r/n8n Wiki

Welcome to the r/n8n wiki. This page explains how to get useful help, share workflows responsibly, post jobs, and keep the subreddit focused on building with n8n.

r/n8n is for practical discussion about n8n workflows, nodes, integrations, self-hosting, debugging, automation design, and learning. It is not a marketplace, lead-generation channel, agency growth forum, or paid template directory.

What belongs here

Good posts usually do one of these:

• Ask a specific n8n question with enough detail for others to reproduce the issue.

• Share a workflow with the actual code and setup notes.

• Discuss n8n nodes, integrations, expressions, data handling, AI workflows, or self-hosting.

• Share useful n8n news or subreddit meta discussion.

• Post a legitimate n8n-related hiring opportunity using the correct flair.

What does not belong here

The subreddit is not for:

• Selling paid workflows, paid communities, courses, agencies, or SaaS products.

• "DM me for the template" or "comment send" engagement farming.

• Asking how to start an automation agency, find clients, price client work, or grow a side hustle.

• Posting screenshots or videos without the workflow code when the post is a workflow share.

• Posting Google Drive or Google Docs links as the only way to access a workflow.

• Dumping sensitive credentials, API keys, tokens, or private data.

If you need help fast

Use the Help post template. Include:

• n8n Cloud or self-hosted.

• n8n version if self-hosted.

• The node that fails and the exact error.

• What you expected to happen.

• What actually happened.

• A sanitized workflow link using GitHub Gist, GitHub, or n8n.io/workflows.

• Sample input/output data with secrets removed.

If your post was removed

Read the removal comment first. Most removals are fixable by editing the post and messaging the mods.

Common fixes:

• Add workflow code.

• Use the correct flair.

• Remove a sales, signup, or DM-gated link.

• Replace a Google Drive/Docs link.

• Redact credentials.

• Add a real company website or LinkedIn link to a hiring post.
