YakWP does not just chat with your visitors — it can send every conversation to n8n for automation. Here is how that works and what you can do with it.
What is n8n?
n8n is a workflow automation tool (like Zapier, but self-hosted and more powerful). You connect services together with visual workflows — no code needed.
How YakWP Connects to n8n
When enabled, YakWP forwards each conversation to your n8n webhook URL. The payload includes the visitor message, the AI response, any captured email, and metadata like the page URL and timestamp.
5 Things You Can Automate
- CRM sync — Add every lead to HubSpot, ConvertKit, or any CRM automatically
- Email follow-up — Send a personalized email to leads within minutes
- Slack notifications — Get notified in Slack when a lead asks about pricing
- Support tickets — Create a ticket in Zendesk or Freshdesk when someone needs human help
- Lead scoring — Tag leads by intent (pricing question = hot lead, general inquiry = warm)
How to Set It Up
- Install n8n (self-hosted or cloud)
- Create a webhook workflow in n8n
- Copy the webhook URL into YakWP settings (Settings → YakWP → n8n Webhook URL)
- Enable n8n integration in YakWP settings
- Build your workflow in n8n — add CRM nodes, email nodes, Slack nodes, etc.
Free vs Pro
n8n webhook integration is included in the free version of YakWP. You do not need Pro to use it. Pro adds white-label, conversation export, and custom CSS — but n8n integration works out of the box.
