1.1 Workflow description

Title
Elastic alert notification via Microsoft Graph API
Workflow name
Elastic alert notification via Microsoft Graph API

Who is this template for?

This template is for teams and administrators who use n8n to monitor Elastic alerts and want to receive automated email notifications when an alert is triggered. It leverages Microsoft Graph API to send emails and provides an efficient way to notify users about alerts directly in their inbox.

How it works?

The template connects to the Elastic API to retrieve alert data. When a new alert is detected, the workflow processes the alert content and sends an email notification via Microsoft Graph API. The email includes alert details such as the alert name, timestamp, severity, and a summary of the message, allowing for quick action or review.

Setup steps

Step 1: Set up OAuth2 Credentials in n8n for Microsoft Graph API with Mail.Send permission. Step 2: Configure your Elastic API endpoint in the HTTP Request node to retrieve alerts. Step 3: Modify the email recipients in the template to specify who will receive the alert notifications. Step 4: Customize the email format, if necessary, to include additional alert details or adjust the message.

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/2523/2523.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.
