How can I integrate RocketBot with n8n using RocketBot’s API?

Based on our current official documentation, n8n has built‐in support for Rocket.Chat (with dedicated credentials and a node) rather than RocketBot. There isn’t a dedicated RocketBot integration available at this time.

If RocketBot offers a comprehensive API, you can still integrate it with n8n by using the HTTP Request node to manually interact with its endpoints. Here are a few steps to consider:

1. Review RocketBot’s API Documentation:
   Identify the available endpoints (for example, to send messages, retrieve data, etc.), required authentication methods, and any rate limits or specific headers.

2. Set Up an HTTP Request Node:
   Configure an HTTP Request node in your workflow to make calls to RocketBot’s API. For instance, if you need to send a message, your node might look like this:

   JSONCopied
   {
     "method": "POST",
     "url": "https://your-rocketbot-instance.example/api/sendMessage",
     "headers": {
       "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN",
       "Content-Type": "application/json"
     },
     "json": {
       "channel": "channel-id",
       "message": "Hello from n8n!"
     }
   }

3. Handle Authentication:
   If RocketBot requires API tokens or another form of authentication, ensure that the node includes the necessary credentials (or consider setting up a dedicated credentials file if you plan to reuse the configuration).

4. Test Your Setup:
   Run a test with your HTTP Request node to verify that your API call returns the expected response. Adjust parameters, headers, or payloads as required by RocketBot’s API.

5. Build Your Workflow:
   Once you have a working API call, incorporate additional nodes as needed (e.g., Set, Function, or additional HTTP Request nodes) to create a fully automated workflow.

If you have specific endpoints or operations in RocketBot’s API that you’re targeting, sharing those details can help pinpoint the exact configuration needed. Otherwise, using the HTTP Request node is the general approach for integrating external APIs with n8n.

For more details on how to configure API calls and authentication using the HTTP Request node, you might want to consult the general n8n documentation on HTTP requests or review the documentation for similar integrations like those for Discord or Rocket.Chat.
