WHAT IS N8N?

The open-source
automation platform

n8n is a powerful open-source workflow automation platform. Unlike Zapier or Make, n8n is self-hosted — your data stays inside your own infrastructure. That means GDPR-aligned operations, no monthly workflow license fees and room to scale.

With 400+ integrations, n8n connects your existing systems — CRM, ERP, email, databases and APIs — into visible, auditable automations that your team can adapt without rebuilding everything from scratch.
