Node (n8n)

In n8n, a node is a single step in a workflow that performs an action, trigger, or logic operation on the data passing through.

Analogy

Like one block in a flowchart that does a specific job.

Why it matters

Nodes are the building blocks you connect to design any n8n workflow, equivalent to Make modules.

In practice

An HTTP Request node that calls an external API mid-workflow.
