Overview
At its core, n8n is a visual workflow automation tool where you connect nodes (apps, APIs, logic blocks) into pipelines. The Zite n8n integration acts like a structured database layer, letting you read, create, and update database records as part of multi-step automations. You can trigger workflows from database events, transform data, and sync it across other tools.How it works
