About n8n
n8n is the open-source workflow automation tool that gives technical teams the power of Zapier and Make with the control of self-hosting. Run it on your own server for complete data privacy and no per-execution pricing. n8n's visual editor handles complex flows with custom code nodes where JavaScript can be written inline. Its 400+ native integrations cover most popular tools, and the community has built hundreds of additional nodes. For engineering teams that need automation without data leaving their infrastructure, n8n is the only viable option.
