Welcome

This is the documentation for n8n, a fair-code licensed node-based workflow automation tool.

It covers everything from setup to usage and development. It is a work in progress and all contributions are welcome.

What is n8n?

n8n (pronounced n-eight-n) helps you to connect any app with an API with any other, and manipulate its data with little or no code. n8n is:

  • Customizable: highly flexible workflows and the option to build custom nodes.
  • Convenient: use our Desktop app or npm to try out n8n, and our Cloud hosting option if you want us to handle the infrastructure.
  • Privacy-focused: self-host n8n for maximum privacy and security.

Where to start

Jump right in to building workflows with the Quickstart guide, or see the hosting section to learn about the options to get started with n8n.
