Vulnerability Scanning Workflows
Automate vulnerability scans, alerts, and reporting so issues don’t slip through. Route findings to the right team, track fixes, and keep clients updated with less busywork.
📊 About Vulnerability Scanning
How does Vulnerability Scanning automation work?
You set a trigger (a schedule, a new deployment, or a webhook), then the workflow runs a scan or pulls results from your scanning tool’s API. Next, it normalizes the output, filters noise (like known low-risk items), and routes what matters. For example, high-severity findings can go to Slack and email, while everything is logged to Google Sheets for tracking. You can also generate a client-ready summary with OpenAI and assign owners automatically.
Do I need technical skills to automate Vulnerability Scanning?
Not usually. Most Flowpast workflows are plug-and-play: connect your accounts, choose a scan schedule, and pick where alerts should go. If you want custom logic (like different rules per client or environment), a little comfort with APIs and webhooks helps, but you can still start simple and improve over time.
How much time can automation save for Vulnerability Scanning?
If you’re currently pulling scan reports, copying findings into a tracker, and chasing people for fixes, automation can cut that in half. The biggest wins come from auto-triage (only pinging the right person) and auto-reporting (no more manual summaries). For agencies, it also reduces back-and-forth with clients because updates are consistent and on schedule. Frankly, the time saved often shows up as fewer fire drills, not just fewer minutes on a task.
What do I need to get started with these workflows?
An n8n workspace and access to your scanning results, typically via an API, webhook, or emailed report. You’ll also want one destination for alerts (Slack or Gmail) and one place to track remediation (often Google Sheets). Start with a single site or client, run it for about 2 weeks, then tighten the rules to reduce noise. If you don’t have an API, you can still automate intake using email parsing or webhooks from your existing tools.
