How n8n works with Curviate

Curviate sends LinkedIn events to an n8n Webhook node as they happen, and n8n calls the Curviate API to act on LinkedIn: add people to a Motion, send a message or read a company page. Signed webhooks out, a REST API in, and nothing to install.

What you can build

Three flows teams set up first. Each one takes a few minutes.

Every reply, straight to your team

A new LinkedIn reply posts the message and the sender’s profile to a Slack channel.

message.received

Form leads into a Motion

Someone fills in your Typeform, and n8n adds them to the right Motion within seconds.

POST /v1/motions/…/contacts

Accepted invites in your CRM

When an invitation is accepted, n8n creates or updates the contact in HubSpot.

connection.accepted

Set up n8n with Curviate

Everything runs on two things Curviate gives every account: signed webhooks out and a REST API in.

1
Copy your Curviate API key
In the Curviate dashboard, open Settings, then API & Webhooks, and copy your key.
# keep it in your tool's credentials, never in plain text
CURVIATE_API_KEY=cvt_live_••••3f9a
2
Start with the Webhook node
Create a new flow in n8n, start it with the Webhook node and copy the URL it gives you.
# the URL your Webhook node gives you
https://your-n8n-webhook-url
3
Send Curviate events to it
Create a webhook in Curviate for the events you need, then send a test event so n8n can read the fields. You can do the same in the dashboard under Settings, then API & Webhooks. Each webhook covers one source: messaging for replies, user for accepted invitations, motion for Motion outcomes, account_status for account alerts.
curl https://api.curviate.com/v1/webhooks \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CURVIATE_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "source": "messaging",
    "events": ["message.received"],
    "account_ids": ["acc_…"],
    "request_url": "https://your-n8n-webhook-url"
  }'
4
Call Curviate from n8n
Add the HTTP Request node with the headers Authorization: Bearer plus your key and Content-Type: application/json, and call any Curviate action. This one adds a person and starts a Motion.
# add the person as a contact
POST https://api.curviate.com/v1/contacts
{ "linkedin_url": "linkedin.com/in/lenaweber", "first_name": "Lena" }

# start your Motion for them
POST https://api.curviate.com/v1/motions/mot_…/contacts
{ "contact_ids": ["con_…"] }
5
Check the signature
Every delivery carries a Curviate-Signature header: an HMAC-SHA256 of the timestamp and the raw body, made with your webhook’s secret. Compare it before you act, and drop anything older than five minutes.
Curviate-Signature: t=1792230000,v1=5f2c9a…e81b

# expected = HMAC_SHA256(secret, t + "." + raw_body)

Questions about Curviate x n8n

Does it work with self-hosted n8n?

Yes. Curviate delivers to any n8n instance that is reachable over HTTPS, in the cloud or on your own server.

Which LinkedIn events can start a n8n flow?

Messages, accepted invitations, published posts, account status changes and every step of a Motion, from a contact starting it to a reply that ends it.

Can n8n act on LinkedIn too?

Yes. Every Curviate action is a plain HTTPS call, so n8n can search, message, invite or start a Motion, inside the limits you set for each account.
