Can I share something I built with n8n?
Yes, but only if you use the Workflow - Github Included flair and include the code through GitHub, a Gist, or n8n.io. Posts that mainly drive traffic to your product get removed.

Rule summary
- No Spam & No Clickbait: You are welcome to post often! Ask for help, share templates, and contribute to the community. But excessive posting, misleading titles, or repetitive content may be removed.
- No AI Slop: No AI Slop
- No Self-Promotion or Advertising: Do not promote your own tools, SaaS products, paid services, courses, or platforms. If you built something with n8n and want to share it, use the Workflow - Github Included flair and include the code. Posts that exist primarily to drive traffic to your product or service will be removed.
- No Business, Agency, or Client-Related Posts: This is a technical subreddit focused on building with n8n — not on how to monetize it. Posts about starting an agency, finding clients, pricing your services, business models, or "how do I sell automation" are off-topic. We encourage users interested in the business side to head over to subreddits dedicated to entrepreneurship, freelancing, or consulting.
- No Links to Paid Workflows, Paid Communities, or Signup-Required Content: This includes but is not limited to Gumroad, Skool, paid Discord servers, and communities that are free to join but require a signup. No "DM me for workflow," no "comment here for the link," no email signups for templates. If you're sharing a workflow, share it publicly using an approved method.
- Recruiting and Hiring: You must share your Company Name and Website. If you do not have a company or website, you must include your LinkedIn profile. If there is a reason you can't do this publicly, message the mods for approval. A project description is required — low effort on this piece could lead to removal of the post.
- All Workflow and Video Posts Must Include the Code: If you're sharing a workflow — whether as a post, screenshot, or video — the code must be included directly in the Reddit post. Acceptable ways to share: Github Repository Github Gist n8n.io/workflows/ Sharing the code any other way is not allowed. Posts without a link to the code will be automatically removed. Screenshots alone do not count.
- No Google Drive or Google Docs Links: Google links frequently become inaccessible or require permissions that make them unreliable for the community. Use one of the approved sharing methods listed in Rule 6 instead.
- Use the Correct Post Flair: All posts must use the appropriate flair. Posts that use the wrong flair to sidestep rules (e.g., posting a workflow under Meta/News to avoid code-sharing requirements) will be removed.
- Low Quality or Off Topic: Low quality and off-topic posts are subject to removal at moderator discretion.
- Keep it civil: Be respectful. No personal attacks, harassment, or hostile behavior.
Works well
- A workflow you built with n8n, posted under the Workflow - Github Included flair with the full code linked from GitHub, a Gist, or n8n.io.
- A detailed help post describing a specific technical problem you hit while building a workflow, with what you already tried.
- A template shared publicly with the code included, so anyone can import and use it without signing up for anything.
- A video walkthrough of a workflow, posted with the code in the Reddit post itself and the correct flair.
- A genuine answer to someone else's technical question, showing you know the tool without pitching anything.
- A hiring post that names your company, links your website, and describes the project in real detail.
Avoid
- Posting a workflow screenshot or video without a link to the code, which gets removed automatically.
- Sharing a workflow through a Google Drive or Google Docs link instead of GitHub, Gist, or n8n.io.
- Writing a post that exists mainly to drive traffic to your own tool, SaaS product, or course.
- Asking how to find clients, price your services, or start an automation agency, which is off-topic here.
- Using a misleading title or posting the same content repeatedly, which counts as spam or clickbait.
- Publishing AI-generated filler content, since AI slop is banned outright.
What r/n8n Is For
This is a community for people who build with n8n, a workflow automation tool that you can self-host and extend with your own functions, logic, and apps. The description highlights its node-based approach, which lets people connect anything to everything. The people posting here are builders, and the rules make the focus clear: this is a technical subreddit about building with n8n, not about making money from it. You are welcome to post often, ask for help, share templates, and contribute to the community, as long as what you share is technical and open.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
Several rules decide whether a marketing-adjacent post survives here. “No Self-Promotion or Advertising” bans promoting your own tools, SaaS products, paid services, courses, or platforms, with one clear exception: if you built something with n8n, you can share it using the Workflow - Github Included flair and include the code. “All Workflow and Video Posts Must Include the Code” requires a GitHub repository, a GitHub Gist, or an n8n.io/workflows/ link directly in the post, and posts without code are removed automatically. “No Links to Paid Workflows, Paid Communities, or Signup-Required Content” bans Gumroad, Skool, paid Discords, email signups, and any comment-to-get-the-link scheme. “No Business, Agency, or Client-Related Posts” keeps monetization talk off the subreddit entirely. “No AI Slop” bans low-effort AI content outright. “No Google Drive or Google Docs Links” blocks Google links as a sharing method. “Use the Correct Post Flair” is mandatory, and using the wrong flair to dodge a rule gets the post removed. “No Spam & No Clickbait” allows frequent posting but removes misleading titles and repetitive content. Finally, “Recruiting and Hiring” requires a company name and website, or a LinkedIn profile, plus a real project description.
What To Post
The cleanest path for a founder is to share something you actually built with n8n, using the Workflow - Github Included flair, with the full code included in the post through a GitHub repository, a GitHub Gist, or n8n.io/workflows/. The code must be in the Reddit post itself, not behind a Google Drive link or a signup wall. Beyond sharing workflows, you can ask for help with a build, share templates publicly, and contribute answers to other people's technical questions. Write your own titles honestly and keep posts varied rather than repetitive. If you want to hire, follow “Recruiting and Hiring” exactly with your company name, website, and a real project description. Anything that reads like an ad for your product, a course, or a paid community will not survive.
What To Avoid
The fastest way to get removed is sharing a workflow without the code, since “All Workflow and Video Posts Must Include the Code” removes those posts automatically and screenshots alone do not count. Google Drive and Google Docs links are banned as unreliable. Self-promotion of your own tools, SaaS products, paid services, courses, or platforms is banned, and posts that exist mainly to drive traffic to your product get removed. Business, agency, and client-related posts are off-topic, including finding clients, pricing services, and business models. Paid workflows, paid communities, and signup-required content are banned, including Gumroad, Skool, paid Discords, and communities that are free but require signup, and there is no DM-me-for-the-workflow trick allowed. AI slop is banned. Wrong flair gets posts removed, especially when used to sidestep rules. Misleading titles, repetitive content, and excessive posting count as spam or clickbait. Recruiting posts without a company name and website, or a LinkedIn profile, plus a real project description, can be removed. Low quality and off-topic posts are removed at moderator discretion, and personal attacks or hostile behavior break the civility rule.

Common questions about r/n8n
Can I link to a paid template or a community that requires signup?
No. The rules ban paid workflows, paid communities, and signup-required content, including Gumroad, Skool, paid Discords, and email signups for templates.
Can I ask about pricing my automation services?
No. Business, agency, and client-related posts are off-topic, and the rules point people toward subreddits dedicated to entrepreneurship, freelancing, or consulting.
Can I post often and ask for help?
Yes, the rules explicitly welcome people to ask for help, share templates, and contribute, as long as posts are not excessive, repetitive, or misleading.
What do I need before posting a hiring or recruiting post?
You must share your company name and website, or a LinkedIn profile if you have no company, plus a real project description. If you cannot do this publicly, message the mods first.
