About this tool
n8n is a fair-code workflow automation platform — think Zapier, but self-hostable, code-friendly, and built for complex logic. With 400+ integrations and full JavaScript support inside nodes, it scales from simple lead routing to multi-step AI agents.
n8n is the automation layer behind every growth stack I've built in the last two years. The combination of self-hosting, code nodes, and native AI support means I can prototype an idea on Monday and have it running in production by Friday — without billing the client for 50 Zapier tasks per lead.

Self-hostable for full data ownership and unlimited executions
