Installation
Summary

Design and deploy automation workflows, custom nodes, and integrations on the n8n platform.

  • Supports 500+ native integrations across APIs, databases, cloud services, and communication tools, plus custom nodes in TypeScript for organization-specific logic
  • Includes core node types for data manipulation (Code, Set, If, Switch, Merge), triggers (Webhook, Schedule, Manual, Error), and AI operations (LangChain agents, vector stores, document loaders)
  • Offers multiple execution models: manual, webhook, schedule, event-based, and error-triggered workflows with modular sub-workflow patterns
  • Provides Code node execution in JavaScript and Python for inline transformations, API calls, and data processing without building custom nodes
  • Covers self-hosted and cloud deployment options with queue mode scaling, database configuration (SQLite/PostgreSQL/MySQL), and monitoring strategies for high-volume automation
