About this project

n8n is a workflow automation platform that gives technical teams the flexibility of code with the speed of no-code. With 400+ integrations and native AI nodes, you can build automations and AI agents visually, then drop into JavaScript whenever you need custom logic. Self-host it for unlimited workflows with no per-task pricing.
