Build custom automations with webhooks, API access, and self-hosted workflow control.
Connect n8n nowWhat this integration does
n8n is an open-source workflow automation tool that gives you full control over your data and logic. Frihet's n8n integration exposes webhooks and API endpoints that let you build any automation you can imagine — from sending Slack alerts on overdue invoices to syncing CRM data with external databases.
Because n8n is self-hosted, your financial data never passes through third-party servers. You design flows visually in n8n's editor, connect them to Frihet's API, and deploy them on your own infrastructure.
Use n8n to chain Frihet with hundreds of services: ERPs, CRMs, email tools, databases, or custom internal systems. The integration supports triggers (events in Frihet that start a flow) and actions (operations n8n performs in Frihet).

Use cases
Overdue invoice escalation
When an invoice passes its due date, n8n sends a Slack alert to the finance team, emails the client a reminder, and updates the CRM status.
Multi-system data sync
Sync Frihet customers with HubSpot, Airtable, or your own database. Keep all systems up to date without manual exports.
Custom approval workflows
When an expense exceeds a threshold, n8n routes it for approval via email or Slack before it's recorded in Frihet.
Automated monthly reports
On the first of each month, n8n pulls revenue and expense data from Frihet, generates a summary, and emails it to stakeholders.
