Figranium and n8n:
what's the difference?
Figranium handles browser interactions; n8n connects and orchestrates apps and services. Use them together to bring browser tasks into an n8n workflow.

About the tools
About Figranium
Figranium is an open-source, self-hosted browser automation platform. Build browser actions in a visual block editor, then run saved tasks through the REST API or on a schedule. It also supports runtime variables, proxy configuration, and integrations with automation tools and AI clients.

n8n is a workflow automation platform for connecting apps and services with nodes, triggers, branching, and data transformations. The Figranium community node connects those workflows to browser tasks.
Explore n8n docs ↗Your browser automation, on your infrastructure.
Figranium is open source and self-hosted. Install it on a machine or server you control: the browser, workflow execution, and saved data run on that instance. Trigger tasks through its API or scheduler without moving the runtime to a managed platform.
You choose and pay for the infrastructure, and you are responsible for setup, updates, security, and maintenance. Data can still leave your instance when you configure external services or visit websites; optional anonymous telemetry can be disabled.
Explore deployment options ↗Different roles, stronger together.
Use Figranium to build and run reusable browser tasks such as navigating portals, filling forms, and extracting data. Use n8n to coordinate those tasks with other apps, triggers, and data transformations. You can also use both: the verified Figranium node lets n8n pass variables to a task and use its result downstream.

Is Figranium a competitor to n8n?
They complement each other. n8n connects and orchestrates services, while Figranium supplies reusable browser workflows for steps that need a browser.
How do I connect them?
Install the verified Figranium community node in n8n, configure the instance URL and API key, and add an Execute Task operation to your workflow.
Can n8n pass data to a Figranium task?
Yes. The node accepts runtime variables and returns the task response for use by subsequent n8n nodes.
