  • Taiga

    Taiga

    Taiga is an open-source project management tool built for agile teams. It supports scrum with sprints, user stories, and task boards, as well as kanban with customisable columns and WIP limits. Because it’s open-source, teams can self-host it on their own infrastructure, which matters for organisations with strict data residency or security requirements. The Taiga n8n node lets you programmatically create and manage user stories, tasks, issues, and wiki pages. This opens up automation possibilities that go beyond what Taiga offers natively, like automatically creating user stories from customer feedback, syncing task statuses with external dashboards, or generating sprint reports in Google Sheets. Osher integrates Taiga with the other tools Australian development teams use. If your team manages sprints in Taiga but reports progress in Slack, tracks bugs in a separate system, or manually compiles sprint metrics, our system integration work connects those pieces so data flows automatically.

  • Mindee

    Mindee

    Mindee is a document processing API that uses machine learning to extract structured data from invoices, receipts, passports, bank statements, and other document types. Instead of manually keying in data from PDFs or scanned images, you send the document to Mindee’s API and get back clean, structured fields like amounts, dates, vendor names, and line items. For businesses that process a high volume of documents, whether invoices from suppliers, receipts from employees, or identity documents from customers, Mindee removes the manual data entry bottleneck. Using n8n, we connect Mindee to your existing systems so extracted data flows directly into your accounting software, CRM, or database without human intervention. Osher builds Mindee integrations for Australian businesses that are still manually entering data from documents. If your team spends hours each week typing invoice details into Xero or copying receipt data into expense reports, our automated data processing work can cut that time dramatically.

  • Bubble

    Bubble

    Bubble is a no-code platform for building web applications. It provides a visual editor for designing user interfaces, a built-in database for storing application data, and a workflow builder for creating application logic — all without writing traditional code. Businesses use Bubble to build customer portals, internal tools, marketplaces, SaaS products, and other web applications that would otherwise require a development team. The n8n Bubble node lets you interact with Bubble applications programmatically — creating, reading, updating, and deleting records in your Bubble database through its Data API. This is useful for scenarios where data needs to flow between your Bubble app and other systems: syncing new signups to your CRM, pushing order data to an accounting platform, importing product catalogues from a supplier, or sending transactional emails triggered by Bubble events. Osher works with Australian businesses that use Bubble alongside other tools and need the data to stay in sync. If your Bubble app is a standalone island that requires manual data transfer to or from your other systems, our integration team can connect it to your CRM, accounting software, email platform, or any other tool in your stack through n8n workflows.

  • n8n Trigger

    n8n Trigger

    The n8n Trigger node is the starting point for event-driven workflows in n8n. Rather than running on a schedule, it listens for incoming webhook calls or internal events and kicks off your automation the moment something happens. This makes it the foundation for real-time integrations where timing matters — things like processing a form submission the second it arrives, reacting to a payment notification, or syncing data between systems as soon as a record changes. Most n8n workflows that respond to external events start with either the n8n Trigger or the Webhook node. The n8n Trigger specifically handles n8n’s internal events (like workflow errors or execution completions), while the Webhook node handles external HTTP requests. Together, they give you full control over when and why a workflow fires. At Osher, we use trigger-based workflows constantly when building automations for Australian businesses. Getting trigger configuration right — including authentication, retry logic, and error handling — is what separates a prototype from a production-ready system. If you need help designing trigger-based automations, our n8n consulting team can architect workflows that run reliably at scale.

  • Gotify

    Gotify

    Gotify is a self-hosted, open-source push notification server that lets you send and receive messages through a simple REST API. Unlike services like Pushover or Slack, Gotify runs entirely on your own infrastructure, which means your notification data never passes through a third party. It is lightweight enough to run on a Raspberry Pi and supports message priorities, application-level access tokens, and a web-based UI for managing everything. In n8n, the Gotify node lets you send push notifications as part of your automated workflows. This is useful for alerting yourself or your team when something important happens — a deployment finishes, a monitoring check fails, an order comes through, or a scheduled job completes. Because Gotify is self-hosted, it is particularly well-suited to environments where data privacy matters or where you want to avoid per-message costs from commercial notification services. Osher helps Australian businesses set up self-hosted notification infrastructure as part of broader business automation projects. If you are already running n8n self-hosted, adding Gotify to the same server gives you a private notification channel for your workflows with zero ongoing subscription costs.

