Describe the problem/error/question

so basically i have made a slack bot, i want it to access all my coworkers’ emails and send mails on their behalf, but I am having trouble creating their credentials to which i have found some solutions but i read that their is no way to switch between credentials dynamically.
I’d really appreciate it if someone could help.

What is the error message (if any)?

Please share your workflow

(Select the nodes on your canvas and use the keyboard shortcuts CMD+C/CTRL+C and CMD+V/CTRL+V to copy and paste the workflow.)

Share the output returned by the last node

Information on your n8n setup

  • n8n version: 1.114.3
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • Running n8n via (Docker):
  • Operating system: linux

I explained the possible solution here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/n8n/comments/1nxe2a7/i_solved_the_multicredential_problem_without/

In short, you need to

  • first export and store N8 credential ids
  • Prepare a mini workflow with dynamic expression of slack credential
  • Run a subworkflow as JSON and pass other parameters (I e. message texts etc)

Yes, this is an extremely hacky way :slight_smile:
