How to set up no-code automations in Pachca with the n8n platform
The Pachca node for n8n: installation, operations and workflow examples
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 build integrations with different services without any programming knowledge or code. Instead, you use 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 message from a bot, a button click, a project status update and so on.
- An action node is what happens after the trigger. This is the logic of your workflow itself, like 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.
How to install n8n, set up the official Pachca extension and the full list of available operations are covered in the n8n guide on the developer portal. It's always up to date and gets updated along with the extension.
