The Automation Blueprints window displays the list of all GraphQL and webhook endpoints configured in Pimcore Datahub and available according to the user's permissions and the following restrictions:

  • For GraphQL endpoints, the configuration must have a query or a mutation schema defined.
  • For webhook endpoints, the configuration must listen to the pimcore.dataobject.postAdd and pimcore.dataobject.postUpdate events have a Schema defined for Data Object.

Datahub Configs available for WAIDatahub Configs available for WAIDatahub Configs available for WAI

For each item in the list, you can download automation blueprints in a JSON file - that you can further import and execute in n8n - from the right dropdown menu. The options available in this menu depend on your endpoint's type and Schema Definition.

GraphQL Blueprints​

For a GraphQL endpoint you can download blueprints to:

  • n8n Export *Object*: Export the attributes of Data Objects corresponding to an Entity defined in your Query Schema Gear IconGear IconGear Icon in a spreadsheet. A workspace with Read permission must be defined for Data Objects in Security Definition.

Only the following attributes are supported for exports - all other attributes considered in the Query Schema will not appear in the final spreadsheet:

Webhook Blueprints​

For a Data Objects-focused webhook endpoint, you can download a Process Item blueprint to listen to your webhook, update your Objects' first text attribute and write the corresponding data in a spreadsheet.

Your webhook Datahub configuration needs:

  • to have an Entity defined in Schema Definition Data Objects;
  • to listen to pimcore.dataobject.postUpdate and pimcore.dataobject.postAdd.

When downloading your automation blueprint, you need to add a valid webhook URL of your n8n instance in the related field. This URL consists of:

  • the http:// or https:// protocol;
  • the host name of your n8n instance;
  • the /webhook/ or /webhook-test/ path - webhook-test being used by default for testing purposes.

For example, a webhook URL could be: https://pimcore.com/non-example/webhook-test.
