Hi
I’m sharing a new node for n8n called n8n-nodes-hashi-vault, which allows you to interact directly with HashiCorp Vault from your workflows — no need for the External Secrets Enterprise feature.
This node was created for teams who already use Vault in their infrastructure and want a simple way to integrate secrets into their n8n automations.
Key Features
-
Support for KV v1 and KV v2 engines
-
Authentication via token or AppRole
-
Support for namespaces (Vault Enterprise)
-
Available operations:
-
read(read secret) -
write(create or update secret) -
delete(remove secret) -
list(list keys in a path)
-
-
Compatible with environments using custom SSL
-
Ready to use directly inside n8n workflows — no external config needed
Use Cases
-
Automate the lifecycle of secrets as part of DevOps workflows — for example, when provisioning environments or services.
-
Make secrets available inside the workflow for use in specific steps (like DB credentials or API tokens).
- This avoids hardcoding sensitive values but comes with the tradeoff that secrets are visible as part of the JSON during workflow execution.
-
Great for IT, DevOps, and infrastructure teams already working with Vault who want easy, script-free integration with n8n.

I built this node because the existing package in the ecosystem pointed to a private repository, with no public code or activity from the author — which made it difficult to audit, understand, or contribute. This version aims to be open, clear, and easy to use.
