What is n8n and Why Should You Care?
n8n (pronounced "n-eight-n") is an open-source workflow automation tool that lets you connect different apps and services to automate repetitive tasks. Think of it as your digital assistant that works tirelessly in the background.
Unlike SaaS tools like Zapier (which charge per task), n8n can be self-hosted, giving you unlimited automations at zero per-task cost.
