1. Install n8n

Start by installing n8n on your server or use the cloud version. Follow the official documentation for installation instructions.

2. Connect Your WordPress Account

Once n8n is running, create a new workflow and add the WordPress node. Enter your WordPress site URL and authentication credentials to establish a connection.

3. Create an Automated Trigger

Select a trigger node based on your desired action. This could be an incoming webhook, a schedule, or any other triggering event you need.
