n8n Workflow Hub: Start Here
This page is the canonical start for n8n content here. Prefer these links over hunting through every node article.
n8n is orchestration: reliable movement between systems. It is not an agent framework and not a Company OS. Layering: Company OS vs agent framework vs orchestration.
1. Choose and situate the tool
2. Architecture patterns (read before more nodes)
3. Core nodes (when you need a specific pattern)
| Need | Guide |
|---|---|
| HTTP / APIs | HTTP Request |
| Inbound events | Webhook |
| Branching | IF |
| Batches | Split in Batches |
| Merge paths | Merge modes |
Duplicate Swedish node notes for the same topics redirect here or to the English guide above. Full public list: /topics/workflow-automation.
4. Where n8n sits in agentic stacks
In production I use n8n under agents — triggers, retries, handoffs — while MCP gateways and approval policy sit elsewhere. See What is agentic engineering? and MCP gateway lessons.
I am not planning a stream of new thin node posts. If a pattern is missing, contact with the use case. Hire / discovery: /hire.
