Real-Time Server-Sent Event Listener
detail.loadingPreview
This workflow utilizes an SSE (Server-Sent Events) trigger to listen for real-time updates from a specified URL. It's designed to initiate n8n workflows instantly upon receiving new events, enabling immediate processing of streamed data for dynamic automation based on live information feeds.
About This Workflow
The SSE Trigger workflow provides a powerful way to integrate n8n with real-time data streams. Server-Sent Events offer a persistent connection to a server, allowing it to push updates to the client whenever new information is available, without continuous polling. This template sets up n8n to act as a listener, automatically starting a new workflow execution every time an event is received from the configured SSE endpoint. It's ideal for scenarios requiring immediate reactions to live data, such as news feeds, stock tickers, status updates, or sensor readings, ensuring your automations are always working with the freshest information and driving event-driven processes effectively.
Key Features
- Listens for real-time Server-Sent Events (SSE).
- Instantly triggers n8n workflows upon receiving new data.
- Establishes persistent, low-latency connections to SSE endpoints.
- Supports any standard SSE stream URL for flexible integration.
- Enables robust event-driven automation for immediate data processing.
How To Use
- The
SSE Triggernode is initially configured with a placeholder URL (https://n8n.io). - Replace
https://n8n.ioin the 'URL' field of theSSE Triggernode with the actual Server-Sent Events endpoint you wish to monitor. - Ensure the specified URL correctly implements the Server-Sent Events protocol to guarantee proper event reception.
- Add subsequent n8n nodes to process the data received from the SSE stream (e.g.,
Set,Code,HTTP Request,Send Email,Write to Database). - Activate the workflow to start listening for real-time events and initiate your automated processes.
