Many businesses today are investing in automation — but one tool alone often isn’t enough. Some platforms are great for process orchestration, others excel at quick integrations.
That’s where combining Camunda and n8n gives you the best of both worlds:
- Camunda provides enterprise-grade workflow orchestration (BPMN, SLAs, audit trails).
- n8n provides low-code integrations with 350+ prebuilt connectors.
Together, they let you design scalable, auditable business processes — while keeping integrations quick, flexible, and low-code.
