Orchestrating Drupal with n8n: Automating Content Workflows with JSON:API

Presented by Stephen Mulvihill Modern Drupal sites don’t operate in isolation, they’re part of a broader ecosystem of services, APIs, and automation workflows. In this session, we’ll explore how to use n8n with the new Drupal community node to orchestrate powerful, low-code automation across your Drupal platform. We’ll walk through how Drupal can act as both a data source and a workflow engine using: JSON:API for full CRUD operations on Drupal entities Basic authentication and secure API access patterns Event-driven and scheduled workflows using n8n Cross-system orchestration (Drupal ↔ external services)
