs to your ApexGenius account. n8n’s own projects, workflows, credentials, and permissions remain inside n8n.

​
Review the available operations

When the n8n connection is active and healthy, its current 20 operations can appear in discovery. They cover workflow inspection, templates, generation, replacement, autofix, test runs, data tables, instance audit, and deletion. Your AI client still loads the same three public ApexGenius tools. Review the exact names and access types on the n8n connector page or in the MCP tool reference. The connected n8n account and ApexGenius authorization checks still determine what each operation can reach.
Before you start
  • A reachable n8n instance and an API key for that instance.
