Automate Wekan Board, List, and Card Management
detail.loadingPreview
This n8n workflow demonstrates how to fully automate Wekan board management. It instantly creates a new Wekan board, sets up 'To Do' and 'Done' lists, adds a new task card, and then automatically moves that card to the 'Done' list, all with a single click.
About This Workflow
Unlock the power of automated project management with this comprehensive Wekan workflow. Designed to showcase n8n's deep integration with Wekan, this template goes beyond simple task creation. It dynamically provisions an entire Wekan board named 'Documentation,' complete with essential 'To Do' and 'Done' lists. Following this setup, it proceeds to create a new task card titled 'Document Wekan node' in the 'To Do' list, and immediately moves it to the 'Done' list. This example provides a robust foundation for automating complex Wekan operations, from project initialization to advanced task lifecycle management, significantly boosting your team's efficiency and consistency.
Key Features
- Automated Wekan Board Creation: Instantly provision new project boards with predefined structures.
- Dynamic List Generation: Create 'To Do' and 'Done' lists (or any custom lists) within your new board programmatically.
- Seamless Card Management: Automate the creation of new task cards with specified titles, authors, and swimlanes.
- Effortless Task Status Updates: Automatically move cards between lists to reflect their progress, like from 'To Do' to 'Done'.
- Leverage Wekan API for Comprehensive Control: Fully utilize Wekan's API capabilities for advanced board and task automation.
How To Use
- Set up Wekan Credentials: Ensure you have an active Wekan instance and have configured your Wekan API credentials within n8n. These are used in all Wekan nodes.
- Configure Board Owner: In the first 'Wekan' node (creating the board), update the
ownerparameter to your specific Wekan user ID. - Customize Board & List Titles: Adjust the
titleparameters in the 'Wekan' node (for the board), 'Wekan1' (for 'To Do'), and 'Wekan2' (for 'Done') nodes to fit your needs. - Define Card Details: In the 'Wekan3' node (creating the card), modify the
titleof the card, and updateauthorIdandswimlaneIdto match your Wekan setup. - Execute the Workflow: Run the workflow. It will create a new board, two lists, a card, and then move that card, demonstrating the full flow.
