n8n (Workflow Automation)

n8n enables powerful workflow automation for Morta so you can automate repetitive tasks, trigger email notifications, and orchestrate complex workflows across your Morta hubs. Think of it as a visual automation engine for your hub: automatically process document response submissions, trigger compliance checks, move data between hubs, and create intelligent workflows that respond to project events.


Below are the core capabilities and bite-size use cases with short demos.

⚙️ Example automations at a glance

  • Automatic classification: automatically classify documents in your synced CDE Morta table according to their description.
  • PDF Text extraction: extract text (description, revision, scale, etc.) from drawing titleblocks and use it to compare against the MIDP
  • Data Synchronization: Summarize and/or consolidate data in multiple hubs in a central hub
  • Notification & Alerts: Send targeted notifications to project teams, stakeholders, and discipline leads based on project milestones or issues.

⚠️ Safety & constraints (read this first)

  • No Undo: Automated data changes and schema modifications are permanent. Test workflows in sandbox environments before production deployment.
  • API Rate Limits: Respect Morta's API limits (10 API calls per second) and implement appropriate delays in bulk operations to maintain system stability.
  • Access Control: Use API keys with minimal required permissions and restrict workflow access to necessary hubs, documents and tables only.
  • Data Sensitivity: Construction project data contains confidential information. Ensure automated workflows comply with client confidentiality and data protection requirements.
