Tines | build APIs integration workflow

Why I Choose n8n? I’m building an all-in-one automation solution that integrates multiple third-party application into a cohensive system.First, it fetches real-time news through APIs, then processes this information using AI to analyze my preferences and behavior, delivering personalized recommendations. These insights are automatically organized and inserted into Notion at scheduled time. Finally the system shares key takeaways with my Slack community.

Background

❌ use any cloud instance / VPS server
❌ domain name
🆓 for whole project

Starting n8n

Docker setup

Since n8n cloud only have 14 days free trail, so I try to selfhost my project. There are two choices: npm or docker. Here’s I will use docker to build. That is based on your preference. For me, I fed up with node related package.
