Why automate Profitwell with n8n?
The ProfitWell n8n integration gives you access to 2 actions that let you programmatically retrieve your subscription metrics and company settings. This means you can automatically fetch your MRR, churn rate, customer lifetime value, and other key SaaS metrics whenever you need them—without manually exporting CSVs or logging into dashboards.
Significant time savings: No more daily ritual of exporting ProfitWell data and copying it into spreadsheets or reports. Set up automated workflows that pull your metrics on a schedule (daily, weekly, monthly) and push them wherever you need. Teams report saving 3-5 hours per week on manual reporting tasks alone.
Real-time business intelligence: Trigger alerts when metrics hit certain thresholds. Imagine getting a Slack notification the moment your churn rate exceeds 5%, or automatically updating your investor dashboard every Monday morning with fresh MRR data. With n8n, your ProfitWell data flows seamlessly into your existing business processes.
Concrete workflow examples: Automatically send weekly MRR reports to your executive team via email, sync subscription metrics to your data warehouse like Supabase, trigger Slack alerts when daily revenue drops below a threshold, or feed ProfitWell data into Google Sheets for custom financial modeling. The possibilities are extensive when you connect ProfitWell to n8n's ecosystem of 400+ integrations.

Key parameters:
- Credential to connect with: A required dropdown to select your ProfitWell account credentials. Choose an existing connection or create a new one if this is your first time using the integration.

Frequently asked questions
Is the ProfitWell n8n integration free to use?
Yes, the ProfitWell integration is included natively in n8n at no additional cost. n8n itself offers a free self-hosted version where you can run unlimited workflows on your own infrastructure. If you prefer a managed solution, n8n Cloud has tiered pricing based on workflow executions. On the ProfitWell side, their core product is free for subscription analytics, though you'll need to check if API access is included in your current plan or requires a paid tier. The integration itself requires no additional licenses or fees beyond your existing n8n and ProfitWell subscriptions.What subscription metrics can I retrieve from ProfitWell using n8n?
The ProfitWell n8n integration allows you to retrieve all the core subscription metrics that ProfitWell tracks. This includes Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR), Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR), churn rate, customer lifetime value (LTV), average revenue per user (ARPU), active subscribers count, and growth metrics. Using the "Metric: Get" action with the Type parameter, you can specify exactly which metric you need. The Simplify toggle helps format this data for easy consumption in downstream nodes like Google Sheets, databases, or notification services. For time-series data, use the Options section to define date ranges.How often can I automatically pull ProfitWell data with n8n?
n8n gives you complete flexibility over scheduling. Using the Schedule Trigger node, you can configure your ProfitWell workflows to run every minute, hourly, daily, weekly, or on any custom cron expression. For most subscription metrics, daily or weekly pulls are sufficient since metrics like MRR and churn don't change minute-by-minute. However, if you're building real-time dashboards or alerting systems, you could run workflows every 15-30 minutes. Be mindful of ProfitWell's API rate limits—check their official API documentation for current limits to avoid throttling. A practical setup is daily pulls for dashboards and weekly pulls for detailed reports.
