N8n Startup Notification Workflow

• Project Managers: To monitor the status of automated tasks in real-time.
• Developers: For triggering workflows and receiving instant notifications.
• Team Leaders: To keep the team informed about project starts and updates via Mattermost.
• Automation Enthusiasts: Individuals looking to streamline their processes with automated notifications.

This workflow addresses the need for real-time notifications when an n8n instance is initiated. It ensures that relevant team members are promptly informed, enhancing communication and collaboration within teams. By integrating n8n with Mattermost, users can avoid missed updates and stay aligned on project developments.

• Step 1: The workflow is manually triggered by the user, initiating the process.
• Step 2: Upon triggering, the n8n Trigger node captures the event, noting the timestamp of the instance start.
• Step 3: The workflow then sends a message via the Mattermost node, informing the specified channel that the n8n instance has started, including the exact timestamp for reference.
