n8n: Workflow automation with visual and code interfaces
Node-based automation platform with JavaScript and Python scripting.
Learn more about n8n
n8n is a workflow automation platform built on Node.js that uses a node-based visual editor for constructing automation flows. The platform allows users to combine visual workflow construction with custom code execution, supporting both JavaScript and Python for scripting within workflows. It includes native integrations with external services and APIs, along with support for AI-based workflows using LangChain. Deployments can run self-hosted on various infrastructure or through the managed cloud offering, with data remaining under user control.
Sustainable Use License
Source code is visible and self-hosting is unrestricted, but commercial redistribution requires licensing. Provides transparency and deployment control without full open-source permissions or proprietary lock-in.
Hybrid Visual-Code Workflows
Node-based visual builder integrates inline JavaScript and Python execution within the same workflow. Switch between low-code construction and custom scripting without leaving the editor or managing separate codebases.
Extensible Integration Architecture
Includes 400+ pre-built integrations with support for custom node development and npm package imports in code nodes. Extend functionality beyond native integrations without forking or waiting for vendor support.