  • Stripe

    Stripe

    Stripe is a payment processing platform that handles online transactions, subscriptions, invoicing, and payouts. It provides a developer-friendly API that makes it straightforward to accept credit cards, debit cards, digital wallets (Apple Pay, Google Pay), and bank transfers. Stripe also includes tools for fraud detection (Radar), subscription billing, multi-currency support, and marketplace payment splitting. The n8n Stripe node lets you automate the operational side of payments — things like syncing new customers to your CRM, generating invoices when a project reaches a milestone, sending payment confirmation emails, reconciling transactions with your accounting system, or flagging disputed charges for your finance team. Combined with Stripe webhooks, you can build workflows that react to payment events in real time. Osher helps Australian businesses connect Stripe to the rest of their tech stack. Common projects include syncing Stripe transactions with Xero or MYOB, automating subscription lifecycle emails, and building internal dashboards that pull live revenue data. If your team is copying payment data between systems manually, our integration specialists can automate those handoffs.

  • S3

    S3

    Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) is AWS’s object storage service, used for storing and retrieving files of any size. It’s the backbone of file storage for a huge portion of the internet, handling everything from website assets and application backups to data lakes and media archives. S3 organises files into buckets and provides fine-grained access controls, versioning, lifecycle policies, and multiple storage tiers to optimise costs. The n8n node for S3 lets your automation workflows interact with S3 buckets directly: uploading files, downloading them, listing bucket contents, copying objects between buckets, and deleting objects. This is useful whenever a workflow needs to store, retrieve, or move files as part of a larger process. Common automation scenarios include saving report outputs or exported data to S3 for archiving, downloading files from S3 for processing through an AI model or data pipeline, syncing uploaded documents between S3 and other storage systems, and managing backup files across storage tiers. The n8n S3 node also works with S3-compatible storage providers like MinIO, Wasabi, and DigitalOcean Spaces, so you’re not locked into AWS. At Osher Digital, we incorporate S3 into n8n workflows whenever clients need reliable file storage as part of their automation. Whether it’s archiving processed documents, staging files for data pipelines, or managing media assets across platforms, we handle the bucket configuration, access policies, and n8n workflow logic.

  • ClickUp Trigger

    ClickUp Trigger

    The ClickUp Trigger node in n8n fires a workflow whenever something changes in your ClickUp workspace. Unlike the regular ClickUp node (which performs actions), the Trigger node listens for events: a task gets created, a status changes, a comment is added, a due date is updated, or an assignee changes. When the event occurs, the workflow runs automatically with the event data. This is the reactive side of ClickUp automation. Where the ClickUp action node lets your workflows push changes into ClickUp, the Trigger node lets ClickUp push events out to your other systems. Together, they enable two-way sync between ClickUp and the rest of your business tools. Common uses include notifying a Slack channel when a task moves to “In Review”, updating a client portal when a project milestone is marked complete, logging time tracking data to an external system when a task is closed, triggering an invoice creation in your accounting software when a task status changes to “Done”, and escalating overdue tasks by sending alerts to team leads. At Osher Digital, we use the ClickUp Trigger node to connect project management activity to downstream business processes. If your team lives in ClickUp but your clients, accounting, or operations teams use other tools, we build the bridge between them using n8n so everyone stays in the loop without manual status updates. Learn more about our system integration services.

