In business automation
n8n lets you connect services through nodes and add conditions, data processing, and code when needed. Choosing between cloud and self-hosting affects who is responsible for updates, availability, and backups.
Examples
These examples illustrate a possible workflow. Adapt the connections and rules to your own systems.
Business process example
A workflow retrieves inquiries from a system without a ready-made connector using HTTP, normalizes the fields, and updates the CRM. A sample run checks an existing customer, a new customer, and an invalid response from the interface.
