n8n Integration

Overview

n8n is a workflow automation platform that enables you to connect apps and automate workflows. With its visual, node-based interface, you can build complex automations without extensive coding knowledge. n8n supports both cloud-hosted and self-hosted deployments, giving you flexibility in how you manage your automation infrastructure.

The Cloudinary n8n integration allows you to connect Cloudinary's capabilities with over a thousand apps, data sources, services, and n8n's built-in AI features. Using Cloudinary as the central source of truth for media files within your organization enables efficient management of large volumes of media.

In your n8n workflows, you can use instances of the Cloudinary node to:

• Upload assets
• Update asset tags
• Update asset metadata
• Retrieve a cloud's tag list
• Fetch structured metadata definitions
