Cliniko Connector for N8N

Self-hosted Cliniko automation. No per-task fees.

Everything Zapier does, with full control over your infrastructure, your logic, and your costs. Open source. Unlimited runs.

The problem

When Zapier hits its ceiling.

Zapier's great — until you're running 500 Zaps a month and the bill is eye-watering. Or you need logic that Zapier can't express. Or your compliance team wants everything on your own infrastructure. N8N gives you the power of Zapier with full control — and now it speaks Cliniko.

What's included

Six reasons developers prefer N8N.

Full API coverage

Every Cliniko API endpoint, wrapped in clean N8N nodes. Patients, appointments, invoices, practitioners, products — all accessible.

Unlimited workflows

Self-hosted means no per-execution pricing. Run thousands of automations without watching costs climb.

Complex logic

If/else branching, loops, error handling, and multi-step workflows that Zapier can't touch. Build exactly what your practice needs.

Self-hosted security

Runs on your infrastructure. Patient data stays in your network. Perfect for practices with strict data sovereignty requirements.

Open source friendly

N8N is open source. The connector is a standard N8N community node — install it like any other.

Developer ready

Full TypeScript support, webhook triggers, cron scheduling, and direct API access for when the nodes aren't enough.

How it connects

A standard N8N community node.

Installs as a standard N8N community node package (npm). Authenticates via Cliniko API key stored in your N8N credentials vault. Supports all CRUD operations on core Cliniko objects. A webhook node is available for real-time event triggers.

Real-world scenarios

Three ways customers actually use it.

01

The privacy-conscious multi-practitioner clinic

All patient data stays on-premises. Complex rebooking workflows run locally with full audit logging.

02

The developer building a practice platform

Use N8N as the integration layer between Cliniko, a custom patient portal, and your own APIs. Full programmatic control.

03

The practice group scaling automation

Started with Zapier, hit the cost ceiling. Migrated to N8N and now runs 2,000+ workflow executions per month for a flat hosting cost.

FAQ

Common questions.

Do I need to self-host N8N?
You can self-host (Docker, bare metal, or cloud VM) or use N8N Cloud. The connector works with both.
How is this different from the Zapier connector?
Same Cliniko integration, different automation platform. N8N is open source, self-hostable, and has no per-execution costs. Choose N8N if you want full control, complex logic, or need data to stay on your infrastructure.
Is this suitable for non-developers?
N8N has a visual workflow builder similar to Zapier. However, it does require a bit more technical comfort — especially for self-hosting. If you want the simplest possible setup, the Zapier connector might be a better fit.
How do I install the connector?
Install via npm in your N8N instance (npm install n8n-nodes-cliniko — exact package name TBC). Restart N8N and the Cliniko nodes appear in your workflow editor.
