# n8n

## Overview

Coresignal's n8n node is a pre-built connector that brings Coresignal's B2B data directly into your n8n automation workflows. Whether you're enriching CRM records, building lead pipelines, or monitoring job market signals, the integration lets you automate data flows that would otherwise require custom API development and ongoing maintenance. Through a simple drag-and-drop interface, you can search, enrich, and sync data across your entire tool stack.

Once added to a workflow, the node provides access to:

* **Multi-source Company data** – firmographic records, headcount, funding, industry classifications, and more
* **Multi-source Employee data** – professional profiles, career histories, and contact-level attributes
* **Multi-source Jobs data** – active and historical job listings enriched with structured metadata
* **Employee Posts data** – employee information, posts content and activity signals 

## Why use the n8n integration

| Benefit                         | Detail                                                                                                                               |
| ------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Faster implementation**       | Build production-ready data pipelines and automations in minutes rather than weeks of custom coding                                  |
| **Lower costs**                 | Eliminate middleware fees, reduce engineering dependency, and replace expensive third-party automation tools                         |
| **Better coverage and scaling** | Continuously running workflows increase data coverage over time, and operations teams can build and iterate without engineering help |
| **Intelligent workflows**       | Build AI agents, multi-step business process automations, and data pipelines tailored to your business logic                         |
| **Multi-tool integration**      | Connect Coresignal with 400+ supported apps in a single workflow                                                                     |
