Blog post from PubNub
PubNub's integration with N8N introduces a new level of connectivity and real-time communication to the N8N ecosystem, allowing access to over a billion connected devices. Despite initial challenges with N8N's security constraints, which restricted the use of external dependencies and certain JavaScript functions, PubNub successfully implemented custom methods for network communication. This integration enables PubNub customers to leverage N8N workflows for a variety of applications, including multiplayer games, collaborative tools, and IoT devices, facilitating seamless real-time event handling. Features such as human-in-the-loop notifications, real-time fleet geofencing, and interactive chatbots are now supported, enhancing workflow automation and user interaction. The integration is designed to work with both public and private N8N deployments, allowing users to manage channel groups, track online users, and fetch message history for comprehensive workflow management.
