Hi - i am playing around with Appflowy and i want to add automations by n8n. I installed the Appflowy community node and wanted to use a trigger if a new row is added to a database. I can create the node and the database and workspace are found by the node - so the integration works - but if i add a row nothing happens - the workflow is not triggered and if i execute it manually there is no data fetched.
Can someone help me with the affplowy node?
Hi @aysal !
With the information provided, I’m not able to help just yet. Is your workflow set to Active?
Do you know whether the AppFlowy community trigger uses polling or webhooks?
This is almost certainly the token expiration bug in the AppFlowy community node, there’s an open issue about it on GitHub: 401 - "fail to decode token, error:ExpiredSignature" · Issue #1 · octionic/n8n-nodes-appflowy · GitHub — basically the access token expires and the refresh logic doesn’t kick in properly during active/polling executions, so the trigger just silently fails even though everything looks fine when you test manually. One workaround people have had luck with is deleting the workflow and reimporting it to force a fresh token, but honestly until the maintainer patches the axios error handling it’s going to keep happening. You could also skip the community node trigger entirely and just use a Schedule Trigger + HTTP Request node to poll the AppFlowy API yourself, that way you control the auth flow.
