What is a n8n?

n8n is an open-source workflow automation platform that connects apps and APIs with visual workflows. It can be self-hosted for data control and lower costs, and it includes AI nodes for building agents and LLM steps into automations.

Last reviewed · Dexorn Technologies

n8n is popular for business process automation because workflows can mix visual nodes with custom code, and self-hosting avoids per-task pricing.

It is often compared with Make and Zapier; the right choice depends on hosting, volume and who will maintain the workflows.

Examples

  • Lead routing between forms, CRM and WhatsApp
  • AI-drafted follow-up emails
  • Telegram-driven content publishing
