Setting Up Your Rundeck Credentials in n8n
Alright, let’s get down to business. To configure your Rundeck credentials in n8n, you’ll need two things: your URL and a user API token. Here’s a step-by-step guide to get you going:

- A User API Token: To generate a user API token, head over to your Profile > User API Tokens. It’s as simple as that. Click, generate, and you’re ready to roll.
