N8n workflow to add link

User Talk Automations

Hey,
Do you know a workflow in n8n that can replicate the Seatable Automation Rules to create a Link between 2 tables based on matching values in each table ?

This is basically to perform the automation rule in the background.

Hi @PeFlam,
I currently use such a workflow, the process is pretty straight-forward:

  1. Use a newRow trigger
  2. Perform a row: search in your linked table and look for the search term you obtained from your trigger
  3. Perform a link: add with the following data:
    • Row ID From the Source Table : the row id of your trigger
    • Row ID From the Target : the row id of your row: search result

Please not that this actually works only il the search term is unique (meaning that your row: search action will never returns more than one item)

I wanted to embed an example in this answer, but unfortunately the n8n embedding feature doesn’t seem to have n8n-nodes-seatable installed so you can’t access the nodes parameters, which is then pretty useless…

Bests,
Benjamin
