Hey everyone!
I built [Customermates](https://customermates.com), an open-source CRM for small B2B teams, and just published a community node so you can connect it to your n8n workflows natively.
What Customermates is
Self-hostable CRM (Docker Compose) with contacts, organizations, deals, services, tasks, and customizable pipelines. Think Pipedrive-level features, but open source (AGPL-3.0) and free to self-host
It also has an MCP server with 67 tools, so AI agents can read and write your CRM data directly.
What the n8n node does
Triggers (15 webhook events):
- contact.created / updated / deleted
- organization.created / updated / deleted
- deal.created / updated / deleted
- service.created / updated / deleted
- task.created / updated / deleted
Actions: Full CRUD for all 5 entity types, plus batch operations and entity linking.
Workflow ideas
-
Lead capture: Form submission → create contact + deal in pipeline
-
Deal stage notifications: deal.updated trigger → IF stage = “Won” → Slack/Email
-
Scheduled sync: Cron → fetch all deals → update Google Sheet
-
Auto follow-up: Cron → filter deals where last_contacted > 7 days → send reminder email
-
Enrichment: contact.created → Clearbit/Apollo lookup → update contact fields
Install
Settings → Community Nodes → Install → `@customermates/n8n-nodes-crm`
