Investigation Workflow Templates (n8n)
Reusable n8n workflow patterns for automated investigation pipelines. Each template describes the node chain, webhook configuration, credential requirements, and expected outputs.
Available templates
| Template | Pattern | Endpoints used |
|---|---|---|
| Corporate investigation | Follow the money: entity → registry → contracts → graph | /investigate/workflow, /investigate/entity-lookup |
| Document triage | Batch intake: file drop → extract → cross-reference | /investigate/entity-lookup, /investigate/tool-recommend |
| Media verification | Viral content: trigger → reverse search → geo → assessment | /investigate/workflow, /investigate/entity-lookup |
Prerequisites
- n8n instance with HTTP Request node access
- Patriot API base URL and JWT token configured as n8n credentials
- For Tier 2 integrations: respective API keys configured in the Patriot API
.env
Credential setup in n8n
- Create an HTTP Header Auth credential in n8n:
- Name:
Patriot API - Header Name:
Authorization - Header Value:
Bearer
- For each workflow, configure the Patriot API base URL as an n8n variable:
- Variable name:
PATRIOT_API_URL - Value:
https://your-api-host/api/v1
Zero-PII discipline
All workflow data stays within the n8n execution context and the Patriot API. Workflows must not:
- Log personally identifiable information
- Send data to third-party analytics
- Store intermediate results outside the Patriot infrastructure
