Why this matters
We hear the same request constantly: "We love the API, but we want this carrier data flowing into Slack / Google Sheets / our CRM / our internal Notion without one of our engineers babysitting a script." Fair. Building integrations is the boring tax you pay before you get to do the interesting work.
n8n removes that tax. It's the most popular open-source workflow automation platform out there, used by ops and RevOps teams who want the power of code with the speed of drag-and-drop. With AlphaLoops as a verified node, your team can ship carrier intelligence into any internal process in an afternoon instead of a sprint.
This is the third surface we've shipped this year for getting AlphaLoops data out of our app and into the tools you already use, alongside our Salesforce app and our MCP server. Pick whichever fits your stack.
What's in the node
13 operations across the five resources our customers use most:
Carrier
-
Get by DOT, Get by MC, Search, Filtered Query, Get Authority, Get News
Contact
-
Search (find people at a carrier), Enrich (verified emails and phones)
Fleet
-
Get Trucks, Get Trailers
Safety
-
List Crashes, List Inspections, Get Violations
This is the same data that powers the AlphaLoops app. Every operation hits the same production API, with the same freshness, the same coverage, and the same rate limits as your dashboard.
A few things you can build in 20 minutes
-
Carrier alert in Slack when a target account has a new crash or out-of-service event. Trigger: cron. Steps: pull your watchlist from a Sheet, run List Inspections and List Crashes for each, post anything new to a Slack channel.
-
Auto-enrich inbound demo requests. Trigger: HubSpot form submission. Steps: take the company name, run Carrier Search to resolve to a DOT, then Get by DOT plus Contact Search to fill the lead record before the SDR sees it.
-
Daily territory digest. Trigger: schedule. Steps: Filtered Query for new authorities in a state with N power units, format as an HTML table, email the rep.
-
MC verification before booking. Trigger: webhook from your TMS. Steps: Get by MC, check authority status and inspection history, return a pass/fail with reasons. Useful if you don't want to wire up the full API yourself.
If you build something interesting we'd love to see it. Drop it in our GitHub or send it over.
Getting started
The node is verified, which means an n8n instance owner installs it once and everyone on the instance can use it. Setup takes about two minutes:
-
In n8n, open the editor and click + to open the Nodes panel.
-
Search "AlphaLoops" and add the node.
-
Paste your API key. Get one from your AlphaLoops dashboard under Settings > API.
-
Build.
Full install instructions are on the n8n integration page.
What's next
The current node covers the operations that matter for prospecting and account research. Next up: watchlist management, risk signals as triggers (so n8n workflows can fire on authority-for-sale alerts and fraud indicators in real time), and intent signals as a filter. If there's an operation you want sooner, tell us.
