Your team keeps the drag-and-drop builder, even for the systems nobody else uses.
n8n connects to a lot of software, but it may not cover your internal system, legacy software or industry tool. Your team ends up rebuilding the same awkward connection in every workflow.
A node is a building block in n8n’s visual builder. We build custom ones that work like any other, so your proprietary systems, internal APIs and niche tools get the same drag-and-drop experience. Login handling lives in the node, and every workflow can reuse it.
Custom nodes for your proprietary systems and APIs
A natural fit inside n8n’s visual builder
Shared credentials and login handling
One node you can reuse across every workflow
We look at the system’s API and decide which operations, login method and outputs the node needs.
Authentication, request formatting and response parsing all go into the node, along with pagination where the API calls for it.
Before rollout, we test the node in real workflows with proper error handling and documentation.
We install the node in your n8n instance for all users, and we can publish it to n8n’s community if you’d like.
We’ve built n8n workflows for businesses at various stages, and we know the integration challenges that come with them. That helps us tell you when a custom node will pay off and when a simple HTTP request will do.
Use an HTTP request node for simple API calls. Choose a custom node when you need reusable authentication, multiple operations or structured outputs, or when several workflows connect to the same system.
Yes. We build custom nodes for internal APIs, legacy systems, industry-specific tools and any service with an API. The node handles authentication, request formatting and response parsing.
Simple nodes with a few operations take 1 to 2 weeks. Complex nodes with many endpoints, pagination and custom authentication typically take 2 to 4 weeks.
Yes. Once installed in your n8n instance, a custom node is available to all users and workflows. We can also publish it to n8n’s community if you want to share it more widely.
