Build complex workflows using code or drag-and-drop. Offers AI integration, self-hosting options, and connections to over 500 applications.
n8n is a Berlin-based open-source workflow automation platform that lets developers and technical teams build powerful automations without giving up code control. With 400+ integrations and support for custom JavaScript and Python nodes, it handles API orchestration, ETL pipelines, and AI agent workflows — all on your own infrastructure or via n8n Cloud.
Workflows are built visually on a drag-and-drop canvas, but every node accepts custom code for logic a UI alone can't express. Native AI nodes integrate with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, and local models via Ollama, enabling LLM-driven automation and RAG pipelines without leaving the workflow editor.
Key benefits:
- 400+ integrations across CRMs, databases, APIs, cloud services, and communication tools
- Code when needed — every node supports custom JavaScript or Python
- Self-hosted via Docker or npm for complete data sovereignty
- AI agent nodes for building LLM workflows with memory, tools, and branching
- Sub-workflows and error-handling branches for production-grade reliability
- Webhook triggers and cron scheduling for event-driven and time-based automation
- Fair-code licensed — source-visible, free to self-host, with cloud plans for teams
Headquartered in Berlin, Germany, n8n is fully GDPR-compliant. Self-hosted deployments keep all workflow data and credentials on your own infrastructure — nothing is sent to n8n's servers. The cloud version offers EU data residency. With 50,000+ GitHub stars, it is the most widely adopted self-hostable workflow automation tool in Europe.
Used by engineering teams at Shopify, Twilio, Walmart, and thousands of companies worldwide for internal tools, data pipelines, and automated customer workflows.
