Think of it as an open-source (and free) alternative to Zapier.

With n8n, you can drag and drop nodes to integrate everything from email and spreadsheets to databases, systems like ERP/CRM/TMS/WMS, and AI models.

You just need an API connectivity.

What can you do with n8n? 

Unlike many SaaS automation tools, n8n can be self-hosted for full control over your data.

  • Automate the processing of pick-up requests for your transport operations
  • Create a voice-controlled inventory cycle-counting tool accessible to operators via their smartphones.
  • Deploy an automated Supply Chain Control Tower that integrates with your WMS and TMS to monitor shipments.

Presentation of my GitHub repository with 30+ templates

These templates are JSON files that you can copy and paste into your instance.

About this collection

On my GitHub, you can find a curated collection of production-ready n8n workflows that I’ve developed across real projects in supply chain, sustainability, and business automation.

These workflows are organised into five categories, each addressing a specific domain of problems:

Each workflow includes a JSON file for n8n import and a detailed README with setup instructions.

Example of Repository for Language Learning

Many of them also include YouTube tutorial videos that demonstrate how they work.

⏰ Productivity for Professionals and Students

Routine tasks and personal productivity can be dramatically improved with automation.

This section features workflows that save time for busy professionals and students by automating tasks such as study aids, time tracking, and data monitoring.

✍️ Content Creation, Promotion and Marketing

Creating and promoting content can be highly time-consuming.

However, many tasks in this domain are ripe for automation.

In this section, you’ll find workflows that assist with content generation, social media promotion, SEO, and digital marketing tasks.

These workflows combine n8n with AI and various web services to help marketers, bloggers, and creators produce and distribute content more efficiently.

🌳 Automation for a More Sustainable World

For sustainability and ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) initiatives, data and timeliness are key.

These workflows demonstrate how automation and AI can support sustainability professionals and socially conscious businesses in achieving their goals.

🚛 Logistics & Supply Chain Automation

In this category, you’ll find a rich set of workflows tailored to logistics and supply chain management, reflecting my expertise as a supply chain engineer.

These include tools for inventory analysis, route optimisation, emissions calculations, order processing, and more.

Many of these workflows integrate external APIs (for mapping, carbon emissions, etc.) and AI (like GPT-4 for analysis or communication) to supercharge traditional supply chain tasks.

📺 n8n Tutorials Playlist

For each of these templates, there are tutorials to help you set up the workflow in your instance.

You can find in this playlist tutorials of many of these workflows.
