What is n8n?
n8n (pronounced as “n-eight-n”) is a powerful automation tool that helps connect different apps and services — just like Zapier or Integromat — but with more flexibility and no limits on the number of workflows or tasks.
It’s open-source, meaning you can host it yourself and customize it to fit your exact needs.
What Can You Do with n8n?
- Send Slack messages when you receive a new email
- Automatically upload files to Google Drive
- Create Trello cards from form submissions
- Post social media content at scheduled times
- Update databases from webhook data
- Connect with APIs or internal tools
Basically — if you can think it, you can build it!
How It Works
- Trigger – Something starts the workflow (like a new email, webhook, or schedule).
- Actions – n8n performs actions like sending data, calling APIs, updating apps, etc.
- Conditions/Logic – Add filters, split paths, or loop through data.
No coding is needed, but if you’re a developer, you can write custom functions using JavaScript.
Key Features
- Open-source and self-hostable
- Drag & drop workflow editor
- No limit on workflows or executions

Self-Hosted = Full Control
You can install n8n on your own server (like VPS, Docker, or Cloud), so your data stays with you. It’s perfect for businesses who care about privacy and flexibility.
