About Stackby
Stackby is a spreadsheet-database hybrid that lets teams organise data in structured tables with column types like attachments, checkboxes, dropdowns, and API-linked columns. Think of it as a more structured alternative to spreadsheets that non-technical teams can actually manage. The n8n node lets you read, create, update, and delete records programmatically.
The practical value shows up when Stackby is the source of truth for a team that does not want to work inside a traditional database. Marketing teams track campaigns, operations teams manage inventory, and project managers run task boards — all in Stackby. n8n connects those tables to the rest of your systems so data flows without manual exports or imports.
A common pattern is using Stackby as the front end for a workflow that touches multiple services. A team member updates a status column in Stackby, n8n picks up the change, triggers actions in your CRM, sends notifications, and updates related records in other systems. The team never leaves their familiar spreadsheet interface, but the automation runs in the background.
If your team has outgrown spreadsheets but is not ready for a full-blown database, Stackby paired with n8n gives you structured data with automated workflows on top. Our data processing team regularly builds this kind of setup for clients who need reliability without complexity.

How it works
We work hand-in-hand with you to implement Stackby
As Stackby 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 Stackby with integrate and automate 800+ tools.
Step 1
Set Up Your Stackby Table Structure
Design your Stackby table with the columns and data types your workflow needs. Use clear column names and consistent data formats, as these will map directly to the fields n8n reads and writes.
Step 2
Generate Stackby API Credentials
Get your Stackby API key from your account settings. Note your stack ID and table name, as you will need these to configure the n8n node to connect to the right table.
Step 3
Configure the Stackby Node in n8n
Add the Stackby node to your workflow and enter your API key, stack ID, table name, and view. Select the operation — read, create, update, or delete — and map the relevant fields.
Step 4
Build Data Transformation Logic
Add nodes to transform the data between Stackby’s format and whatever your downstream systems expect. This includes type conversions, field mapping, and handling empty or null values gracefully.
Step 5
Connect to Downstream Systems
Wire up the output to your CRM, database, notification system, or whatever tools need the data. For two-way sync, build a separate workflow that writes changes back to Stackby from the other system.
Step 6
Test with Real Data and Schedule
Run the workflow with actual Stackby data to verify field mapping and edge cases. Set up the trigger schedule — whether that is a cron job for polling or an event-based trigger — and monitor the first few automated runs.
