What is n8n?
n8n is an open-source workflow automation platform. Think of it as a self-hostable alternative to Zapier or Make, but with a stronger focus on AI. You build workflows visually by connecting nodes: triggers, data transformations, API calls, and AI operations. It connects to 400+ services out of the box.
n8n recently added AI capabilities through dedicated nodes: AI Agent (autonomous agents that can use tools), OpenAI Chat (direct model calls), Text Classifier (categorize text), and more. These nodes accept custom API endpoints, which means you can point them at EUrouter instead of OpenAI directly.
This is useful for teams that build business automations involving AI. Customer support triage, document classification, content generation workflows: all of these can run through n8n with EUrouter handling the model calls in Europe. No code required.
Quick to integrate
A few lines of code is all it takes. Swap your base URL and you are routed through EUrouter.

Follow these steps to connect your application to EUrouter.
Create an OpenAI credential in n8n
In n8n, go to Credentials and create a new "OpenAI" credential. Enter your EUrouter API key and set the base URL to https://api.eurouter.ai/v1.
Use AI nodes with EUrouter
Add any AI node (AI Agent, OpenAI Chat, Text Classifier, etc.) to your workflow and select the EUrouter credential.
Run your workflow
Execute your workflow. All AI calls route through EUrouter for EU data residency and GDPR compliance.
Why use n8n with EUrouter
AI-powered automations in Europe
n8n's AI nodes let you add intelligence to any workflow: classify incoming emails, summarize documents, extract data from PDFs, or build full conversational agents. With EUrouter, all of those model calls stay in Europe. Your business data doesn't leave EU jurisdiction.
- AI Agent, OpenAI Chat, Text Classifier, and Summarizer nodes are all supported
- All model calls route through EUrouter's EU servers
- Works with both self-hosted n8n and n8n Cloud
- Business data processed in workflows stays within European jurisdiction
No-code AI with compliance
n8n's visual workflow builder makes AI accessible to people who don't write code. Marketing teams, operations staff, and customer support leads can build AI-powered workflows by dragging and dropping nodes. EUrouter handles the compliance layer at the infrastructure level, so they don't need to think about GDPR.
- Visual drag-and-drop workflow builder for AI tasks
- No coding or ML expertise required to use EU-hosted models
- GDPR compliance handled at the infrastructure level by EUrouter
- Useful for business teams that need AI but don't have dedicated developers
Multi-model workflows
A single n8n workflow might classify incoming requests with a fast, cheap model, then route the complex ones to GPT-4o for detailed responses. With EUrouter, you access all these models through one credential. Pick the right model for each step based on cost and capability.
- Use different models at different workflow steps based on the task
- Optimize costs by using cheaper models for high-volume classification steps
- One n8n credential (your EUrouter API key) covers every available model
- EUrouter's smart routing can also auto-select the best model per request
