I am very excited for the workflows feature and I anticipate using this to greatly expand the capabilities of my forum.
I do think this one feature if well maintained will have a large community making automations and for that reason I think there should be a workflows category in this meta forum. Users could share or get help making workflows or make node requests.
I personally would like to see some features:
- send message to user in chat
- Create/Delete categories
- Plugin API (more on that later)
And more will likely come down the line as I experiment with Ideas.
The n8n forum has a custom plugin that allows you to see flows in a thread, This kind of feature would be great for the workflows category for collaboration and troubleshooting/support.
n8n also has discourse nodes that feature parity would be great, and even interoperability with those nodes would be cool, like using an n8n node call as a workflow trigger.
What I mean by plugin API, is having the ability to add nodes with a plugin. One idea I have in mind is the gamification plugin could be used to expand the points feature to allow dynamic behaviors like adding/removing points based on interactivity with the forum.
