n8n

Push data to EasyBoard from any n8n workflow using the built-in HTTP Request node. Works identically on self-hosted n8n and n8n Cloud — no plugin, no credential type to register, just a standard HTTP call.

Before you start

You'll need two values from your EasyBoard dashboard:

Configure the HTTP Request node

Add an HTTP Request node to your workflow and fill in these fields:

Set the JSON Body to:

{
  "updates": [
    {
      "target": { "alternateId": "revenue" },
      "patch": { "value": "{{ $json.amount }}" }
    }
  ]
}

Replace revenue with your tile's alternateId. {{ $json.amount }} is n8n's expression syntax — click the field and use the expression editor to map any upstream node's output.

Update multiple tiles at once

One HTTP Request node can update several tiles in a single API call — counts as one request against your rate limit:

{
  "updates": [
    {
      "target": { "alternateId": "order-count" },
      "patch": { "value": "{{ $json.order_number }}" }
    },
    {
      "target": { "alternateId": "customer" },
      "patch": { "value": "{{ $json.billing_name }}" }
    },
    {
      "target": { "alternateId": "status" },
      "patch": { "value": "Processing" }
    }
  ]
}

Incrementing a counter

Use delta instead of value to safely increment a counter tile — even if two workflow runs fire simultaneously, the server-side delta math prevents double-counting:

{
  "updates": [
    {
      "target": { "alternateId": "signups" },
      "patch": { "delta": 1 }
    }
  ]
}
