ancoreMate Automations

Run and manage the automations of Qlik Cloud: run, stop and retry automations, follow their runs, copy, enable or move automations and maintain their connections. Triggers when an automation changes or a run starts, ends or fails.

In n8n, these actions are in the node ancoreMate; the triggers are events of the node ancoreMate Trigger. Each action below names its n8n resource and operation.

Get started​

Use List automations and List automation runs to find failed runs of Qlik Automate, or Run automation to start an existing automation from a flow, for example while moving automations step by step.

Good to know​

  • Automations can only be run and changed by users with the corresponding rights in Qlik Cloud.
