Description

n8n.io is a workflow automation tool that allows you to connect different web applications and services together to automate tasks. Think of it as a way to make your various software tools talk to each other and perform actions automatically, without you having to do it manually each time.   Here's a breakdown of what it offers: - Visual Workflow Builder: You design your automations using a visual interface where you connect "nodes." Each node represents an application (like Google Sheets, Slack, Gmail, databases, etc.) or a function (like filtering data, making decisions, running code). You link these nodes together to create a sequence of steps, forming your workflow.   - Many Integrations: n8n supports hundreds of popular applications and services, allowing you to connect and automate a wide variety of processes across different platforms.   - Flexibility and Extensibility: While it's designed to be easy to use visually (often called "low-code"), n8n is also very powerful. You can add custom code (like JavaScript) within your workflows if needed, and you can even create your own custom nodes if an integration doesn't exist.   Deployment Options: - n8n Cloud: A paid, hosted service where n8n manages the infrastructure for you.   - Self-Hosted: Because n8n's core is source-available (you can view and modify the code), you can download and run it on your own servers or cloud infrastructure for free. This gives you full control over your data and setup.   In simple terms: n8n helps you link apps together (e.g., "When I receive a new email with an invoice attached in Gmail, automatically save the attachment to Google Drive and send a notification to my Slack channel"). It uses a visual drag-and-drop style editor, connects to many services, and can be used either via their paid cloud service or hosted by yourself for free. It's a powerful tool for automating repetitive tasks and streamlining processes.
