n8n
n8n is open-source and self-hostable — your data stays on your own infrastructure. Connect Cratio to 400+ apps with zero per-task costs. Code nodes let you write custom JavaScript or Python logic inside workflows.
What you can do
Open-source and self-hostable — your data stays on your infrastructure
Deploy n8n on your own VPS. No data leaves your servers, and there are no per-execution charges.
Zero per-task pricing — host on any VPS for a flat server cost
Run unlimited workflows and executions for the cost of a single VPS — typically $5–$10/month on Hetzner or DigitalOcean.
Code nodes for custom JavaScript or Python logic inside workflows
When no-code isn't enough, drop a Code node anywhere in your workflow. Transform data, call external APIs, or apply complex business logic.
Cloud version available if you prefer managed hosting
Don't want to manage a server? n8n's cloud version handles hosting and updates. Starts at $20/month.
How it works
Connect Cratio to n8n
Use a Cratio workflow to push events to n8n via webhook, or use n8n's HTTP Request node to push leads into Cratio.
Build your workflow in n8n
Connect trigger and action nodes visually. Add a Code node anywhere in the flow for custom transformation logic in JavaScript or Python.
Activate and it runs forever
Activate the workflow in n8n and it processes every trigger automatically — no monthly fees, no task limits on self-hosted.
