Imagine a row of plug-in cards: an event starts the first card, each following card transforms data or calls a service, and the last card produces an action.
A triggering event starts a workflow.
A node performs one bounded transformation or service action.
An execution tracks the data and steps of one workflow run.
n8n links systems through visual nodes, transforms data between steps, and can run workflows self-hosted or as a service.
