n8n Authentication

The Probo n8n node authenticates using an API key sent as a Bearer token. You need to create credentials in n8n before using any Probo node.

  1. Add a Probo node to your workflow

    Search for “Probo” in the n8n node palette and drag it onto your canvas.

  2. Open the credentials dialog

    Click the Credential dropdown in the node and select Create New Credential.

  3. Configure the connection

    Field Default Description
    Probo Server https://us.console.getprobo.com Your Probo instance URL. Change this if you use a different region or self-host Probo.
    API Key Your Probo API key
  4. Test the connection

    Click Test to verify that n8n can reach your Probo instance and that the API key is valid. The node validates credentials by querying the authenticated user’s identity.

  5. Save

    Click Save to store the credentials. They’ll be available to all Probo nodes in your workflows.

You can generate an API key from the Probo console:

  1. Go to SettingsAPI Keys in your Probo organization.
  2. Click Create API Key.
  3. Copy the key — it won’t be shown again.

If you’re running a self-hosted Probo instance, set the Probo Server field to your instance URL (e.g., https://probo.internal.example.com). The node connects to the GraphQL API at /api/console/v1/graphql.
