Build AI workflows with n8n

Use n8n AI nodes to connect language models, memory, and tools. Required credentials and provider integrations must be configured separately.

Connect services with n8n nodes

n8n offers integrations for services such as Telegram and Google Sheets. Available nodes and successful connections depend on the n8n version, credentials, network access, and each provider.

Conditional logic and JavaScript

Build workflows with conditions, loops, and custom JavaScript. Execution behavior depends on workflow design and the n8n environment.

Workflow security and public access

Review credential handling, network access, and any public domain or TLS settings required by your deployment. These controls depend on configuration.

n8n guide: automate workflows and connect services

Workflow automation can connect applications and reduce repetitive work. The Deplomo marketplace template runs n8n as a self-hosted application. Review the package limits, credentials, network access, and integrations your workflows require.

What is n8n, and how does it support workflow automation?

n8n is an open-source workflow automation platform. With a self-hosted deployment, you manage the n8n instance and its stored credentials. A workflow may still send data to external services that it connects to, so review each integration and its data handling.

For visual tools focused on building language-model workflows, explore flowise or open webui . For coding-agent tools, see AI coding agents in the Deplomo console.

Manual n8n setup and the marketplace template

A manual n8n setup may involve configuring a container, persistent storage, webhooks, networking, and TLS. Ongoing operation also includes updates, backups, and monitoring.

The Deplomo n8n template runs a single application container with a persistent 5 GB data volume and a generated public webhook URL. Review the selected package and webhook settings. Service creation is currently unavailable in the international sandbox.

Select a monthly EUR package that fits your workflow and execution needs within its CPU, memory, and storage limits. Review webhook and domain settings:
Check the generated public webhook URL and any available domain settings. Custom-domain and TLS behavior depends on platform configuration. Open n8n:

After deployment, use the service address shown in the console to sign in and create a workflow.

Examples of n8n workflow automation and AI use

AI-assisted customer support: A workflow can route incoming messages to an AI service to draft a response. Configure the external service and review generated content before sending it.
Publishing content across connected services: A workflow can publish updates to supported services and request AI-generated summaries when a model provider is configured.
Synchronizing orders: Connect a store to supported invoice or messaging services through their APIs and credentials. Availability and delivery depend on each provider.
Text and provider compatibility: Check text encoding, API support, and available languages for the nodes and services in your workflow. Do not assume an integration or language is supported without confirming it with the provider.
