Example workflows (ready to adapt) – Generation-created automation (webhook)

This workflow automates post-generation tasks in DocuWriter.ai. It triggers on new generations, branches by type (Documentation vs Tests), fetches full details, and then:

  • Saves documentation to Google Drive
  • Commits generated tests to GitHub
  • Sends Slack notifications

You can import it directly into n8n and customize folder IDs, repo names, and channels.

Workflow Overview

Prerequisites

  • n8n (Node.js ≥ 18.10, pnpm)
  • Credentials configured in n8n:
    • DocuWriter.ai API (API Token)
    • Google Drive OAuth2 (Service Account)
    • GitHub OAuth2
    • Slack

Workflow Steps

Step Node Name Type Purpose
1. Trigger on new generation Generation Created DocuWriter.ai Trigger Listens for generation.created events
2. Branch by generation type Is Documentation? If Routes Documentation vs Tests
3a. Fetch full generation content Fetch Generation Details DocuWriter.ai Action Retrieves the generated content
4a. Save docs to Google Drive Save to Google Docs Google Drive – create document Creates an HTML doc with generated text
5a. Notify via Slack Notify Team (Slack) Slack – post message Alerts team with a link to the doc
3b. Generate test code Generate Tests DocuWriter.ai Action Produces test cases from source code
4b. Commit tests to GitHub Commit Tests to GitHub GitHub – create file Commits *.test.js with generated tests
5b. Notify via Slack Notify Tests (Slack) Slack – post message Alerts team that tests are available

Importing the Workflow

  1. Download examples/workflows/generation-created-webhook.json.
  2. In n8n, click Import → File → select the JSON.
  3. Adjust credentials and placeholder values.
{
  "name": "DocuWriter.ai Generation Created Automation",
  "nodes": [
    {
      "id": "webhook-trigger",
      "type": "n8n-nodes-docuwriter-ai.docuWriterTrigger",
      "parameters": {
        "event": "generation.created",
        "filterByGenerationType": true,
        "generationTypes": ["Documentation","Tests"]
      },
      "credentials": { "docuWriterApi": { "name": "DocuWriter.ai API" } }
    }
    // … other nodes …
  ]
}

Customization Points

  • YOUR_GOOGLE_DRIVE_FOLDER_ID – folder for docs
  • YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME / YOUR_GITHUB_REPOSITORY – repo to commit tests
  • Slack channel – e.g. #dev-team
  • Adjust branch names, commit messages, and message templates

Node Details

1. Generation Created (Trigger) 🎯

  • Type: docuWriterTrigger (Webhook)
  • Event: generation.created
  • Filters by Type: Documentation & Tests
  • Credentials: DocuWriter.ai API

2. Is Documentation? (Branch) 🔀

  • Type: n8n-nodes-base.if
  • Condition: {{$json.data.generation_type}} === 'Documentation'

Documentation Branch

  1. Fetch Generation Details
    • Type: docuWriter
    • Operation: generations.get
    • Input: generationId from trigger
  2. Save to Google Docs
    • Type: googleDrive (create document)
    • Body: HTML including filename, author, timestamp, generated content
  3. Notify Team (Slack)
    • Type: slack
    • Message: 📚 Documentation saved, with button to view in Drive

Tests Branch

  1. Generate Tests
    • Type: docuWriter
    • Resource: codeTests.generate
    • Input: source code & filename from trigger
  2. Commit Tests to GitHub
    • Type: github (create file)
    • Path: tests/{{$node["Generation Created"].json["data"]["filename"]}}.test.js
    • Content: tests from previous node
  3. Notify Tests (Slack)
    • Type: slack
    • Message: 🧪 Tests generated and committed, with file & repo info

Credentials Setup

{
  "commands": {
    "npm": "npm install n8n-nodes-docuwriter-ai",
    "yarn": "yarn add n8n-nodes-docuwriter-ai",
    "pnpm": "pnpm add n8n-nodes-docuwriter-ai",
    "bun": "bun add n8n-nodes-docuwriter-ai"
  }
}
  • Create DocuWriter.ai API credentials with your token and base URL.
  • Configure Google Drive service account with appropriate scopes.
  • Connect GitHub OAuth2 and Slack integrations in n8n.

By following this example, you can kick‐start AI-driven documentation and testing automation in your CI/CD pipeline.
