Automate Sitecopilot with n8n. Use built‑in HTTP nodes (no plugin required) or an optional helper module (Sitecopilot SuperTool) to simplify common actions. This overview covers capabilities, install, structure, and best practices.
All examples use JSON over HTTPS and Bearer tokens.

​
What you can automate

  • Pages — list, create, delete (GET/POST/DELETE /api/pages|/api/page).
  • Content — update templates & banner (PUT /api/content).
  • Assets — upload media (POST /api/asset).
  • Settings — analytics code, noindex, statistics iframe (POST /api/settings).
  • Sitemap — fetch JSON (POST /api/sitemap).
  • Notifications — send status to the editor UI (POST /api/notifications).
  • AI‑assisted flows — send page context to Sitecopilot Cloud and apply the returned proposal.

​
Two API surfaces

  • Central (Admin) — tenant lifecycle & tokens.
  • Tenant (Site) — content, assets, settings, notifications, sitemap, chatbot.
Create two credentials in n8n (recommended):
  • SITECOPILOT_ADMIN_BASE_URL + SITECOPILOT_ADMIN_TOKEN
  • SITECOPILOT_TENANT_BASE_URL + SITECOPILOT_TENANT_TOKEN

​
Install paths (no custom node required)

Use native n8n nodes:
  • HTTP Request — API calls (header Authorization: Bearer <TOKEN>)
  • Cron — schedules
  • Webhook — inbound triggers
  • Code — compose payloads
This is the simplest, fully supported approach.

​
Optional helper: Sitecopilot SuperTool

A small JS module wrapping common API calls.

​
Download & place

  1. Download sitecopilot-supertool.js from your repository.
  2. Put it in the custom folder of your n8n instance:
  • Docker/K8s: /home/node/.n8n/custom/sitecopilot/sitecopilot-supertool.js
  • Linux: ~/.n8n/custom/sitecopilot/sitecopilot-supertool.js
  • macOS Desktop: ~/Library/Application Support/n8n/custom/sitecopilot/sitecopilot-supertool.js
  1. Restart n8n to make it available to Code nodes.
This module is imported by a Code node. For a visual palette node, package it later as a Community Node.

​
Use from a Code node

import { sitecopilotSuperTool } from './custom/sitecopilot/sitecopilot-supertool.js';


const token = $env.SITECOPILOT_TENANT_TOKEN;
const baseUrl = $env.SITECOPILOT_TENANT_BASE_URL; // e.g. https://tenant.example.com


const out = await sitecopilotSuperTool({ action: 'listPages', token, baseUrl });
return [{ out }];

​
Supported actions (extendable)

  • listPages, createPage, deletePage
  • updateContent
  • uploadAsset
  • updateSettings
  • getVariables, updateVariable, deleteVariable (if enabled)

​
Error handling & retries

  • 4xx: fix input (validation/auth). 5xx: retry with backoff.
  • Use n8n node retry + error branch for alerts.
  • Log error, message, and details when present.

​
Security & secrets

  • Store tokens as Credentials or Environment variables (never hard‑code in nodes).
  • Use separate creds for Central vs Tenant.
  • Rotate tokens and apply rate limits.
