Introduction

The workflow engine helps users connect with any app using an API and read/write with its data using little or no code.

Limitless Integrations

n8n calls integrations nodes. Nodes are the building blocks of workflows in n8n. They're an entry point for retrieving data, a function to process data, or an exit for sending data. The data process includes filtering, recomposing, and changing data. There can be one or several nodes for your API, service or app. You can connect multiple nodes, which allows you to create complex workflows.

Hosting

Allows the users to host the workflow engine on any platform using npm or Docker. Users can configure with environment variables for global use.

A separate module is available that enables the administrator to setup user authentication in a customized manner.

Low code

It is a low code editor where the user can create and manage the flow of actions using pre-built nodes and paths, and the user can insert a set of code to fill and complete the custom flow or the integration.

API

A custom programming interface can be built to make Rest API calls with the workflow engine. This way the user can authenticate the communication with external applications/sources and serve results in a paginated sets.
