About n8n

n8n is a workflow automation tool that connects apps, services, and APIs through a visual node-based editor.

n8n lets developers and technical teams build automated workflows by linking together nodes that represent triggers, actions, and logic across hundreds of services. It can be self-hosted, giving teams full control over their data and infrastructure. It suits developers who want code-level flexibility alongside a visual interface.

Where to start

Start by running n8n via its CLI or Docker, then open the editor in your browser to build and trigger workflows. The node library covers common services, and custom logic can be added with JavaScript in Function nodes.
