Package Your n8n Workflows Into Full Web Apps (Step-By-Step)
AI Summary
Video Summary: Creating Client Branded Apps without Code
- Introduction
- Focus on building client branded applications using Lovable, Superbase, and N8N.
- Example project: Multi-step article generation app.
- Tools Involved
- UX Pilot: Front-end design creation.
- Lovable: Dynamic front-end app building.
- Superbase: User authentication, database management, and secure storage of API keys.
- N8N: Back-end functionality and triggering automated workflows.
- Design Considerations
- Decide between multi-instance (separate apps for clients) or multi-tenant (shared app for multiple clients).
- Multi-instance allows easier data isolation, client-specific features, and integration with N8N scenarios.
- Multi-tenant approach is cheaper and easier for onboarding but requires robust data security measures.
- Payment Processing
- Handle payments outside the app (e.g., using Stripe).
- Superbase user management for creating accounts.
- Important to have a developer review code for security before going live.
- Building the App
- Use UX Pilot for front-end designs and Lovable for building the UI.
- Create logical prompts for article generation (title, outline, tone of voice).
- Integrate Superbase for authentication and manage users manually.
- N8N Integration
- Set up separate workflows for generating articles and outlines via N8N.
- Ensure that web hooks are generic for multi-tenant setups and handle specific client needs without exposing sensitive info.
- Test each workflow independently before full integration.
- Finalizing App Features
- Ensure that drafts can be saved, articles can be generated, and content displayed correctly.
- Integrate functionalities to regenerate images and publish articles directly to WordPress.
- Implement security features by using authorization keys for web hook calls.
- Deployment
- Publish the app on Lovable’s subdomain or your own domain.
- Add user accounts and provide a user-friendly interface for clients to interact with the app.
- Conclusion
- Emphasis on separating logic into multiple web hooks for easier management and scaling of the app.
- Encouragement to engage with communities for access to further automation resources and support.
