What you can automate with TheHive Trigger

TheHive Trigger is an n8n node that listens for events from TheHive, the open-source security incident response platform. While the standard TheHive node lets you push data into TheHive (creating cases, adding observables), the Trigger node works in the opposite direction — it fires your n8n workflow whenever something happens in TheHive, such as a new case being created, a task being updated, or an alert being raised. This is particularly useful for security operations teams that want to automate their response to incidents. Instead of analysts manually checking TheHive for updates and then performing actions in other systems, the Trigger node pushes those events to n8n the moment they happen. From there, you can route notifications to the right channel, enrich case data with external threat intelligence, update ticketing systems, or kick off remediation playbooks automatically. Osher works with security-conscious Australian organisations to build automated incident response workflows. Connecting TheHive to the rest of your security stack through n8n means your analysts spend less time on administrative tasks and more time on actual investigation. If your SOC team is dealing with alert fatigue or slow response times, our integration team can help automate the operational overhead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about how TheHive Trigger consultants can help with integration and implementation

TheHive Trigger can listen for case creation, case updates, alert creation, alert updates, task log entries, and observable additions. You configure which event types the trigger responds to, so your workflow only fires for the events that matter to your automation. This lets you build separate workflows for different event categories.

How it works

We work hand-in-hand with you to implement TheHive Trigger

As TheHive Trigger consultants we work with you hand in hand build more efficient and effective operations. Here’s how we will work with you to automate your business and integrate TheHive Trigger with integrate and automate 800+ tools.

Step 1

Configure TheHive Webhook Output

In TheHive's administration settings, configure a webhook notification endpoint pointing to your n8n instance. Set the webhook URL to match your n8n Webhook or TheHive Trigger node's listening address. Make sure your n8n instance is reachable from your TheHive server, especially if they are on different networks.

Step 2

Set Up n8n Credentials for TheHive

Create a TheHive credential in n8n with your instance URL, API key, and the correct API version (v4 or v5). Use a dedicated service account API key rather than a personal analyst key. Test the credential by running a simple query against your TheHive instance to confirm connectivity.

Step 3

Add the TheHive Trigger Node

Create a new n8n workflow and add TheHive Trigger as the starting node. Select the event types you want to listen for — case creation, alert updates, task changes, or observable additions. Activate the node to start listening for events from your TheHive instance.

Step 4

Build Your Response Automation

Add downstream nodes to handle each event type. For new alerts, this might include enrichment queries against threat intelligence APIs. For case updates, it might mean syncing status changes to Jira or Slack. Use Switch nodes to route different event types to different processing branches.

Step 5

Test with Simulated Incidents

Create test cases and alerts in TheHive to trigger your workflow. Verify that events arrive at n8n correctly, the data structure matches what your workflow expects, and all downstream actions complete successfully. Check for edge cases like cases with missing fields or unusual observable types.

Step 6

Activate and Monitor in Production

Enable the workflow in production mode and monitor the first few real incidents that pass through it. Watch for false positives in your filtering logic, check that enrichment results are written back to TheHive correctly, and verify that notifications reach the right teams. Review execution logs daily during the first week.
