vitelnk event types you can send on, from lead.captured to video.watched
How It Works
In n8n, create a new workflow and add a "Webhook" trigger node, then copy the generated URL
In vitelnk Settings → Webhooks, add the n8n URL as a new endpoint and select your events
Send a sample event from vitelnk: n8n receives the JSON payload, with every field filled in, and maps the fields automatically
Build out your workflow with any n8n action nodes: databases, CRMs, email, Slack, and 2,300+ integrations
Use Cases
Lead captured → n8n checks internal PostgreSQL → creates HubSpot contact if new → Slack alert to rep
Video watched 100% → n8n enriches email via Clearbit → updates Salesforce opportunity score
CTA clicked → n8n triggers multi-step sequence: create deal in Pipedrive + send templated email + log to Airtable
Share viewed → n8n writes to internal analytics database for custom reporting, no third-party analytics needed
Frequently Asked Questions
n8n is open-source and free to self-host on your own server or VPS. n8n also offers a managed cloud plan starting at a low monthly fee if you prefer not to manage infrastructure. Either way, there are no per-operation charges: you pay for hosting, not for workflow runs.
n8n is self-hostable and open-source, so your data stays on your infrastructure. It also supports code nodes (JavaScript/Python) for logic that visual tools can't handle, and has no operation limits on self-hosted installs. If data sovereignty or unlimited volume matters to your team, n8n is the right choice.
Add a "Code" node after your Webhook trigger. Use JavaScript to compute HMAC-SHA256 of the raw body using your endpoint secret, and compare it to the X-vitelnk-Signature header. If they don't match, stop the workflow. The vitelnk Help Center page at /docs/webhooks has the exact verification code.
n8n automatically parses the JSON body into named fields. You'll see: event, timestamp, data.video_id, data.video_title, data.share_token, data.share_name, and event-specific fields like data.email (lead.captured) or data.watch_percent (video.watched). Reference these in any downstream node.
Yes. n8n supports IF/Switch branches, loops over arrays, merge nodes, and full JavaScript/Python code nodes. For example: check if a contact exists in your database before creating in HubSpot, or aggregate multiple video.watched events per session before triggering a follow-up.
vitelnk retries failed deliveries up to 5 times with exponential backoff (10s → 30s → 60s → 5m → 10m). If your n8n instance recovers within that window, the event will be delivered. For production use, run n8n with a process manager like PM2 or as a Docker container with restart policies.
