Administration / UI
The plugin extends the plugin configuration with three buttons that let you send data to n8n manually. Each button is registered as its own Administration component.
| Component | Label (EN) | Action |
|---|---|---|
vlp8n-send-products | Send products to n8n | Sends products (optionally filtered by category) |
vlp8n-send-customers | Send customers to n8n | Sends all customers |
vlp8n-send-orders | Send orders to n8n | Sends all orders |
Sending products
The “Send Products” card additionally contains a Product category selector. With it you can restrict the export to one or more categories. Without a selection, all products are sent.
Workflow:
- Optionally select one or more categories.
- Click “Send products to n8n”.
- The message “Synchronization started” appears, advising you not to close the window.
- When finished, “Synchronization finished” appears.
Sending customers
On the “Send Customers” card a single click on “Send customers to n8n” is enough. The plugin transfers all customers to the customer webhook URL.
Sending orders
On the “Send Orders” card, “Send orders to n8n” transfers all orders to the order webhook URL.
Status messages
The components display notifications during and after sending. The most important messages:
| Key | English |
|---|---|
syncStartedTitle | Synchronization started |
syncFinishedTitle | Synchronization finished |
noWebhookLabel | No webhook URL set |
noProductsFound | No products found |
noCustomersFound | No customers found |
noOrdersFound | No orders found |
errorOccurred | An error occurred |

All UI texts are stored as snippets in

you change or add texts, you must rebuild the Administration assets.

Technical background
The buttons call the JavaScript service vlp8nService
(service/n8n-service.js), which in turn calls the plugin's API endpoints
(_action/vlp8n/send_products, …/send_customers, …/send_orders). See the
API reference for details.
