This workflow creates an Asana task when a new ticket is created in Zendesk. Subsequent comments on the ticket in Zendesk are added as comments to the task in Asana. Prerequisites Zendesk account and Zendesk credentials. Asana account and Asana credentials. Asana workspace to create tasks in. How it works The workflow listens for new tickets in Zendesk. When a new ticket is created, the workflow creates a new task in Asana. The Asana GID is then saved in one of the ticket's fields (in setup we call this "Asana GID"). The next time a comment is added to the ticket, the workflow retrieves the Asana GID from the ticket's field and adds the comment to the task in Asana. Setup This workflow requires that you set up a webhook in Zendesk. To do so, follow the steps below: In the workflow, open the On new Zendesk ticket node and copy the webhook URL. In Zendesk, navigate to Admin Center > Apps and integrations > Webhooks > Actions > Create Webhook. Add all the required details which can be retrieved from the On new Zendesk ticket node. The webhook URL gets added to the “Endpoint URL” field, and the “Request method” should match what is shown in n8n. Save the webhook. In Zendesk, navigate to Admin Center > Objects and rules > Business rules > Triggers > Add trigger. Give trigger a name such as “New tickets”. Under “Conditions” in “Meet ALL of the following conditions”, add “Status is New”. Under “Actions”, select “Notify active webhook” and select the webhook you created previously. In the JSON body, add the following: { "id": "{{ticket.id}}", "comment": "{{ticket.latest_comment_html}}" } Save the Zendesk trigger. You will also need to set up a field in Zendesk to store the Asana GID. To do so, follow the steps below: In Zendesk, navigate to Admin Center > Objects and rules > Tickets > Fields > Add field. Use the number field option and give the field a name such as “Asana GID”. Save the field. In n8n, open the Update ticket node and select the field you created in Zendesk.

. IOT device control with MQTT and webhook This workflow is for users wanting a practical example of how to control IOT systems using the MQTT protocol in an an n8n environment. The template provides typical n8n MQTT and Webhook node implementation and configuration settings necessary to set IOT device inputs and outputs. How it works A webpage with IOT control 'on and 'off' buttons is presented to the user. When a button is selected on the webpage the value is sent via a webhook to trigger the active workflow. The workflow set node then prepares the received value into a message payload. It then passes the message to the MQTT node for publishing the topic with the payload to a cloud based MQTT broker. A remote ESP32 micro-controller subscribes to the broker and reads the payload contained in the topic. The ESP32 will then toggle the GPIO pin depending on the topic payload value. The IOT control webpage The webpage is a simple HTML page containing the clickable 'on' and 'off' buttons. It also has the get webhook URL that sends the selected value to the n8n workflow in this case running locally. The URL webhook format is http://localhost:5678/webhook/pin-control?value=action The webpage code IOT-control.html IOT device The IOT device is an ESP32 micro-controller running on a remote network. To keep it simple GPIO2 is selected as the control output. In this case when the received value is "on" GPIO2 goes high a led will turn on in the ESP32. It will go off when the received value is "off". The program for the ESP32 IOT control is 'main.py' . You will require a micropython interpreter to be uploaded to the ESP32 for the program to run automatically. The code can be easily edited and modified to accommodate any further attached IOT devices. The ESP32 main.py code main.py How to customise this workflow to your needs ESP32 You will need a working ESP32 installed with a micro-python interpreter. The code main.py is provided. The main.py program can loaded and edited with a python IDE. I used Thonny for this example. Use a free MQTT broker to get started. I used "broker.emqx.io" in the code. IOT Control Webpage The webpage contains HTML and can be easily edit to enhance functionality. The embedded webhook is configured for n8n production mode. http://localhost:5678/webhook/pin-control?value=action If you want to run the page in test mode you will use the following URL. http://localhost:5678/webhook-test/pin-control?value=action n8n workflow. The workflow is a good demonstration of how to control IOT devices using n8n. Following these steps will give a good insight for microcontroller automation.
