SpreadAPI Is Now a Verified n8n Node

We're excited to share that n8n-nodes-spreadapi has been reviewed and verified by the n8n team. The node is rolling out to n8n Cloud with the next release batch — Cloud users will find SpreadAPI directly in the nodes panel, no installation required. Self-hosted users can install it today via Settings → Community Nodes.

Why an n8n node for spreadsheets?

n8n is brilliant at moving data between systems. But every real business workflow eventually hits a moment where something needs to be calculated: a price with tiered discounts, a commission, a loan schedule, an insurance premium.

The native options all hurt:

• The Code node means rewriting your Excel model in JavaScript — weeks of work, and from then on every change must happen twice. The versions drift apart, silently.
• The Excel and Google Sheets nodes read and write files, but they don't execute formulas. A formula written into a cell arrives as dead text.

Meanwhile, the model already exists. Someone in your team built it in Excel, tested it for years, and maintains it every quarter. SpreadAPI turns exactly that file into a calculation API — and the n8n node makes it a first-class workflow step.

What the verified node does

• One-paste setup: Copy the service URL from SpreadAPI's Integration panel into the node's credential. n8n tests the connection and shows a green check.
• Self-building input forms: The node reads your service definition and renders typed fields — dropdowns for allowed values, toggles for booleans, hints on percentage inputs. No guessing parameter names.
• One calculation per item: Feed it 100 items, get 100 results — batch pricing and bulk quotes the n8n way.
• AI agent tool: The node registers as a tool for n8n AI agents, so your agent answers with numbers computed by your actual Excel model instead of guessing.
• Formulas stay private: n8n only exchanges inputs and outputs with SpreadAPI. The workbook — formulas, margins, logic — never leaves the platform.

The node is open source under MIT license (GitHub, npm), and "verified" means the n8n team reviewed its functionality, UX, and code.

Your first calculation in five minutes

1. Publish your Excel model on SpreadAPI: upload, mark inputs and outputs, publish.
2. Install the node: on n8n Cloud, search for "SpreadAPI" in the nodes panel; self-hosted, install n8n-nodes-spreadapi under Settings → Community Nodes.
3. Create the credential: paste the service URL from the Integration panel's n8n section. Green check = connected.
4. Pick your service, set inputs, execute. Outputs come back as flat fields, ready to map into the next node.

The full setup guide with screenshots lives on our n8n integration page.

What's next

We're building workflow templates for the n8n template gallery — quote generation, lead scoring, and an AI agent with a real Excel calculation tool. If you build something with the node, we'd genuinely love to hear about it.
