How to Set Up n8n for Free on Heroku

Automation is a topic that really interests me. I've been exploring different platforms like Zapier and Integromat, but recently I discovered n8n. What caught my attention was the fact that anyone can quickly set up their own instance of the software and start automating their daily tasks. If you're looking for something similar, I'll guide you through the steps to set up your own instance with just a click of a button.

Before we begin, there are a few things you'll need:

• A Heroku account. If you don't have one, you can easily register by clicking here.
• A GitHub repository to deploy the n8n instance on Heroku. To simplify the process, you can use the 1-click deploy button below.
• And of course, a cup of coffee to keep you fueled while you build automations and free up your time.

Once you have your Heroku account set up, click on the deploy link to start the installation process. This will take you to a setup screen where you can configure a name for your app. Choose something simple, as this name will act as a domain name to access your app later. For example, you can name it "n8nheroku".

Remember, n8n also offers a cloud-hosted version if you prefer to skip the setup process. But if you're up for it, follow along and let's get started!

Introducing our new and improved deployment process on the amazing platform, Heroku! But hold on, we need to configure a few variables first.

Let's start by setting up a username and password, ensuring it's a robust one. Remember, strong passwords are like superheroes for your app's security!

Once you've tackled the username and password, it's time to deploy the app. Just click that magical "Deploy app" button and watch the installation process unfold. It may take a couple of minutes, so grab a cup of coffee and relax.

Once the installation is complete, you'll see the text "Deploy to Heroku" turn green with a checkmark. This means your deployment is ready for action! But wait, there's more to do before we dive in.

Head over to the "Manage App" screen and click on "Settings." Scroll down until you find "Config Vars" and click on "Reveal Config Vars." Now, let's insert those two highlighted variables from the screenshot below. These variables consist of your app name, which you chose during the initial setup, followed by ".herokuapp.com".

Completing step number four ensures a smooth and seamless experience for you. We wouldn't want any bumps on your app's journey, right?

So, what are you waiting for? Get ready to unleash the power of your newly deployed app on Heroku! Just make sure you've completed all the necessary configuration changes for a stress-free experience.

Remember, superheroes don't forget to optimize their content for SEO. So, add those tags, optimize your text, and get ready to conquer the internet with your amazing app!

And now, it's time to soar high and make your app shine brighter than the sun! Happy deploying! Ensure that your automations can communicate with webhooks that require external triggers. This was the final step in the setup process, and now we're all set to automate those mundane tasks with n8n. Just go to the top of the page and click on 'Open App'. Enter the username and password you set up during configuration, and you'll be greeted with a similar screen below:
