Hello to everyone.

Do you know anyone who has tried to use N8N to integrate with the Alfresco Community API?

Hi Irineu,

Yes, I’ve worked with Alfresco Community API via n8n using the generic HTTP Request node. It doesn’t have a native integration, but it works fine as long as the API is accessible and properly authenticated.

Here’s a quick overview of what I did:

  • Used Basic Auth to authenticate (Alfresco supports it for the community edition).
  • Made calls to endpoints like /alfresco/api/-default-/public/alfresco/versions/1/nodes to list or manage content.
  • Parsed the JSON response with a Set node or Function node depending on what I needed.

If you have a specific use case (uploading files, retrieving documents, etc.), I can share a working example or help you build the workflow.

Let me know what part of the Alfresco API you’re trying to work with.
