n8n Starter — Visual Workflow Automation

Back to Build, Automate & Deploy ↗.

n8n connects apps through visual workflows. A trigger starts the work, and the following steps read data, apply rules and call the services you choose. It is useful when you need more control than a simple “when this happens, do that” automation.

For example, a form submission can be checked, saved to a database, assigned to the right person and followed by a useful message. AI can be one step in that process; it does not need to make every decision.

What this offer includes

n8n Cloud Starter for 1 year, activated with a coupon on your own account.

Current Starter includes 2,500 workflow executions per month, 5 concurrent executions, 1 shared project and unlimited users. An execution is a run of the workflow, not an individual node. Unlimited steps do not mean unlimited runs, memory or external API use.

The public plan currently lists 7 days of execution-log retention and 2.5 GB saved-execution storage. Keep important business records in a proper destination; do not treat temporary execution logs as your permanent database.

This is n8n’s hosted Cloud plan, not the managed n8n application in Hostinger 1-Year Bundle — Hosting, AI Automation & Email Marketing ↗. Their hosting, limits and activation arrangements differ.

Who it suits

Developers, technically comfortable founders, agencies and operations teams who want to connect APIs, process records and control failure handling. Start with a small workflow before attempting an autonomous system with many credentials.

A smarter way to use this: pause the workflow until a person approves

You can prepare work automatically without sending it automatically. The Wait node can pause an execution and resume it when an authenticated webhook is called.

  1. Build the preparation steps—for example, draft a customer response and save the proposed action with a unique record ID.
  2. Add a Wait node configured to resume on a webhook call. Use its runtime $execution.resumeUrl in the approval process for that same execution.
  3. Send the proposal to an authorised reviewer. Protect the approval endpoint with an appropriate authentication method; the Wait node supports Basic, Header and JWT authentication.
  4. On resumption, validate the reviewer’s decision and the current record state before performing the action. A webhook being called is not by itself proof of approval.
  5. Set a wait-time limit and a safe expiry path. A timeout should not silently approve an action. Test approval, rejection, duplicate calls and expiry with dummy data.

This is useful for a quote, a customer email or a change to an important record. It avoids building a loop that repeatedly asks whether someone has replied. Protect the resume URL like an action link, and do not use an unprotected email link whose automatic preview could trigger a write.

Usage and cost details

A workflow that actually executes every minute would run 43,200 times in 30 days. That is far above this offer’s monthly allowance, even if each run has only a few nodes. Use event-based triggers where appropriate and choose schedules based on how quickly the underlying information changes.

AI workflow-building credits are separate from the model/API usage of the workflows you run. Your connected AI provider, database, email service or other API can charge independently. Check both sets of limits before publishing a workflow.

Do not assume unused execution allowance carries forward or that exceeding it is free. Review the current Cloud usage and plan-change rules in your account.

First setup and common mistakes

Connect a test credential, process a sample record, and inspect the output after each step. Add error handling and a notification for failures. Give each external event a stable identity so a retry does not send a duplicate email or create another order.

Keep secrets in n8n’s credential system, not in publicly shared workflow examples. Review imported templates before running them; a useful-looking workflow can still call an external endpoint you did not intend to trust.

Activation, renewal and support

Use the one-year own-account Starter coupon on the intended Cloud account. Follow How 1-Year Coupon Activation Works ↗ for official checkout and any card requirement. Verify the execution allowance, covered period and renewal date.

Extra usage and external service bills are your responsibility. Warranty follows the confirmed offer and Warranty, Support & Refund Policy ↗.
