Connecting Robot Framework to other systems often requires extra effort. What if you could do it visually, with workflows that react to events like a change on a website, an IoT sensor alert, or a new customer record in your database? This talk introduces n8n-nodes-robotframework, an n8n community node that runs Robot Framework inside visual workflows. Use it to connect Robot Framework’s capabilities with prebuilt n8n nodes such as AI analysis, messaging, and database updates.
Automation is rarely an isolated activity. Tests, bots, and scripts deliver the most value when they interact with other tools and services.
n8n-nodes-robotframework enables Robot Framework tasks to run inside n8n’s visual workflows, so you can connect testing and RPA with hundreds of n8n nodes for APIs, databases, messaging, and AI.
Example workflow:
1. Robot Framework node opens a target web page with the Browser library.
2. If the item of interest appears, Robot captures a screenshot.
3. Screenshot is passed to an AI node (e.g. OpenAI) for analysis.
4. If it meets a threshold, a Telegram node sends an alert.
All of this is configured visually in n8n.
The session includes a live demonstration of Robot Framework running inside an n8n workflow. It uses a custom made n8n Docker image that includes Robot Framework and the Browser library for easy setup. Everything runs self-hosted, ensuring privacy and full control.
Participants will discover how Robot Framework can be used in n8n workflows, gaining confidence to start small or scale up. They'll leave with practical ideas and resources to experiment immediately.
- Discover how to orchestrate Robot Framework tasks in n8n workflows
- See use cases from simple alerts to AI-enhanced flows
- Learn how to set up a custom Docker image for quick experimentation
- Understand how to pass Robot outputs (screenshots, logs) into other nodes
- Gain confidence to start small and scale up while keeping everything self-hosted
