About Kitemaker
Kitemaker is a project management and issue tracking tool built for software development teams. It positions itself as a faster, more focused alternative to Jira or Linear, with features like real-time collaboration, deep GitHub and GitLab integration, cycle-based planning, and a keyboard-driven interface designed to minimise context switching for developers.
The n8n Kitemaker node connects your development workflow to your broader business systems. When a work item reaches a specific status (like “Ready for QA” or “Deployed”), n8n can notify stakeholders in Slack, update a client-facing status page, or trigger a deployment pipeline. When a bug report comes in through your support helpdesk, n8n can automatically create a Kitemaker work item with the relevant customer context attached.
This is useful for development teams that want their project management tool to talk to non-development systems without building custom integrations. Product managers get automated updates when features ship. Customer success teams see ticket-linked development progress. Finance teams get notified when billable work is completed. All of this happens through n8n workflows rather than manual status meetings or copy-paste updates.
If your development team uses Kitemaker and you want it connected to your support, sales, or internal reporting tools, our integrations team can build workflows that keep your development progress visible across the business.

How it works
We work hand-in-hand with you to implement Kitemaker
As Kitemaker consultants we work with you hand in hand build more efficient and effective operations. Here’s how we will work with you to automate your business and integrate Kitemaker with integrate and automate 800+ tools.
Step 1
Map your development and communication workflow
We start by understanding how your team uses Kitemaker — which projects and statuses matter, how work items relate to support tickets or client requests, and where manual status updates consume time. This tells us which connections between Kitemaker and your other tools will deliver the most value.
Step 2
Connect n8n to the Kitemaker API
We configure the n8n Kitemaker node with your workspace API credentials and test access to your projects and work items. We verify that n8n can create, read, and update work items correctly, and check that your custom fields and labels are accessible through the API.
Step 3
Build inbound work item creation workflows
We create workflows that automatically generate Kitemaker work items from external sources — support tickets from your helpdesk, feature requests from a form, or bug reports from a monitoring tool. Each workflow maps the source data to Kitemaker fields and applies the correct project, labels, and assignee.
Step 4
Set up status change notifications
We build workflows that detect when Kitemaker work items move to key statuses and push notifications to the right people — Slack messages for the product team when features ship, email updates for clients when their requested features are in QA, or dashboard updates for management reporting.
Step 5
Test with real work items
We run the workflows against your actual Kitemaker data — creating work items from test support tickets, moving items through statuses, and confirming notifications reach the correct channels. We check data accuracy, notification formatting, and handling of edge cases like deleted or archived work items.
Step 6
Document and hand off
We document every workflow, API connection, and notification rule. We walk your team through the n8n dashboard so they can monitor automations, adjust status triggers, and add new integrations as your process evolves. We also provide troubleshooting steps for common issues.
