Automation
Build your own workflows on Lineman data with the community n8n node.
The Lineman community node puts your AI-coding spend, savings, allowance and cost alerts into an n8n workflow, and lets you change budgets, cost centres and alerts from an automation. You install it from n8n's community-nodes screen as @lineman-io/n8n-nodes-lineman, then add a Lineman API credential using a key created on the Keys page of your Lineman dashboard. The credential can do only what its owner can do: an administrator or auditor sees company-wide figures, anyone else sees only their own spend.
The Lineman Trigger node starts a workflow when a new company cost alert fires. The rest of the workflow can pass it to the chat channel, tracker or rota your team already uses. If you need faster delivery than the trigger gives you, point Lineman's alert webhook at an n8n Webhook node instead.
Run the Lineman action node on a schedule and read the Spend and Savings resources. A query window caps at 92 days and a longer range is rejected, so split a bigger export into chunks. Every amount comes back twice: use the _usd field to display it, and the _micro field when you are summing and care about rounding.
The node writes as well as reads, so a workflow can change a member's budget, a cost centre or an alert. Admin operations need a credential owned by an administrator. Note that a budget of null means the member inherits the company default, not that they may spend nothing.
The documentation walks through connecting it, what Lineman reads and writes, and the settings worth knowing about.
