Integrate GraphQL with

500+ apps and services

To use GraphQL integration in n8n, start by adding the GraphQL node to your workflow. You'll need to authenticate your GraphQL account using supported authentication methods. Once connected, you can choose from the list of supported actions or make custom API calls via the HTTP Request node, for example: you can create queries or mutations tailored to your needs. Ensure you define your endpoint correctly and structure your queries according to the GraphQL schema. Finally, test your setup to confirm that requests are functioning as expected.

Yes, you will typically need an API key, token, or similar credentials to add GraphQL integration to n8n. These can usually be found in your account settings for the service. Ensure that your credentials have the necessary permissions to access and manage the data or actions you want to automate within your workflows.

Definitely! n8n enables you to create workflows that combine GraphQL with other apps and services. For instance, you can use GraphQL to fetch data from an API and then process that data alongside other applications within your workflow. This flexibility allows you to build complex automations that leverage multiple data sources seamlessly. Just connect the GraphQL node with the other app nodes in your n8n workflow to get started!

Common use cases for GraphQL automation include integrating with APIs to fetch or manipulate data, building real-time applications that require dynamic data updates, and orchestrating complex workflows that involve multiple data sources. Additionally, GraphQL can streamline data retrieval by allowing clients to request only the specific data they need, reducing over-fetching and under-fetching issues. This makes it particularly useful in scenarios where data efficiency and flexibility are critical. With n8n, you can customize these workflows to fit your specific needs and extend them by adding other 400+ integrations or incorporating advanced AI logic.

n8n’s pricing model is designed to be both affordable and scalable, which is particularly beneficial when integrating with GraphQL. Unlike other platforms that charge per operation or task, n8n charges only for full workflow executions. This means you can create complex workflows with GraphQL, involving thousands of tasks or steps, without worrying about escalating costs. For example, if your GraphQL workflows perform around 100k tasks, you could be paying $500+/month on other platforms, but with n8n's pro plan, you start at around $50. This approach allows you to scale your GraphQL integrations efficiently while maintaining predictable costs.
