Spike integrates with n8n through the n8n-nodes-spike community node. Use it to:
  • trigger workflows on new Spike submissions
  • create forms from n8n
  • submit data to Spike forms from n8n workflows

​
Install the Node

In your n8n instance:
  1. Go to Settings
  2. Open Community Nodes
  3. Install n8n-nodes-spike
  4. Restart n8n if your deployment requires it
Package:

​
Create Credentials

Create a Spike API credential in n8n with:
  • API Key
  • Base URL
For most users the base URL is: 
https://api.spike.ac

​
Available Nodes

​
Spike Trigger

Starts a workflow when a selected Spike form receives a new submission. Use this when you want to:
  • send leads to your CRM
  • notify Slack or email tools
  • create tickets or tasks automatically

​
Spike

Supports:
  • Create Form
  • Submit Form

​
Required Spike Values

Some workflows need Spike identifiers from the dashboard:
  • Form ID: available in form settings
  • Form Slug: available in form settings
  • Organization Slug: available in dashboard settings

​
Trigger Setup

For the trigger to work, your Spike backend must support webhook subscriptions and delivery. Spike uses these endpoints for the n8n trigger:
  • POST /integrations/n8n/hooks
  • DELETE /integrations/n8n/hooks
Each active trigger creates a subscription in Spike’s automation_webhooks table.

​
Example Workflow

  1. Add Spike Trigger
  2. Choose a form
  3. Add a follow-up action like Slack, Gmail, HubSpot, or Notion
  4. Activate the workflow
  5. Submit the form in Spike
Your n8n workflow will run when Spike delivers the submission event.

​
Troubleshooting

​
Trigger does not receive events

Check:
  • your Spike API key is valid
  • your Spike backend is deployed with the n8n hook endpoints
  • the n8n instance is publicly reachable
  • a row exists in automation_webhooks for provider n8n

​
Form submission action asks for org or form identifiers

Get them from Spike settings:
  • Organization Slug from dashboard settings
  • Form Slug from the form settings page
  • Form ID from the form settings page
