n8n

n8n is an open-source workflow automation tool: In the visual builder, you can connect hundreds of services – email, databases, CRM, accounting, AI models – and automate recurring processes without any coding; where necessary, code nodes can be used to add your own logic. Unlike Zapier or Make, n8n does not charge per task executed: you can run as many workflows as you like on your own instance for a flat rate. With Managed n8n Hosting, you get this freedom as a managed service, without having to worry about servers, updates or availability.

Who is n8n suitable for?

n8n is worthwhile for any SME where data is regularly copied manually between systems: fiduciary firms that automatically transfer documents from their inbox to their case management or accounting systems; agencies that import leads from web forms into their CRM and project planning systems; or medical practices and law firms that automate appointment confirmations and reminders. n8n is also a handy tool for clubs and associations that need to keep member data synchronised across their website, newsletter tool and spreadsheets. Because the workflows run on your own instance, customer and business data do not pass through a US-based automation cloud.
