About ZScaler ZIA
Zscaler ZIA (Zscaler Internet Access) is a cloud-native secure web gateway that inspects all internet traffic to enforce security policies, block threats, and prevent data loss — regardless of where your users are located. The n8n ZScaler ZIA node lets you automate URL categorisation lookups, policy management, and security reporting without manually logging into the ZIA admin portal.
Traditional web security relied on on-premises proxy appliances that only worked when users were in the office. ZIA shifts that enforcement to the cloud, inspecting traffic from any location. But managing URL categories, investigating blocked requests, maintaining custom allow and block lists, and generating compliance reports still requires manual admin work — work that scales poorly as your organisation and policy complexity grow.
With n8n and the ZIA node, you can build workflows that automatically update URL category overrides based on threat intelligence feeds, generate scheduled reports on blocked traffic and policy violations, investigate user-reported access issues by looking up URL classifications, and sync security policies across ZIA and other tools in your stack. The automation handles the repetitive administration while your security team focuses on policy decisions.
Osher Digital helps Australian businesses automate security operations and system integrations using n8n. If your team manages Zscaler ZIA and wants to reduce manual policy administration or improve threat response times, our business automation specialists can build the workflows to make it happen.

How it works
We work hand-in-hand with you to implement ZScaler ZIA
As ZScaler ZIA 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 ZScaler ZIA with integrate and automate 800+ tools.
Step 1
Obtain ZIA API Credentials
In your Zscaler admin portal, enable API access and generate the credentials needed for authentication. Note the base URL for your ZIA cloud instance, as this varies by region and deployment.
Step 2
Configure n8n Credentials
Add the Zscaler ZIA credentials in n8n, entering your API key, admin username, password, and cloud URL. Test the connection to verify that n8n can authenticate and access your ZIA instance successfully.
Step 3
Plan Your Security Automation
Identify which ZIA operations to automate — URL category updates from threat feeds, scheduled compliance reports, or policy synchronisation tasks. Map the data flow from trigger sources through ZIA operations to output destinations.
Step 4
Add the ZScaler ZIA Node
Place the node in your workflow and select the operation — URL lookup, category management, block list update, or reporting. Connect input data from your trigger or upstream processing nodes to the ZIA node’s parameters.
Step 5
Implement Processing Logic
Add nodes to validate and format data before sending to ZIA. Deduplicate URLs, validate formats, and batch operations where appropriate. Include error handling for API failures or invalid inputs to keep the workflow resilient.
Step 6
Test and Activate
Run the workflow with test data and verify results in the ZIA admin portal. Confirm that URL categories update correctly, reports generate accurately, and block list changes apply as expected. Activate the workflow once testing is complete.
