To connect Retell AI with n8n for workflows like updating contacts, booking appointments, and rescheduling:
## Setting Up the Integration
1.
Install the Retell AI Community Node in n8n [(1) ](
)
- Go to
Settings →
Community Nodes
- Search for
Retell AI and click
Install
2.
Add the Retell AI Node to Your Workflow
- In the n8n workflow editor, click
"+" to add a new node
- Search for
Retell AI
- Choose your action (e.g.,
Create a phone call)
- Paste your Retell AI API key from your dashboard
## Key Architecture Points
- Use
custom functions in Retell to trigger webhooks to n8n [(2) ](
)
- The webhook flow works like this: Retell sends data (via tool call) → n8n webhook receives it → n8n processes logic (e.g., calendar API, CRM update) → n8n sends response back to Retell
- Make sure your n8n webhook uses
POST method and the workflow is
active in production [(3) ](
)
## Important Tips
- Ensure the webhook in n8n is
not set to respond immediately—use "Respond to Webhook" node [(4) ](
)
- Retell is the client sending data; n8n is your server receiving it [(5) ](
)
- For booking appointments, you can use Retell's native cal.com integration, or build custom functions that call your calendar API through n8n
