n8n is an open-source, self-hostable workflow automation platform. It offers a visual editor similar to Make but can run entirely on your own infrastructure, making it ideal for teams with strict data privacy requirements or those who want full control over their automation stack.
For privacy-conscious organizations, n8n's self-hosted option means Cursive visitor data never leaves your infrastructure during processing. You get the power of automated workflows with complete control over where your data flows and is stored.
When a visitor is identified by Cursive, here is exactly how that data maps into n8n. No manual entry, no copy-pasting between tabs—just clean, structured records ready for your team to act on.
| Cursive Field | n8n Field | What Happens |
|---|---|---|
| webhook payload | Webhook node output | n8n's Webhook node receives the full Cursive visitor payload for workflow processing |
| Node input (any integration) | Route visitor email through n8n's 400+ integration nodes | |
| company_name | Node input (any integration) | Pass company data through Function nodes for custom transformation before sending to downstream tools |
| All fields | Function node | Write custom JavaScript in Function nodes to transform Cursive data in any way needed |
