With n8n + PassKit, you can build automated workflows that issue digital wallet passes like coupons, membership cards, or event tickets based on triggers from any app or internal system you connect. This gives you full control over when and how passes are created, updated, or managed.

Setting Up The Integration

To connect n8n with PassKit:

  1. Create and publish your digital pass in PassKit (e.g., loyalty, membership, coupon, or event pass).
  2. In your PassKit dashboard, go to Settings > Developer Tools to generate API credentials and confirm your API region.
  3. In n8n, set up your workflow:
    • Define your starting trigger (e.g., new contact, form submission, webhook, payment success).
    • Add an HTTP Request node to interact with PassKit’s API.
  4. Configure the HTTP node:
    • Authentication: Use your API credentials
    • Method: POST
    • URL: Based on your API region (e.g., https://api.pub1.passkit.io/members/member)
    • Body: Map the necessary customer or transaction data into the payload
  5. Map your fields from the original trigger app to your PassKit template fields.
  6. Complete the workflow by sending a pass link to the user via email, CRM update, or external app connection.

n8n lets you build fully custom automation based on any conditions you need.

Common Use Cases

n8n + PassKit is ideal for businesses needing custom or advanced automation control.

  • Issue a loyalty card when a payment is confirmed
  • Send a coupon after a survey is completed
  • Deliver an event ticket after a registration form is submitted
  • Trigger pass updates based on CRM or database changes
  • Revoke or expire passes when conditions are met (like cancellations or refunds)

It gives you complete flexibility over pass delivery based on real-time data.

Requirements

To set this up, you’ll need:

  • A PassKit account with a published pass
  • An n8n account (self-hosted or cloud)
  • API credentials from PassKit Developer Tools
  • Basic knowledge of configuring HTTP requests in n8n
  • Matching field structure between your data source and your PassKit pass template

No coding is needed, but familiarity with API workflows will make setup faster.
