n8n setup guide

The verified Aloware node connects your Aloware account to n8n in about 10 minutes. It works on n8n Cloud and self-hosted n8n, with no npm install. It has two parts: Aloware, the action node that calls the Aloware API, and Aloware Trigger, which starts a workflow when Aloware sends an event.

Before you start

• An Aloware account with access to Integrations (to create an API token and a webhook)
• An n8n account with the owner or admin role. Only they can install the node; after that every member can use it.

Step 1: Install the Aloware node

1. In n8n, open any workflow and click + (or press N) to open the nodes panel.
2. Search for Aloware. It appears under More from the community with the verified badge.
3. Select it and click Install.

You only do this once per n8n instance. If Aloware doesn't appear, email support@aloware.com.

Step 2: Create an Aloware API token

1. In Aloware, go to Integrations → API Tokens.
2. Create a token and copy it.

Treat the token like a password. Anyone with it can send messages and place calls from your account.

Step 3: Add the credential in n8n

1. In n8n, go to Credentials → Add credential and choose Aloware API.
2. Paste the token into API Token and click Save.

n8n tests the credential by loading your Aloware users. A green "Connection tested successfully" means you're connected.

Step 4: Run your first action

1. Add an Aloware node to a workflow and select the credential.
2. Choose User → Get Many and click Execute step.

You should see one item per user in your account. Keep this output handy: it lists the user IDs other actions ask for (the same list the Users API returns).

Step 5: Connect the Aloware Trigger

Aloware can't register webhooks through its API, so you paste the trigger's URL into Aloware once.

1. Add an Aloware Trigger node and copy its Test URL.
2. In Aloware, go to Integrations → Webhook Integration → + Add Webhook.
3. Paste the URL, set Authentication to None, tick the events you want and save.
4. In n8n, click Listen for test event, then cause an event in Aloware (for example, send a text from one of your lines).
5. When the test works, edit the webhook in Aloware and replace the Test URL with the trigger's Production URL. Then activate the workflow.

The Test URL only receives events while n8n is listening. The Production URL receives them whenever the workflow is active. The events and what each one sends are in Webhooks.

What the node can do

Aloware Trigger starts a workflow when a call or text is disposed, a contact is created or updated, or a recording, voicemail, transcription or AloAi call summary is saved. You can limit it to calls, texts, call summaries or other events. The same actions are also available as Aloware Tool, which an n8n AI Agent can use.

To empty a Power Dialer list, use the list ID from Aloware Classic (the number in the list's URL). The list numbers shown in Aloware Talk are different, and the API rejects them.
