Build visually, go deep with code

n8n offers a visual canvas where you can design AI agents and workflows, with the ability to write JavaScript or Python anywhere in your workflow. You see inputs and outputs next to every step's settings, avoiding unnecessary clicks.

Create complex automations without being boxed in by purely visual or code-only tools.

Plug AI into your own data & over 500 integrations

Use pre-built nodes for common apps and custom API connections for everything else. Connect any model, handle multi-agent setups and RAG systems, and integrate with legacy systems while staying set up for the future with MCP support.

Connect AI to your existing tools and data sources with minimal friction.

Let people and logic guide AI decisions

Enforce structured inputs and outputs to control data flow to and from AI steps. Combine human-in-the-loop approvals with rule-based automation to contain AI actions, ensuring safe and controlled AI usage.

Maintain oversight and governance over AI actions in your workflows.

Runs where you decide

Protect your data by deploying on-prem. Deploy with Docker, access the entire source code on GitHub, or use the hosted version. This flexibility is ideal for organizations with strict compliance needs.

Keep full control over your data and infrastructure.

Security and governance built-in

n8n offers SSO SAML and LDAP, encrypted secret stores, version control, RBAC permissions, audit logs, log streaming to your SIEM, workflow history, real-time alerts, and usage dashboards.

Build, monitor, and scale agents without losing control or visibility.

Code when you need it, UI when you don't

Test AI workflows with real data to improve accuracy and catch errors before customers do. Re-run single steps, replay or mock data, and use the logs view to avoid endless debugging clicks. Evaluate AI natively to optimize performance.

Move fast with short feedback loops and break nothing.

• Visual builder with code flexibilityn8n offers a visual workflow editor that also supports JavaScript and Python code steps, letting you combine UI-based building with custom code in the same workflow.
• Self-hosting and data controlYou can deploy n8n on your own infrastructure using Docker, access the full source code on GitHub, and keep data on-prem. A hosted cloud version is also available.
• AI agent transparencyEvery step of your AI agent's reasoning is traceable on the canvas. You can inspect decisions, keep humans in the loop, and enforce structured inputs/outputs to control data flow.
• Enterprise-grade governancen8n provides SSO/SAML/LDAP, encrypted secret stores, version control, RBAC permissions, audit logs, log streaming to SIEM, workflow history, and real-time alerts.

• Pricing modelPricing is based on monthly workflow executions, not per step or per user. All plans include unlimited users and workflows. Starter is €20/mo (billed annually) for 2.5K executions; Pro is €50/mo for 10K; Business is €667/mo for 40K and self-hosted. Enterprise requires contacting sales.
• AI credits and featuresStarter includes 2,300 AI credits/month, Pro up to 13,700 AI credits/month. AI Assistant is in preview and not yet available in all plans. Enterprise does not include AI credits (N/A).
• Execution limits and retentionStarter saves up to 2.5K executions with 2.5 GB storage and 7 days of log retention. Pro saves 25K executions with 25 GB and 30 days. Business/Enterprise save 50K executions with 50 GB and 365 days (Enterprise).
• Community EditionA standard, self-hosted version of n8n is available on GitHub. It includes the core editor and all integrations, but does not include some enterprise features like SSO/SAML, audit logs, or extended retention.

IT Ops: On-board new employees

Use n8n to automate the employee onboarding process. Build visual workflows that connect to your HR systems, provisioning tools, and communication platforms. With over 500 integrations and custom API connections, you can streamline account creation, equipment requests, and welcome messages, all while keeping every step traceable on the canvas.

Sec Ops: Enrich security incident tickets

Enhance your security operations by automatically enriching incident tickets with contextual data. n8n lets you pull threat intelligence from multiple sources, run AI models to analyze the data, and update your ticketing system—all in a low-code workflow. As shown in the Vodafone case study, n8n provides SOAR capability and workflows in a low-code model, saving £2.2 million.

Dev Ops: Convert natural language into API calls

Bridge the gap between natural language and technical actions. With n8n, you can build AI agents that interpret user requests and automatically generate API calls to your systems. Use code steps in JavaScript or Python when you need custom logic, and keep human-in-the-loop approvals for critical actions.

Sales: Generate customer insights from reviews

Turn customer reviews into actionable insights. n8n allows you to connect to review platforms, run AI models to extract sentiment and key themes, and feed the results into your CRM or dashboards. With structured inputs and outputs, you can control the data flow and ensure accuracy, as highlighted by the Huel case study that saved 1,000 hours of manual work.
