n8n-nodes-friendgrid

This repo contains FriendGrid community nodes for n8n, including a ScreenshotBase node.

To make your custom node available to the community, you must create it as an npm package, and submit it to the npm registry.

If you would like your node to be available on n8n cloud you can also submit your node for verification.

Prerequisites

You need the following installed on your development machine:

  • git
  • Node.js and npm. Minimum version Node 20. You can find instructions on how to install both using nvm (Node Version Manager) for Linux, Mac, and WSL here. For Windows users, refer to Microsoft's guide to Install NodeJS on Windows.
  • Install n8n with:
    npm install n8n -g
  • Recommended: follow n8n's guide to set up your development environment.
