WF-04-timeline-engine is an n8n automation template for building a timeline engine on top of Supabase, part of the zero-cost-ops repository. Reach for it when you need to chronologically order incoming events and persist their history without manual work, when you're tired of manually bucketing data into time slices, or when you want a full data pipeline running on free-tier tools. Trigger: webhook — an external system posts a request and the workflow receives, processes, and writes records to Supabase with timeline metadata. Integrations: Supabase. The template is deployed as an importable JSON workflow into any n8n instance, self-hosted or cloud. Direction — ingesting and chronologically storing events, not extracting or aggregating them analytically; for the ingestion side of the same pipeline, use WF-01. Works well for teams already on Supabase who want to add a timeline layer with no new infrastructure; not the right fit if you need a scheduled trigger or a storage backend other than Supabase.
