1.1 Workflow description

Title
Create ticket for duplicate devices in Syncro
Workflow name
Create ticket for duplicate devices in Syncro

This workflow contains community nodes that are only compatible with the self-hosted version of n8n.

Using the serial number for assets, this workflow will create a ticket with the subject "Found duplicate Serial Numbers" with a list of all of the duplicate assets for a technician to review and merge.

Duplicate assets causes incorrect billing (if customers are billed based on asset counts), and additional overhead when reviewing the history of assets when that history is spread across multiple instances.

Note: Due to limitations of the Syncro API, automatically merging duplicate assets is not possible.

How it works:

  • Get a list of all assets in Syncro and summarize the list based on the Customer ID, Asset Type, and Asset Serial
  • Create a new ticket listing all of the duplicate assets

Set up steps:

  • Install the Syncro RMM community node
  • Connect a Syncro RMM account*
  • Open the "Create a ticket" node and update the customer ID

*See Syncro RMM Community Node documentation for details about how to get a Syncro API key and what permissions the Syncro API key needs

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/3210/3210.json as the source template for this automation.

  2. 2. Import the template into n8n

    Open n8n, import the downloaded JSON, and review each node before activating the workflow.

  3. 3. Configure credentials and variables

    Replace placeholder credentials, API keys, webhook URLs, account IDs, and environment-specific values with your own settings.

  4. 4. Test with sample data

    Run the workflow manually or in a staging workspace, inspect node output, and confirm downstream systems receive the expected data.

  5. 5. Activate and monitor

    Enable the workflow only after testing, then monitor executions, errors, and rate limits during the first production runs.

5. General Notes & Resources

Review imported nodes carefully before activation. This catalog entry is intended to help you inspect the workflow structure, understand required services, and find related templates faster.

Node names, credentials, schedules, webhook paths, and external service limits may need adjustment for your workspace.
