Questions

Hi guys, I’m new here.

I need to connect N8N with Qlik SaaS to extract reports in xlsx to be sent by e-mail, for this reason, how should I proceed to establish this connection ?

Thanks in advance.

You can start with the following setup, I dont have an account, but the HTTP node can be used for auth.

Hi there,

There should be an API for that. But I think it does count to your reporting limits. Depending on what you exactly want to do.

Ps.
I used to be a Qlik consultant before I started working with n8n 3+ years ago. I have made multiple things with the Qlik APIs including connecting with the Qlik engine. I can offer you my services, feel free to dm me.

Hi! @BramKn I’m new to this, but I’m a BI consultant and I’m very interested in connecting Qlik Sense/Qlik Cloud to n8n in order to create a bot (Telegram, WhatsApp) that can interact with Qlik QVDs and answer users’ basic questions.
Have an idea about how to do it? Thanks!

Hi @lacosta

QVDs are basically XML files. So you should be able to just read those in n8n.
But to answer actual questions from Qlik dashboard data you need to connect with the Qlik Engine which isn’t really as easy as you might think.
Also I do not think AI stuff would be able to do this straight from Qlik, so you would need to extract the data and put it into a (vector)database or whatever to have the bot use that.
