# n8n

[**n8n**](https://n8n.io/) is an open-source workflow automation platform that lets you connect services, trigger actions, and build logic using a visual interface. \
You can use it to integrate MadKudu into custom workflows — like enriching leads, scoring accounts, or syncing insights across your stack, prepping meeting....

If you are new to n8n, find below in this article an example of workflow
