Use a Google Sheet or Airtable Base as a live editor for SEO. Each row can update SEO for either a Page or a File (or both). The n8n workflow reads a single Source Sheet, then uses a Router node to send each row to the correct MOBLE API node — one for Page SEO and one for File SEO. All results are recorded to a Google Sheets Sync Log (even when Airtable or another app is the source).

1. Create Your Source Sheet (Google Sheets or Airtable)

• Create two Google Sheets using these names:
  • MOBLE-SEO-Source-Sheet — your main SEO sheet (tab: SEO)
  • MOBLE-SEO-Sync-Log — your automatic results log (tab: Sync Log)
• Download and open the templates above to scaffold the correct headers.
• Important: The n8n workflow looks for these default file names.
  
  • Document: MOBLE-SEO-Source-Sheet   
    Sheet (Tab): SEO
  • Document (Logs): MOBLE-SEO-Sync-Log   
    Sheet (Tab): Sync Log
• If you rename your sheets, that’s fine — just make sure to update the names in n8n under each Google Sheets or Airtable node to match exactly.
• Note: If the Page URL column is blank, the workflow auto-generates page_url (slug) from Page Name.
• One sheet, two APIs: You only maintain a single SEO sheet/table. The workflow’s Router decides whether each row updates Page SEO, File SEO, or both.

2. Import the n8n Workflow

• In n8n: Create Workflow → Import from File → select your SEO Workflow Template (.json):

Google Sheets variant: MOBLE-SEO_Google-Sheets→MOBLE.json
Airtable variant: MOBLE-SEO_Airtable→MOBLE.json

• The workflow opens in the n8n editor; leave it Inactive until setup is complete.

3. Add Trigger Node Credentials (in n8n)

Google Sheets Trigger Node

• Click the Trigger Node titled When Row Added or Updated.
• Under Credential to connect with, click + Create New Credential, choose Google Sheets OAuth2, complete sign-in, then Save.
• Configure:
  • Document: MOBLE-SEO-Source-Sheet
  • Sheet: SEO
  • If you changed the Sheet names in Step 1, use the new names.

Airtable Trigger Node

• Click the Trigger Node titled When Record Created or Updated.
• Under Credential to connect with, click + Create New Credential, choose Airtable OAuth2 (or Personal Access Token), authorize, then Save.
• Configure:
  • Base: MOBLE-SEO-Source-Sheet
  • Table: SEO
  • If you changed the Base/Table names in Step 1, use the new names.

Swap to Other App Trigger Node

• Open the Sticky Note titled App Swap Prompt inside the workflow.
• Copy its text into n8n’s Text-to-Workflow Assistant, edit for your chosen app and the fields you need, then apply.
• The Assistant replaces the source trigger while keeping the Router, MOBLE API nodes, and Google Sheets Sync Log nodes intact.
• Important: Enable only one source trigger (Google Sheets or Airtable or your swapped app) to avoid duplicate runs.

4. Add Google Sheet Sync Log Credentials (in n8n)

• Click the node titled Log to Consolidated Sheet.
• Attach your Google Sheets OAuth2 credential.
• Configure:
  • Document: MOBLE-SEO-Sync-Log
  • Sheet: Sync Log
• This node records every API response (create, update, error) into your log sheet.
• Sync Log Columns (8): timestamp, page_url, page_name, action, status, details, error_message, http_status

5. Get Your MOBLE API Key (in MOBLE)

• Go to MOBLE → Global Settings → Integrations → MOBLE API Key.
• Copy MOBLE API Key. Keys start with ak_.
• Keep this key safe — you’ll add it to n8n next.

6. Add MOBLE API Credentials (in n8n)

• Add the same Header credential to both SEO API nodes (after the Router):
  • MOBLE API: Page SEO
  • MOBLE API: File SEO
• For each node:
  • Click the node → Credential to connect with → + Create New Credential → select Header Auth.
  • Paste MOBLE API Key, and for the Name field write Authorization:
    • Name: Authorization
    • Value: Bearer ak_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
  • Save and reselect the credential in both nodes.

7. Test, Then Activate

• Click Execute Workflow (manual run).
• Add a simple row in your Source Sheet (Sheets or Airtable). For example, to test Page SEO:

Page Name: Home
Page URL: / (or home)
Meta Title: Welcome to Example Co
Meta Description: AI-first websites, SEO, and automation

• Check MOBLE → Pages for updated SEO on the matching page.
• Check MOBLE-SEO-Sync-Log → Sync Log for action: create or update, status: success.
• Once verified, toggle the workflow to Active for live syncing.

• Page Name — The display name of the page (maps to page_name). Required for Page SEO rows.
• Page URL — Unique slug for page_url (e.g., about-us). Leave blank to auto-generate from Page Name.
• File Name — Optional file name associated with the page (file_name).
• File URL — Optional file URL associated with the page or asset (file_url). Required for File SEO rows.
• File Alt Text — Image alt text (file_alt_text).
• File AI Instructions — Guidance for AI on how to use the file (file_ai_instructions).
• AI Instructions — Specific instructions for the Chatbot (SEO usage) (ai_instructions).
• Meta Title — HTML title tag (title).
• Meta Description — SEO description (meta_description).
• Meta Keywords — Comma-separated keywords (meta_keywords).
• Meta Tags — Raw HTML/script tags (including schema) (meta_tags).

• timestamp — When the sync ran.
• page_url — Slug that was created/updated.
• page_name — Page Name processed for this run (or related to file, if applicable).
• action — create, update, or validation.
• status — success or error.
• details — Short result note (e.g., “SEO updated”).
• error_message — Why it failed (if any).
• http_status — API code (e.g., 201, 200, 409) or 0 for validation errors.

• Nothing syncing: Ensure the workflow is Active and only one source trigger is enabled.
• 401/403: MOBLE API key missing/invalid. Header must be Authorization: Bearer ak_XXXXXXXX on both SEO API nodes (Page and File).
• Router issues: Ensure your rows have either Page Name/Page URL (for Page SEO) or File URL (for File SEO). Rows with neither will be treated as validation errors.
• No Sync Log: Confirm the Google Sheet credential and names: MOBLE-SEO-Sync-Log / Sync Log.
• Validation errors: Ensure Page Name is filled for page SEO rows, or File URL is filled for file SEO rows; Page URL may be left blank to auto-generate.

SECURITY: Restrict n8n access to trusted staff. Rotate API keys quarterly.
