WordPress + n8n

WordPress forms that submit to n8n workflows

Use WordPress for the page and FormNode for the workflow form: dynamic fields, approvals, and structured submissions into n8n.

Install the pluginWordPress overview
Direct answer

FormNode lets WordPress sites publish forms that submit to n8n workflows without turning WordPress into the workflow engine. WordPress renders the page, FormNode owns the form and submission, and n8n handles fulfillment.

Best fit

Use FormNode when WordPress is the page, not the workflow engine.

  • Quote requests that create CRM or PSA work
  • Customer intake forms
  • Project requests
  • Website forms that need live backend data
Workflow pattern
Build the hosted formCreate the workflow form in FormNode and configure dynamic fields or approvals.
Save the WordPress embedPaste the FormNode share URL into the WordPress plugin and save it as a reusable embed.
Place it on the pageUse the block or shortcode on the WordPress page, landing page, or template.
Send to n8nConfigure the FormNode submission webhook to call the n8n workflow that fulfills the request.
Payload

Structured data out, not just email notification.

The n8n workflow receives a structured FormNode payload instead of a generic contact-form email, so it can create tickets, update CRM records, notify teams, or kick off approvals.

Common questions

Can WordPress forms trigger n8n workflows?

Yes. With FormNode, the WordPress page embeds the form and FormNode sends the completed submission to an n8n webhook.

Does n8n need to run on the WordPress server?

No. WordPress only renders the page. FormNode and n8n can run separately, which keeps workflow execution out of the WordPress install.
