to help you master app integrations using different types of nodes to improve
your automation workflows.
contentType: overview
Integrations
n8n calls integrations nodes.
Nodes are the building blocks of workflows in n8n. They're an entry point for retrieving data, a function to process data, or an exit for sending data. The data process includes filtering, recomposing, and changing data. There can be one or several nodes for your API, service or app. You can connect multiple nodes, which allows you to create complex workflows.
Built-in nodes
n8n includes a collection of built-in integrations. Refer to Built-in nodes for documentation on all n8n's built-in nodes.
Community nodes
As well as using the built-in nodes, you can also install community-built nodes. Refer to Community nodes for more information.
Credential-only nodes and custom operations
--8<-- "_snippets/integrations/credential-only-intro.md"
Refer to Custom operations for more information.
Generic integrations
If you need to connect to a service where n8n doesn't have a node, or a credential-only node, you can still use the HTTP Request node. Refer to the node page for details on how to set up authentication and create your API call.
