Workflow Automation Integration
Human-in-the-Loop Consent Delegation for n8n AI Workflows
Require explicit user approval before n8n AI agent nodes execute high-risk webhooks, API calls, or database mutations.
Integration Code Example (JAVASCRIPT)
import { PermitlyClient } from 'permitly';
const permitly = new PermitlyClient({ apiKey: process.env.PERMITLY_API_KEY });
// Request user consent before executing n8n node
const consent = await permitly.consent.request({
agentId: 'n8n-stripe-agent',
scopes: ['stripe.refund.execute'],
userId: 'usr_8921',
description: 'Approve $450 customer refund in n8n pipeline'
});
console.log('Hosted Consent URL:', consent.consentUrl);Execution Sequence Flow

High-ROI Security Gate
Protecting your n8n Workflows pipeline against unauthorized actions delivers an immediate compliance audit trail with zero infrastructure overhead.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I integrate Permitly with n8n?
Use the Permitly Node.js SDK inside an n8n Code Node or HTTP Request Node to pause workflow execution until a signed consent token is verified.
What happens if a user declines consent in n8n?
Permitly returns a declined status, causing the n8n workflow to safely branch to an error-handling path without executing the downstream action.
