UnoPim n8n Connector is an UnoPim extension that provides an UnoPim n8n Integration for catalog workflows, in both directions.
A product, category, attribute, or family change starts a workflow. n8n can also read and update catalog records in return.
Seventeen catalog events are available, including wildcards that cover one record type or the whole catalog.
Eleven catalog resources can be listed, read, created, replaced, or removed from an n8n workflow.
Delivery queues, signed requests, failure counts, and delivery logs keep the traffic between UnoPim and n8n on record.
Additionally, if you want to send your catalog to a Shopify store, then check UnoPim Shopify Connector.
Highlighted Features of UnoPim n8n Connector
17 Catalog Events
Start n8n workflows when products, categories, attributes, or families are created, updated, or deleted.
11 Catalog Resources
Read and write products, categories, attributes, families, locales, channels, currencies, and more.
Locale and Channel Filtering
Limit workflow data to a chosen locale and channel, with each value kept in its saved scope.
Nested JSON Payloads
Receive structured catalog data with the identifier, record type, human reference, and event.
Queue-Based Delivery
Run deliveries on a separate n8n queue, so a slow workflow never holds up indexing or imports.
Signed Deliveries
Block private and loopback destinations, and sign each delivery with HMAC-SHA256 when a secret is set.
Delivery Logs
Record every attempt with its event, record, outcome, HTTP code, duration, payload, and response.
AI Agent Support
Add the catalog node as an AI Agent tool, so an agent can query and update products directly.
Why Do We Need UnoPim n8n Connector?
UnoPim n8n Connector lets catalog changes start the workflows your team already runs in n8n, with no integration built per tool.
Without an n8n PIM Integration, each catalog change needs a manual check or a separate integration per tool.
That work repeats for every Slack alert, sheet update, or storefront push the team wants to run.
n8n can also write data back, so UnoPim Catalog Automation such as enrichment and cleanup runs end to end.
Setup is short: switch a workflow on in n8n and it registers itself in UnoPim. Switch it off and it disconnects.
When an update goes missing, the Delivery Logs page shows the payload that was sent and the response that came back.
Also, if you want approval steps before product changes go live, you can check our extension UnoPim Maker Checker Workflow.
UnoPim n8n Automation Use Cases
-
Product Launch Notifications
Filter the product.updated event on status and post to Slack when a product goes live.
-
Catalog Change Tracking
Send catalog.any events to Google Sheets, so merchandising keeps a running change log.
-
Product Data Enrichment
On a schedule, find products missing a description, have an AI node write one, and save it back.
-
Attribute Removal Alerts
Open a ticket when the attribute.deleted event fires, because an attribute removal is rarely meant to be silent.
-
Storefront Updates
Transform each product update in n8n and pass it to your commerce platform, one record at a time.
-
AI Catalog Updates
Let an n8n AI Agent query and update product information through the catalog node.
Catalog Events and Workflow Triggers
UnoPim publishes an event the moment a supported record changes. There are 12 concrete events and 5 wildcard events.
A single save reaches its concrete event, its record-type wildcard, and the catalog wildcard, but never the same workflow twice.
- Listen for product.created, product.updated, and product.deleted.
- Listen for category created, updated, and deleted events.
- Listen for attribute and attribute family changes of all three kinds.
- Use product.any, category.any, attribute.any, or family.any for one record type.
- Use catalog.any to receive all 12 concrete events in one workflow.
- Read the record type and human reference carried by every payload.
Localization and Channel-Based Catalog Data
A workflow can narrow deliveries to a single locale and channel, so it only receives the catalog data it needs.
- Filter deliveries by a single locale.
- Filter deliveries by a single channel.
- Keep common, locale-specific, channel-specific, and channel-and-locale values intact.
- Turn on Flatten Values per workflow for a single flat field list.
- Read flattened keys that carry their channel and locale.
Secure UnoPim and n8n Connection
The n8n credential uses an UnoPim API key: client ID, client secret, API username, and API password.
The connector handles token exchange, caching, and one retry on expiry for the workflow author. A connection test names the instance.
- Accept only HTTP or HTTPS URLs, without embedded credentials, trailing slashes, or query strings.
- Check every destination and block private, loopback, and link-local addresses.
- Pin the validated address for the connection and never follow redirects.
- Sign each delivery with HMAC-SHA256 when the workflow sets a signing secret.
- Reject a delivery at the trigger when its signature does not match.
- Restrict the credential to this connector's own nodes.
Reliable Workflow Delivery and Logging
Deliveries run on their own queue, named n8n by default, so a slow workflow cannot hold up product indexing or imports.
A failed delivery is counted, not acted on. The subscription stays, and it pauses only after 5 consecutive failures.
- Wait up to 15 seconds per delivery by default.
- Clear the failure count when n8n registers the workflow again.
- Queue nothing when no workflow is listening.
- Log the event, record, outcome, HTTP code, duration, and destination host.
- Open View Payload to see what was sent and what came back.
- Keep log rows for 30 days by default, or forever.
Admin Workflow and Delivery Management
For UnoPim Workflow Automation, the connector adds an n8n section to the sidebar with Connected Workflows and Delivery Logs.
Connected Workflows is read-only apart from a manual disconnect, because n8n creates and removes these records itself.
- See the event, n8n host, workflow, status, failures, last delivery, and connection time.
- Search, filter, and sort both grids.
- Read Delivered, Failed, and Blocked outcomes in plain language.
- Expand the Delivery Summary for the success rate and outcome counts.
- Control access with dedicated ACL permissions for each page.
- Use the module in all 33 languages UnoPim ships.
Configuration and Technical Requirements
An environment variable can override every connector setting, from the queue name to the log retention period.
A console command clears log rows that are older than the retention window.
- Set N8N_QUEUE, N8N_TIMEOUT, and N8N_FAILURE_THRESHOLD for delivery behaviour.
- Set N8N_MAX_PAYLOAD_KEYS and N8N_SAMPLE_SIZE for payload size and editor samples.
- Set N8N_LOGGING, N8N_LOG_RETENTION_DAYS, and N8N_LOG_MAX_PAYLOAD_KEYS for logs.
- Run UnoPim 3.0 or newer on PHP 8.4 with MySQL or PostgreSQL.
- Run a queue worker on the connector's queue.
- Use n8n 1.x or newer, reachable from UnoPim over HTTP or HTTPS.
