We've followed this step by step guide, but noticed a problem afterwards using cron-triggered jobs. We started the webhook processors like described in this guide as "n8n workers", but instead we had to start it with "n8n webhook". This should be clearly stated in the docs, as it seems like a common pitfall. Maybe my brain-power was too low at that time, too 😅

Overview
This is the documentation of n8n, a free and open fair-code licensed node-based Workflow Automation Tool.
It covers everything from setup to usage and development. It is still a work in progress and all contributions are welcome.
What is n8n?
n8n (pronounced n-eight-n) helps you to interconnect every app with an API in the world with each other to share and manipulate its data without a single line of code. It is an easy to use, user-friendly and highly customizable service, which uses an intuitive user interface for you to design your unique workflows very fast. Hosted on your server and not based in the cloud, it keeps your sensible data very secure in your own trusted database.
