How does automation with n8n work?
Connect your applications visually, without code
n8n offers a visual drag-and-drop editor with over 400 native integrations (Google, Meta, LinkedIn, HubSpot, Slack, ERPs). Connect applications through nodes and define logic visually.
Add artificial intelligence and custom logic
Integrate AI models (OpenAI GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, Llama) directly into the workflow. Add logic in native JavaScript for complex scenarios — without the limitations of Power Fx expressions.
Automate, monitor, and scale
Workflows run automatically (schedule, webhook, trigger). Monitor executions in real time, identify errors, and scale from 1 to hundreds of automations.
What processes can you automate with n8n?
n8n is ideal for fast automations with native AI integration and extensive connectivity to marketing, finance, and operations platforms.
Automatic Social Media post generation
Monitor Google Trends and RSS, generate text with AI, create images with DALL-E, adapt the format per platform, and schedule automatic publishing on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok.

Ask an expert
Selection criteria: when is n8n the right solution?
The process requires integrations with non-Microsoft platforms — social media, marketing tools, external applications without native connectors in Microsoft 365
You need native AI in the workflow — text generation, document analysis, classification — without additional costs for AI Builder licenses
You want full data control with the self-hosted option on your own server, GDPR-compliant — you know exactly where your data resides
Your team needs custom JavaScript logic or REST/GraphQL connectors for any external API, without the limitations of Power Fx
The automation budget is limited — n8n is free in the self-hosted version, with no per-user cost like Power Automate
The volume of workflows is growing rapidly and you need scalability, real-time execution monitoring, and quick error identification
Frequently asked questions
What is n8n?
n8n is an open-source workflow automation platform that connects applications, data, and AI models in a visual editor. It can be installed on your own server (self-hosted) or used in the cloud.
Does n8n replace Power Automate?
No. n8n and Power Automate complement each other. Power Automate remains ideal for the Microsoft 365 ecosystem (SharePoint, Teams, Outlook). n8n excels at integrating with non-Microsoft platforms, social media, and AI.
How much does n8n cost?
n8n is free when self-hosted (you only pay for hosting). Cloud plans start at $20/month for unlimited workflows. There is no per-user cost like Power Automate.
Where does my data reside?
With the self-hosted option, data stays on your server — full control, GDPR compliant. With the cloud option, n8n stores data in the EU or US, at your choice.
Is n8n suitable for any process?
n8n is ideal for automations with multi-platform integration, AI, and social media. For repetitive processes in the Microsoft ecosystem, Power Automate remains more suitable. For complex enterprise processes with high volumes, UiPath RPA is the optimal solution.
Can I combine n8n with Power Automate or UiPath RPA?
Yes, this is our frequent approach. Power Automate orchestrates processes within the Microsoft 365 ecosystem, UiPath RPA automates legacy applications without APIs, and n8n connects external platforms, AI, and marketing channels — each tool where it excels.
