Install DeskCrew in n8n
Automate your desk from any n8n workflow: create tickets, post replies, publish knowledge-base articles and changelog entries, and file issues.
Install the node
- In n8n, open Settings → Community Nodes → Install.
- Enter
n8n-nodes-deskcrewand confirm. - The DeskCrew node appears in the node picker.
Connect your workspace
- In DeskCrew, open Dashboard → API keys and create a key. Grant only the scopes your workflows need:
tickets:read,tickets:write,tickets:reply,kb:write,changelog:write,issues:write. - In n8n, add a DeskCrew API credential and paste the key (it starts with
dk_). Leave the base URL as-is.
What the node can do
- Ticket: Create, Get, Get Many, Reply. Replies default to draft mode, which queues them for human approval in your dashboard; switch to send mode only when your workspace allows live API replies.
- Knowledge Base Article: Create (draft or published), Get Many.
- Changelog Entry: Create, Get Many.
- Issue: Create (bug or feature), Get Many.
A first workflow to try
Wire a form or webhook trigger into DeskCrew → Ticket → Create with the subject and the customer email mapped from the trigger. Every submission becomes a ticket in your inbox, with the customer attached and email notifications on.
