Social Perks + n8n Integration
Self-host your Social Perks automations with n8n — the open-source workflow engine trusted by privacy-conscious teams.
What this integration does
The Social Perks + n8n integration is the right choice when you need full control over where data flows. n8n is open-source and self-hostable, so submissions, customer data, and perk events never leave your infrastructure on the way to downstream systems. It is popular with enterprises in regulated industries and with technical founders who want automation without vendor lock-in.
We maintain a community n8n node that wraps every Social Perks API endpoint. Drop it into a workflow alongside HTTP request nodes, function nodes, and any of the 400+ pre-built n8n integrations to build automations that run on your own servers, in your own VPC.
