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.
