Brief Description:

Perfex CRM to N8n Module enables real-time, event-based automation by sending instant webhook events from Perfex CRM to your self-hosted or cloud n8n instance.

This module turns Perfex CRM into an automation-ready system — allowing you to build unlimited workflows, connect to hundreds of tools, and automate business processes without recurring subscription fees.

No polling. No delays. Full control over your data.

Key Features:

• Real-Time Webhook Triggers: Send instant events from Perfex CRM to n8n the moment an action occurs. No polling, no delays — true real-time automation.
• Support Many Core Event Types: Trigger workflows for Leads, Invoices, Proposals, Customers, Contacts, Tasks, and Estimates, covering all essential CRM activities.
• Queued & Non-Blocking Processing: All webhook events are queued and processed asynchronously, ensuring your Perfex CRM remains fast and responsive with zero performance impact, even during high activity.
• Secure Webhook Authentication: Webhook payloads are protected using HMAC-SHA256 signature verification, ensuring only trusted requests reach your n8n instance.
• Event Delivery Logs: Track every webhook attempt with detailed delivery logs, making monitoring, debugging, and auditing simple.
• Automatic Retry for Failed Webhooks: If a webhook delivery fails, it is automatically retried with intelligent retry handling, ensuring events are not lost due to temporary issues.

• Related Information: Associated records like status, source, groups, and custom fields
