Share your n8n credentials
To build automations on your tools, we need access to them inside n8n. This guide shows you how to give us that access without ever sending a password or API key.
- 1
Create your n8n account
Sign up for n8n Cloud and open your instance. Credential sharing is included on every n8n Cloud plan. If you self-host n8n, sharing requires the Business or Enterprise plan.
- 2
Add the credentials for your tools
Go to Overview → Credentials and create a credential for each tool we are automating, such as your calendar, CRM, or email provider. Sign in with the app or paste its API key directly into n8n.
Your secrets stay inside your n8n account. You never need to send them to us.
- 3
Invite Everlight to your n8n
Open Settings → Users, select Invite, and enter everlightautomation@gmail.com. Leave the role as Member. We accept the invitation from our side.
- 4
Share each credential with us
In Overview → Credentials, open a credential and select the Sharing tab. Choose the Everlight user from the Share with projects or users list, then select Save. Repeat for every credential the automation needs.
- 5
Let us know you are done
Email everlightautomation@gmail.com with the list of credentials you shared, and we will start building.
What we can and cannot see
A shared credential lets us use it in workflows. We cannot view or edit its details, so your passwords and API keys stay hidden from us.
Removing access
You stay in control. To stop sharing a credential, open its Sharing tab, select the trash icon next to Everlight, and select Save. To remove all access, delete the Everlight user from Settings → Users. Workflows that use a removed credential will stop working.
Keep secrets out of email
Never send passwords or API keys by email, text, or chat. If anyone asks you to, share the credential in n8n instead. Questions? Email everlightautomation@gmail.com.
