Business process automation isn’t just a trend - it’s a real necessity for companies that want to scale without unnecessary costs. And if you’re looking for a powerful, flexible, and affordable tool to automate workflows, n8n is a name you’ve likely already heard.

What is n8n?​

n8n is an open-source low-code workflow automation platform that lets you create integrations between different services and automate tasks without deep technical knowledge.

Unlike proprietary solutions such as Zapier or Make, n8n offers:

  • full control over your infrastructure;

  • flexible business-logic configuration;

  • extensibility via custom nodes;

  • a free self-hosted model.

Thanks to its open-source (Fair Code) license and active community, n8n has quickly become the de facto standard among low-code automation tools.

  • Supports 400+ integrations and has a rapidly growing community.

  • Enables complex scenarios with conditional branches, loops, API requests, and variables.

  • Easy to launch on your own server or in the cloud.

  • Meets the demand for private, self-hosted solutions amid changing policies at major SaaS providers.

n8n is especially popular among developers, but non-technical specialists - from marketers to HR - are increasingly using it as a visual process editor.

What can you automate with n8n?​

Key n8n use cases:

  • CRM and email-service integrations (e.g., HubSpot + Mailchimp)

  • Data collection via API and writing to databases or Google Sheets

  • Event monitoring (webhooks, schedules, events from Notion, GitHub, Slack)

  • Notifications and alerts in Telegram, Discord, Slack

  • Working with AI: integrations with OpenAI, Hugging Face, Replicate, and more
