Automate Your Wekan Workflow with n8n
detail.loadingPreview
Streamline your project management by automating tasks within Wekan using n8n. This workflow template allows you to automatically create boards, lists, and cards, and even move cards between lists.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow provides a robust solution for automating your Wekan project management. Upon execution, it initiates the creation of a new Wekan board named 'Documentation'. Subsequently, it sets up essential lists within this board: 'To Do' and 'Done'. The workflow then proceeds to create a new card titled 'Document Wekan node' within the 'To Do' list. Finally, it automatically moves this newly created card to the 'Done' list, effectively demonstrating a basic yet powerful automation of a common project management task. This template is a fantastic starting point for anyone looking to save time and reduce manual effort in Wekan.
Key Features
- Automated Board Creation: Dynamically create new Wekan boards as needed.
- Intelligent List Setup: Automatically generate 'To Do' and 'Done' lists for organized task tracking.
- Card Lifecycle Management: Create cards with specific details and assign them to initial lists.
- Task Status Automation: Effortlessly move tasks between lists, simulating completion or progress.
- Customizable Workflows: Easily adapt and extend this template for more complex Wekan automation needs.
How To Use
- Trigger: The workflow starts with a manual trigger, activated by clicking 'Execute'.
- Create Board: The first Wekan node creates a new board named 'Documentation'. Ensure your Wekan credentials ('wekan-trial') are correctly configured.
- Create 'To Do' List: The second Wekan node creates a 'To Do' list within the board created in the previous step. It dynamically pulls the
boardIdfrom the output of the 'Wekan' node. - Create 'Done' List: Similarly, the third Wekan node creates a 'Done' list, also referencing the
boardId. - Create Card: The fourth Wekan node creates a card titled 'Document Wekan node' and places it in the 'To Do' list. It uses the
listIdfrom the 'Wekan1' node and theboardIdfrom the 'Wekan' node. Note thatauthorIdandswimlaneIdare pre-filled and may need adjustment based on your Wekan setup. - Move Card to 'Done': The final Wekan node updates the card created in the previous step. It changes the
listIdof the card to point to the 'Done' list (obtained from the 'Wekan2' node), effectively moving the card.
