Managing product data across systems is often complex, time-consuming, and dependent on engineering. We’re changing that with a new integration that gives merchandisers, marketers, and technical teams the power to automate product workflows with ease.
Today, we’re excited to announce the release of the Fredhopper Product Discovery Node for n8n, a powerful new way to connect your product data with your broader digital ecosystem.
What is it?
The new integration makes it simple to connect Crownpeak’s Fredhopper and XO platforms to the n8n automation platform, a visual workflow tool trusted by thousands of businesses worldwide. With this node, teams can automate product-related tasks such as:
- Creating and updating product items
- Managing schemas, catalogs, and category trees
- Configuring locale-specific data
- Triggering workflows across third-party tools
And they can do all of this without writing a single line of code.
Why it matters
Modern digital teams are under constant pressure to deliver faster and with fewer resources. But integrating product data across CMS, PIM, commerce, and marketing platforms can often feel like a never-ending development project.
With this new integration, we’re giving Crownpeak customers a low-code path to automation, one that shortens time to value and removes complexity from day-to-day operations.
Whether it’s onboarding new SKUs, syncing a seasonal catalog, or rolling out multilingual content, this connector empowers teams to move faster with more control and less engineering overhead.
How it works
The n8n Node is open source and available via GitHub under the MIT License. Once installed in your n8n environment, it exposes every method available through the Fredhopper Product Discovery API (CIDP), including:
- Full CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) for product items
- Management of catalogs, schemas, categories, and locales
- Dynamic expressions and variable chaining for advanced workflows
- Support for both Fredhopper and XO APIs
The node can be connected to over 300 other services inside n8n—including SFTP, Airtable, Google Sheets, and more—allowing you to build highly tailored automation pipelines around your product data.
Real-world use cases
Here are just a few examples of how teams are already using the node:
- Product onboarding
Automatically create product entries in Fredhopper as soon as they’re approved in a PIM or ERP system.
- Localized merchandising
Sync locale-specific data for multiple regions at once without duplicating work.
- Automated cleanup
Schedule workflows to remove discontinued products or restructure category trees.
- Data enrichment
Combine product metadata from external sources before pushing it into the discovery engine.
