What is n8n?
n8n is an open-source workflow automation platform that lets users connect apps and build automations using a visual node-based editor. It can be self-hosted or used as a cloud service.
How it works
n8n provides a drag-and-drop canvas where each node represents an action (e.g. fetch data from an API, transform JSON, send an email). Users connect nodes to build workflows that run on triggers or schedules. Because n8n is open-source and self-hostable, it appeals to teams that need full control over their data and infrastructure. It supports 400+ integrations and allows custom code nodes in JavaScript or Python for advanced logic. n8n is commonly used by automation agencies and freelancers building solutions for clients.
