n8n

What this tool can do

n8n is an open-source automation platform that enables teams to build workflows, integrate tools, and orchestrate data processes with a flexible, node-based system. It supports simple automations as well as highly customized, multi-step logic that connects APIs, databases, and internal tools.

Typical Use Cases

Workflow Automation
Teams create automated sequences that trigger actions across applications, update records, send notifications, and execute conditional logic.

API and Data Integration
Data from APIs, webhooks, spreadsheets, and databases is collected, transformed, enriched, and routed to the appropriate systems.

Custom Logic and Branching
Advanced nodes allow branching paths, loops, error handling, and scheduled execution for complex business workflows.

Internal Tooling and Operations
Companies automate internal processes such as onboarding flows, reporting pipelines, or operational tasks that span multiple tools.

Data Pipelines
Information is processed in stages, using nodes for filtering, restructuring, mapping, and synchronizing data across systems.

Self-Hosted Deployments
n8n can be deployed on private servers or cloud environments, giving teams control over data handling and system customization.

n8n is suitable for organizations that need flexible automation, customizable integrations, and full control over workflows in an open and extensible system.
