n8n

For integrations without custom development, n8n is a strong central automation platform. It allows Memida processes to be modeled visually and connected to hundreds of other services.

What is n8n?​

n8n is a workflow automation platform. Workflows are modeled using nodes that read, transform, and forward data from APIs, databases, email systems, chats, or third-party systems.

In combination with Memida, n8n is particularly suitable for:

  • Process automation without your own backend
  • Connecting Memida with ERP, DMS, ticketing, and collaboration tools
  • Scheduled reports and data synchronization
  • Event-based reactions together with webhooks

Memida Community Node​

An official Memida Community Node is available for n8n and significantly simplifies integration. The node provides preconfigured actions for common Memida operations.

Installation in your n8n instance:

  1. Open the settings (Settings) of your n8n instance.
  2. Go to Community Nodes.
  3. Install the package n8n-nodes-memida.

Node on npm: n8n-nodes-memida

Example use cases for n8n​

The combination of Memida and n8n opens many possibilities:

Synchronization with ERP systems
Keep master data such as cost centers, departments, or locations automatically synchronized between your ERP system and Memida. If a new cost center is created in SAP or Dynamics, it can be transferred to Memida automatically.

Notifications and alerts
Set up automatic notifications for important events. For example, send a Microsoft Teams message when a test equipment item fails an inspection, or notify by email about upcoming calibration dates.

Automated reporting
Export inspection data regularly to Google Sheets, Excel, or your business intelligence software. Automatically create monthly reports for completed inspections or utilization analyses.

Procurement processes
Automatically create new test equipment records in Memida as soon as they are registered in your inventory or ERP system. Link order numbers, suppliers, and additional information during creation.

Ticketing system integration
Automatically create tickets in your service desk system when equipment requires repair or defects are found during an inspection.

Document management
Synchronize inspection reports, certificates, and documents with your DMS. Upload automatically generated PDFs to SharePoint, Nextcloud, or other document management solutions.

Calendar integration
Automatically create due inspection appointments in Google Calendar, Outlook, or other calendar systems so teams keep all deadlines in view.

Combine with webhooks​

With webhooks and n8n together, you can implement near-real-time processes:

  1. Memida sends an event via webhook.
  2. n8n processes the event in a webhook trigger.
  3. Follow-up actions run automatically, e.g. create a ticket, notify teams, or fetch additional API data.
