Postgres Integration: Technical Overview
How n8n transforms database operations with seamless automation
Building Dynamic Database Workflows
n8n's Postgres integration provides a no-code interface to create powerful database automation workflows:
- Bidirectional Data Flow: Query data from Postgres and write back results from other systems
- Event-Based Triggers: Initiate workflows based on database changes or scheduled intervals
- Advanced Query Execution: Run complex SQL queries and process results automatically
- Seamless Authentication: Connect securely using standard database credentials
- Visual Workflow Builder: Design database integrations without writing code
The integration supports all standard Postgres operations—SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE—while providing the flexibility to transform data between operations with JavaScript code nodes when needed.
