n8n compatibility

Which instances PulserNode can connect to, and exactly which parts of n8n it relies on.

Matrix reviewed 3 August 2026

1. Supported versions

Self-hosted n8n 2.x, reachable from the internet over HTTPS, with the public API enabled and an API key created in n8n's own settings.

LineVersionStatus
Current2.31.1Probe, create, update, activate, webhook execution, and execution collection verified
Previous2.30.5Supported, full contract run pending
Oldest2.29.11Supported, full contract run pending

When you connect, PulserNode probes your instance and reports which capabilities it found, rather than failing later on a call your version does not support.

2. Endpoints PulserNode calls

3. What PulserNode never uses

  • Editor-private endpoints.
  • Your editor login or its credentials.
  • A proxy in front of the editor, or a broker for editor sessions.

4. Network requirements

Your instance must be reachable over HTTPS from PulserNode's servers. Addresses on private networks and localhost are refused in production, whatever the connection says. If your n8n sits behind a firewall, allow inbound HTTPS to its public address.

Upgrading n8n is always your decision. PulserNode documents compatibility; it never upgrades an instance.
