Supercharged automated workflows, no code required đŸ”„

If you’ve ever wanted to streamline your deployments or external integrations—without writing extra code—this tutorial is for you.

We walk through how to connect n8n, an open-source automation tool, with Upsun’s Git-based deployment flow. The result: event-driven automation triggered by deploy hooks or webhooks, with zero new backend code to maintain.

In this step-by-step guide, you'll learn how to:

  • Use Upsun's deploy hook to trigger an n8n workflow
  • Chain actions like Slack alerts, Airtable updates, or API calls
  • Test your setup in isolated, production-like environments
  • Build resilient, modular workflows without extra infra overhead

Designed for developers who want to automate real tasks—without bolting on yet another layer of complexity.

Whether you're automating team notifications, integrating CI tools, or syncing services across your stack, this approach scales with you. No guesswork, no buzzwords. Just useful automation you can deploy today.

Explore the full tutorial on automating workflows with n8n and Upsun.
