Connect to Copicake in Your n8n Workflow

We're excited to introduce copicake/n8n-nodes-copicake, a custom node package that helps you integrate Copicake with your favorite n8n workflows in just a few clicks.

If you're already building internal tools or automations with n8n, this node makes it super straightforward to connect your Copicake templates, trigger image generations, and pass parameters dynamically. No need to juggle raw HTTP requests anymore.

We built this to scratch our own itch, and now it's open for everyone 🎉

🧩 What this node can do

With this custom node, you can:

  • Generate images from any Copicake template using dynamic data
  • Seamlessly plug Copicake into larger automation chains (like auto-emailing or scheduled posts)

🛠️ How to get started

Here's a step-by-step guide to get you up and running in no time.

1. Find the Community Nodes settings

In your n8n instance, go to Settings → Community nodes.
