Automations in Pachca with n8n

What is n8n

n8n is an open-source workflow automation platform. You can host it on your own server or use the web version. It lets you connect different services without writing any code. Instead, you build workflows in a visual editor with nodes.

n8n currently has more than 400 built-in nodes for popular international and Russian services. There are two types of nodes:

• A trigger node starts your workflow. It's an event like a bot message, a button click or a project status change.
• An action node is what happens after the trigger. This is your workflow's actual logic: sending a message to a chat, creating a task in another app, adding a record to a database and so on.

n8n automatically runs each action when the trigger fires, in the order you set.

The n8n guide on the developer portal explains how to install n8n and set up the official Pachca extension, and lists every available operation. It's updated along with the extension, so it's always current.
