Has anyone tried building a Chrome Extension that uses n8n as a backend?
Hey everyone 👋
I’ve been thinking about experimenting with a Google Chrome Extension that connects to n8n as the backend.
For example:
- Having a small Chrome extension button to quickly trigger an n8n workflow.
- A use case might be something like posting or commenting on LinkedIn (where the extension collects input → sends it to n8n → workflow executes the action, e.g. posting a comment, saving data, or calling an API).
I’m curious if anyone here has:
- Tried integrating a browser extension with n8n before?
- Used the extension as a simple frontend to trigger workflows?
- Faced any authentication/security challenges connecting the two?
Would love to hear if anyone experimented with this or if there are best practices/examples out there 🙌