  • Baserow

    Baserow is an open-source, self-hostable database platform that works like Airtable but gives you full control over your data and infrastructure. It provides a spreadsheet-style interface for creating and managing relational databases, making it accessible to non-technical users while still offering a proper API for developers who want to build on top of it. The appeal of Baserow over commercial alternatives is ownership: you can run it on your own servers, which matters for organisations with data residency requirements or those that simply don’t want their operational data sitting in a third-party SaaS platform. It supports all the field types you’d expect (text, numbers, dates, files, linked records, formulas) and offers grid, gallery, Kanban, and form views. The n8n node for Baserow lets your automation workflows read from and write to Baserow tables directly. This is useful for workflows that need a lightweight database backend without the overhead of setting up and querying a traditional SQL database. You might use Baserow as the central data store for a workflow that collects form submissions, tracks project status, or manages inventory across multiple locations. At Osher Digital, we help organisations set up Baserow as part of their automation stack, whether that’s self-hosting it alongside n8n or connecting it to existing systems. We design the table structures, configure the API connections in n8n, and build workflows that keep Baserow data in sync with your other tools. Learn more about our system integration services.

  • Pushover

    Pushover

    Pushover is a notification service that sends real-time push notifications to your phone, tablet, or desktop. Unlike email or SMS, Pushover notifications appear instantly as system-level alerts, which makes them ideal for time-sensitive alerts that need immediate attention. You pay once for the app and get a simple API that any system can call to send you a notification. In n8n workflows, the Pushover node is used as the “alert me” step at the end of a process. When something important happens, whether a job fails, a payment comes through, a server goes down, or a customer submits a high-priority request, the Pushover node sends a push notification to the right person’s phone. It supports priority levels (including emergency priority that keeps alerting until acknowledged), custom sounds, and links back to the relevant system. Pushover fills a gap that email doesn’t cover well: urgent, real-time alerts that are hard to miss. Emails get buried in inboxes. Pushover notifications pop up on your lock screen. For operations teams, system administrators, and business owners who need to know about critical events immediately, it’s a simple and reliable solution. At Osher Digital, we integrate Pushover into n8n workflows for clients who need reliable alerting without the complexity of a full incident management platform. We configure priority levels, delivery groups, and quiet hours so you get notified about what matters without being overwhelmed by noise. Learn more about our business automation services.

  • Merge

    Merge

    Merge is a unified API platform that solves one of the most frustrating problems in B2B software: building and maintaining dozens of individual integrations. Instead of writing separate connectors for every HRIS, ATS, CRM, accounting tool, and ticketing system your product needs to talk to, Merge gives you a single API that covers hundreds of third-party apps across these categories. For businesses building software products, this means your engineering team can ship integrations faster and spend less time debugging API changes from individual vendors. For companies wanting to connect internal tools, Merge reduces the overhead of keeping data consistent across platforms that were never designed to talk to each other. The n8n node for Merge lets you pull normalised data from any of Merge’s supported integrations into your automation workflows. You might use it to sync employee records from multiple HRIS platforms into a single source of truth, or to pull candidate data from various applicant tracking systems into your reporting pipeline. At Osher Digital, we help organisations design and build integration architectures that use Merge as the connective layer between their core systems. Whether you need to unify data from multiple SaaS tools or build customer-facing integrations into your own product, our team can plan the data mapping, configure the Merge connection in n8n, and make sure everything stays in sync. Learn more about our system integration services.

  • Code

    Code

    The Code node in n8n is where you write custom JavaScript or Python when the built-in nodes don’t cover what you need. Every automation platform has limits to what you can do with drag-and-drop configuration, and the Code node is n8n’s escape hatch for those situations. It lets you write arbitrary logic that runs as part of your workflow, with full access to the data flowing through it. You might use the Code node to transform data into a format that a downstream API expects, perform calculations across multiple input items, parse unstructured text, generate dynamic content, or implement business logic that’s too specific for a generic node. It receives input items from the previous node and returns output items to the next one, so it slots into any workflow like any other node. The Code node supports both “Run Once for All Items” (when you need to work across the entire dataset) and “Run Once for Each Item” (when you want to process records individually). It also has access to built-in helper methods for making HTTP requests, accessing environment variables, and working with dates, which means you can do quite a lot without importing external libraries. At Osher Digital, the Code node is something we use daily when building n8n workflows for clients. Whether it’s cleaning messy API data, implementing custom business rules, or building logic that no pre-built node covers, we write tested, documented code that your team can understand and maintain. Learn more about our n8n consulting services.
