n8n nodes for 8kit Automation Tools
npm install n8n-nodes-8kitEssential n8n Node for Reliable Workflows



The n8n node that makes your workflows bulletproof
---
Part of the 8kitβ n8n integration framework. See 8kit.ioβ for full details.
---
The 8kit n8n node brings 8kit capabilities directly into your n8n workflows. Easily access the powerful capabilities of the 8kit suite directly from within n8n (Uniq, Lookup, Lock, App).
8kit is a comprehensive automation toolkit with three core components: an n8n node for workflow integration, a lightweight service for data synchronization, and an admin dashboard for management β making your automations faster, safer, and smarter.
Running into these frustrating automation challenges?
- Duplicate Processing β The same data gets processed multiple times across different runs
- ID Mapping Chaos β Customer #123 in one system becomes Customer #456 in another one - now what?
- Race Conditions β Multiple processes trying to update the same record simultaneously
- No Audit Trail β When something breaks, you have no idea what happened
Add the 8kit node to your n8n workflows and get:
β
Persistent storage β Your workflows remember everything between runs
β
Smart Deduplication β Built-in checks prevent duplicate processing
β
Cross-System ID Mapping β Seamlessly connect data between different platforms
β
Distributed Transactions β Prevent conflicts in multi-process environments
You need access to a running 8kit service before the node can do useful work. Configure your own instance by following the 8kit documentation.
1. Search for 8kit in the n8n sidebar
- Open your n8n instance
- Look for "8kit" in the node sidebar on the right
- If you can't find the 8kit node, see the step below.
!Install 8kit Node
2. Install via Community Nodes (if not found)
- Go to Settings β Community Nodes
- Click Install a community node
