n8n

n8n is a workflow automation platform for building multi-step processes across different services and internal tools. It’s designed for technical specialists and teams that need flexible control over how automations run.

What you can do with n8n

• Build workflows in a visual editor for common automation tasks
• Add custom code when you need advanced logic or data handling
• Connect and sync data across hundreds of popular apps
• Run workflows in the cloud or self-host on your own server

Typical use cases

• Automating repetitive operational tasks and handoffs between tools
• Integrating services to move, transform, and validate data
• Creating more complex scenarios, including AI-driven steps, when needed

How it compares

n8n is often compared with Zapier, Make (ex-Integromat), and Pipedream. Compared to many alternatives, it offers deeper customization, the option to write your own code, and the ability to self-host. The trade-off is a steeper learning curve and more setup effort—especially for self-hosted deployments.
