What is n8n?
n8n is a “fair-code” workflow automation tool: you connect your apps with visual nodes and add JavaScript or Python whenever you need it. More than 400 integrations are available (Google Sheets, WooCommerce, Shopify, Gmail, Slack, Telegram, OpenAI, Claude…).
- A workflow
- A chain of steps started by an event. Example: an order lands in your store → n8n creates the invoice → the customer gets a WhatsApp confirmation.
- Self-hosted
- You install n8n on your own server instead of using an online service. You stay in control of data, versions and costs.
- An AI agent
- A workflow that uses a language model (OpenAI, Claude, Mistral, a local model…) to read a request, pick an action and reply on its own.
