finlight for n8n: Real-Time Financial Automation with Webhooks
We’re thrilled to announce that finlight is now officially usable inside n8n via our community node! This means you can seamlessly pull financial news, alerts, and real-time events into automated workflows — with zero boilerplate and maximum flexibility 🚀.
The finlight n8n package, published on npm under the n8n-community-node-package keyword, lets you discover and install our integration directly in n8n. You’ll find it when you search for “finlight” in the node installation UI or via npm — just look for the package name
@finlight/n8n-nodes-finlight.
🧠 What This Means for You
If you’ve ever wanted to mix financial intelligence with powerful automation, this is a game-changer.
With the finlight community node in n8n, you can:
🔔 Trigger on Real-Time Events
Our Webhook Trigger node lets n8n listen for events pushed from finlight — like breaking news headlines, geopolitical shifts, or macro market alerts — and kick off workflows instantly.
No polling. No delays. Just event-driven automation.
Think:
- Slack alerts when a major economic event breaks
- Database writes for sentiment spikes
- Email or SMS notifications for industry-specific triggers
- Custom dashboards that update automatically
🔍 Search & Filter Financial Content
The Article Search node makes it easy to pull structured news from finlight via REST API with rich filtering options such as:
- Tickers
- Language
- Date ranges
- Sources and article metadata
Perfect for workflows that:
- Build periodic reports
- Enrich CRM records with financial context
- Drive insights into BI tools
- Feed AI models with fresh financial data
🧩 Why This Matters
finlight already offers a powerful financial news API — with REST, WebSocket streaming, and now webhooks that push events as they happen — making it ideal for automated, reactive systems.
But integrating this into a no-code or low-code automation workflow used to require custom engineering.
With our n8n community node, you get that power without the pain.
Here’s what you can now do in a few clicks:
- Trigger workflows on specific financial events
- Filter notifications by ticker, sentiment, or keywords
- Route those events into hundreds of connected apps
- Build dashboards, alerts, and workflows with no backend code
🚀 Getting Started
Here’s how to add finlight to your n8n instance:
- In n8n, open Settings → Community Nodes
- Search for finlight
- Install
@finlight/n8n-nodes-finlight - Restart n8n and enjoy the new nodes in your workflow editor
If you prefer a DIY or manual install, you can also pull it from npm:
npm install @finlight/n8n-nodes-finlight
Then set the N8N_CUSTOM_EXTENSIONS environment variable to point to the node directory.
🎯 What’s Next?
We’re just getting started.
This node already unlocks real-time financial triggers inside n8n, but the real power comes from connecting finlight to downstream systems — databases, Slack, CRM tools, ML models, and more.
Think of it as:
finlight for your workflows — automating your reactions to the world of finance.
If you have ideas for new nodes, workflows you’d like to share, or feedback on this integration — we’d love to hear from you.
