The Technical Architecture

This workflow achieves its functionality through a streamlined two-node configuration:

1. n8n Trigger Node: Automatically activates when your n8n instance initializes
2. Mattermost Node: Sends a customizable notification to your specified Mattermost channel

The workflow requires minimal setup - simply configure your Mattermost credentials and customize your notification message. The system then works autonomously, providing instant status updates without any manual intervention.
