WoodWing Assets Node for n8n: 9 Operations, One Node

The WoodWing Assets Node is an n8n community node by 3f8h.net for direct integration with WoodWing Assets Server 6. Login, upload, search, update, history, and more: all available as clean nodes inside your n8n workflow, without HTTP request boilerplate.

What can the node do?

Nine operations that cover the bulk of all Assets Server workflows:

  • Login: authenticate against the Assets Server, auth token handling for follow-up requests
  • Search: asset search with the Assets query language (e.g. assetDomain:image, filename:*.jpg)
  • Asset History: history and versioning of an asset, with selectable detail levels 0 to 5
  • Create: upload an asset with file and metadata, or create a placeholder asset
  • Create or Update: create new or update existing at the same path, in one step
  • Create Folder: create one or many folders in a single request
  • Update: update existing assets (file, metadata, or both)
  • Download: load a single asset file (original, preview, or thumbnail)
  • Download as ZIP: download multiple assets bundled as ZIP

Typical use cases

  • Compliance and audit trails: query asset history, document who changed what and when, meet regulatory requirements
  • Metadata synchronization: sync metadata between Assets Server and external systems (PIM, ERP, CMS)
  • Bulk upload and migration: mass-upload from source directories, combined with folder operations and metadata tagging
  • Versioning workflows: create new versions automatically, archive old ones, trigger status updates
  • DAM reporting: run search operations on schedule, aggregate results, ship reports

Technical details

  • WoodWing Assets Server 6.x (on-premises and cloud). Version for Assets 10 coming soon.
  • n8n 1.0.0 or later
  • n8n Cloud compatible, no external dependencies
  • AuthToken-based authentication with token reuse: log in once, run any number of follow-up operations in the same workflow
  • Enhanced logging with ISO timestamps and a custom prefix, easy to find in n8n logs
  • Debug mode with detailed request and response info for troubleshooting

MIT license, free for fair use

The node runs without any technical restrictions, with or without a license key. All 9 operations work without limitation. No tracking, no phone home, no remote calls. We trust the honor system.

Commercial license for production use

If you run the node in production, a commercial license is available. More important than the license badge: the license funds maintenance and support. Concretely, that means for you:

  • Active maintenance with updates for new WoodWing Assets API versions, including the upcoming Assets 10 release
  • New operations as the Assets Server REST API evolves
  • Priority bug fixes, ahead of the open-source backlog
  • Direct support from the 3f8h team with WoodWing and n8n expertise
  • n8n compatibility, tested and verified before each n8n release

Free for WoodWing customers of 3f8h.net / electronic publishing
