STEP 1
Select SSH in workflow
Pick SSH app in the workflow builder [4] - just one click to select the app.
SSH Integration
Run shell commands on remote servers over a secure SSH connection. Bring the command results straight into your workflow. Drop SSH into any workflow on the visual canvas to shape how automations run. Combine it with 1,300+ app integrations and other built-in workflow nodes to build the exact flow you need.

Supported triggers and actions for SSH integration
Triggers can detect changes in SSH and run actions that can create, search or modify data inside SSH automatically [3] — exactly how you set them.

How to integrate SSH in automation workflow?
3 simple steps to make your SSH connected with other apps in automation workflows on WEXTL. Up to 10 minutes integration set up.
STEP 2
Connect SSH
When prompted, authorize access to SSH in WEXTL once. SSH credentials are encrypted and never shared with WEXTL. Authorization will be reused in any future API calls [3].
SSH Access Approval
WEXTL wants to integrate with your SSH account. Approve?
STEP 3
Build a workflow
Build your workflow with SSH yourself or with WEXTL® AI Builder. Connect SSH to any available integrations [5], or use HTTP node to go beyond them.
SSH
Connect SSH to popular apps on WEXTL
Enter a name of the other app you want to sync with SSH below. Click on selected app to explore integration options with SSH. If the app you search for is not available in WEXTL yet, you can use HTTP node [10] instead to integrate it directly.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about automating SSH in your workflows.
SSH is a built-in WEXTL workflow node. In practice, run shell commands on remote servers over a secure SSH connection. Bring the command results straight into your workflow. Configure the node's settings panel to control how it behaves inside your automation.
Drop SSH onto the visual canvas alongside app integrations and other built-in workflow nodes. Connect it to the steps before and after, configure its parameters, and it runs as part of the automation every time the workflow executes.
No. Most automations are built visually on the canvas by picking triggers, actions, and mapping fields. You can add custom JavaScript with Functions when advanced logic is needed — but our customers do that in rare cases [4].
Yes. WEXTL authenticates every connection per account, encrypts credentials at rest, and lets you enforce approvals and team-level access controls on any automation that uses SSH.
SSH runs alongside app integrations on the same workflow canvas. It receives data from upstream steps (triggers or other nodes) and passes results to downstream steps. Refer to our SSH Documentation for detailed inputs and outputs.
Absolutely. SSH works with every trigger source and every app integration on WEXTL. Combine it with native app triggers, scheduled polling, or the Custom Webhook node so SSH can react to events from any external system.
WEXTL is an AI-first visual canvas. The platform allows you to describe automation in plain text — and AI will wire nodes like SSH inside the workflow builder [4]. You can combine SSH with app integrations and other built-in workflow nodes (AI Agent, Human in the Loop, Condition, Aggregate Results) to build the exact flow you need.
