n8n workflow

Compare Project Management Tool Requirements as a Comparison Matrix

Compare any project management tools automatically based on your individual requirements. This workflow receives a list of criteria and tools via webhook, validates the inputs, and calculates a fulfillment rate for each tool. The result is a clear matrix that you can use directly for your tool selection. Incorrect inputs are clearly reported. Ideal for teams, project managers, and decision-makers who want to objectify tool selection and save time.

This workflow enables you to compare project management tools objectively and automatically. Via a secured webhook, you send a list of your requirements along with the tools to be evaluated (each with a feature object). The workflow checks the inputs for completeness and correctness, calculates the number and percentage of fulfilled requirements for each tool, and returns a structured comparison matrix as JSON. Incorrect or incomplete inputs are responded to with a clear error message (HTTP 400). Setup is simple: import the workflow, configure webhook authentication, and use the provided test URL for your requests. The solution is suitable for teams, project managers, and decision-makers who want to standardize and accelerate tool selection processes. The matrix can be processed further or exported directly. Adjustments to criteria or tool structure are straightforward. Processing occurs locally in n8n; no external services are required. Execution data is stored in n8n; configure retention and access according to your data protection requirements.

Installation

1. Import the workflow into n8n. 2. Enable Basic Auth in the Webhook node ('Webhook Eingang') and create appropriate credentials in n8n (not within the workflow itself). 3. Save the workflow. 4. Start the test listener in the Webhook node and copy the displayed test URL. 5. Use a tool like curl or Postman to send a POST request with Content-Type application/json and proper authentication to the test URL (see usage examples). 6. Check the response. On success, the comparison matrix is returned as JSON; on errors, a clear error message is provided. 7. After successful testing, publish/activate the workflow and use the production URL from the Webhook node. 8. Optionally: configure execution logs and data retention in n8n according to data protection requirements.

Usage

1. Example of a valid request: { "requirements": ["Time Tracking", "Kanban"], "tools": [ {"name": "Tool A", "features": {"Time Tracking": true, "Kanban": false}}, {"name": "Tool B", "features": {"Time Tracking": true, "Kanban": true}} ] } 2. Expected response (HTTP 200): { "status": "success", "matrix": [ { "name": "Tool A", "fulfilled": 1, "total": 2, "details": {"Time Tracking": true, "Kanban": false}, "fulfillment": 50 }, { "name": "Tool B", "fulfilled": 2, "total": 2, "details": {"Time Tracking": true, "Kanban": true}, "fulfillment": 100 } ] } 3. Example of an invalid request (missing requirements): { "tools": [ {"name": "Tool A", "features": {"Time Tracking": true}} ] } 4. Expected error response (HTTP 400): { "status": "error", "message": "Pflichtfeld: requirements (nicht-leeres Array)" }
