An open-source workflow automation tool used to connect data sources, APIs and sending platforms without writing a full application.

Connecting multiple tools in a stack without writing a custom application
Self-hosting for teams that want more control over where workflow data lives
Automating repetitive steps between enrichment, verification and sending
n8n is commonly used to wire together the individual tools in an outbound stack — pulling a list from one source, pushing it through enrichment, and handing it to a sending platform — without building a standalone application for each connection.
Much of what a workflow tool like n8n does, Clay already handles within its own enrichment and automation steps for us — so the two overlap, and we lean on Clay first for data-centric workflows.
Pricing changes frequently — check n8n's website for current plans; a self-hosted option is also available.
We don't have deep hands-on mileage with n8n specifically to offer a strong opinion — most of our own automation needs get handled inside Clay's workflows directly, which overlaps with what a general-purpose automation tool like n8n would otherwise do.
