n8n - Open source workflow automation tool

by
Raycast
•
With n8n everyone can have their own free node-based workflow automation tool.
n8n is self-hostable, so the data stays with you. It can be easily extended and so also used with in-house tools and allows to automate complex tasks.

Can I just use the code base and integrate with my project ? should I pay for integrating the entire thing into my existing project to give more functionality and can I also modify it?

@prabu_dass_rajendran Is hard to say without knowing the specifics. Best you write an email to license@n8n.io explaining what you want to do. I will then try to get back to you asap.

This looks awesome! Especially like that it supports postgresql as a node. Any plans to add MySQL as an option down the line?

@rick_m1 Thanks a lot! Yes is planned but nobody did request it until now so not really a priority. If it is important for you you can add the request here: https://community.n8n.io/c/featu... Other people can then upvote an I prioritize accordingly.

@rayliverified Thanks a lot! I do my best to get something up asap.

Marked as Open Source while being just source available due to the Commons Clause, so basically using OS as advertisement

@klh Yes, you are partly right. n8n is not "OSI approve open source". But do not want to start another discussion here. There was already enough on Hackernews and the Github issues. And instead of helping to resolve the issue did it only make it worse. So I do not believe it is in the interest of anybody. But I can tell you that I am currently talking with the OSI because of that to find a solution asap.
Maciej Sopyło
@janoberhauser Commons Clause is against the spirit of open source, so I doubt talking to OSI is going to change anything in that regard. Either go with open source and drop CC or go with source available (like Redis) and don't advertise as open source.

Hey! This looks fantastic @janoberhauser . I work with an NGO that relies a lot on no-code apps and zapier but would love to give this a spin. How easy would it be to host on firebase instead of a server?

@gorkamolero Thanks a lot! Another user asked the same question on Github. You can find it here: https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n/is...

@new_user_283fa02c5c Do not speak Chinese but if the Google translation "The product is very good" is correct, thank you!

@janoberhauser is it allowed to use it in commercial application?

@kish2011_ It is hard to say without knowing the specifics. You can find some information about the license here (https://docs.n8n.io/#/faq?id=lic...) and in the license description itself. If it does not help with answering your question it is best to write an email to license@n8n.io explaining what you want to do. I will then try to get back to you asap.

Well needed. Can’t wait to try it.

Is it possible to use this to trigger an action when a database table has an INSERT or UPDATE? For example, new user record inserted into User table then send welcome email.
Jan Oberhauser
Maker
@keith_fawcett1 No that is currently sadly not possible. But if the database has some kind of trigger on such events a node can be created to do that.

Do you think to create a log history? Where we can check what log worked?
Jan Oberhauser
Maker
@rodrigo_demetrio If you mean with log history a history of workflows which did get executed then yes. By default, all executions get saved even though it is possible to also deactivate that on a per workflow basis to not end up with millions of them. It is also possible to define an Error-Workflow to for example send an email or Slack-Notification if there was an issue.
