n8n is an open-source workflow automation platform designed for building customizable and scalable data workflows across cloud services, APIs, and internal systems.
Unlike no-code platforms that restrict logic flows, n8n offers low-code flexibility, enabling users to write JavaScript functions, use webhooks, and integrate RESTful APIs directly within visual workflows.
It supports over 300 native integrations, including tools like Slack, Notion, Airtable, GitHub, PostgreSQL, and AWS, with the ability to extend functionality through custom nodes and community-contributed plugins.
n8n allows self-hosting on private infrastructure, giving teams full control over data privacy, authentication tokens, and runtime behavior.
Its modular architecture, support for branching logic, conditional operations, and error handling make it suitable for complex enterprise-grade automations.
