Why use respond.io for n8n
Respond.io is built for mid-market B2C businesses with someone on the team who can build and maintain low-code workflows.
Using n8n means installing the respond.io node and managing an API key, and regenerating that key breaks every workflow that uses it until you update them. If no one can own that, Zapier’s ready-made templates are a simpler place to start.
- Self-host n8n to keep automation running on your own infrastructure
- Branch, loop and merge data across hundreds of apps in a single workflow
- Reuse one API key across every workflow in a workspace
- Enterprise-grade reliability with 99.999% uptime, ISO 27001, GDPR compliance and role-based access controls
FAQs about n8n integration
Do I need to install anything to use respond.io in n8n?
Yes, the respond.io node. On n8n Cloud, install it from the node marketplace. On self-hosted n8n, install @respond-io/n8n-nodes-respond-io as a community node.
What happens if I regenerate my n8n API key?
Every n8n workflow using the old key stops working until you update it with the new one. One key can be reused across all workflows in a workspace, so regenerate only when you need to.
Why didn’t my AI Agent reply after being assigned via n8n?
This is expected. Assigning an AI Agent through n8n doesn’t make it send a message. The AI Agent replies once the contact sends their next message.
Which respond.io plans include the n8n integration?
Every plan except Starter, including trials, can integrate n8n. You’ll need an Admin or Manager role in respond.io to generate the API key.
