Hey n8n community! 
I’ve been working on a flexible and cost-effective real-time notification system that can be fully powered by n8n, enabling users to implement social proof, FOMO-driven marketing, and even internal custom alerts without relying on expensive third-party services.
Why build this?
Most Social Proof Marketing Tools are either expensive SaaS solutions or have limited free versions designed to push you into paid plans. They are often built specifically for e-commerce, making them inflexible for other use cases.
I wanted something that:
Doesn’t require a costly subscription
Works seamlessly with n8n for unlimited automation
Allows FULL customization of notifications and their triggers
Goes beyond just marketing—use it for internal alerts, business intelligence, and real-time tracking
How it Works
The system is composed of:
A lightweight JavaScript library served via CDN to display real-time notifications and connect to web socket
A WebSocket server in nodejs handling live notifications dynamically
n8n handling all event triggers and data flow
With n8n, you can send ANY type of notification, such as:
Live purchases & user actions – “John from Berlin just signed up!”
Limited-time promotions – “Only 3 spots left!”
Internal alerts – Notify your team about important events
Data-driven insights – Track form submissions, page views, support tickets, and more
How n8n is the Core of the System
n8n allows you to capture and process real-time data from any source and trigger notifications dynamically. Some example workflows:
Webhook Triggers – Capture user interactions and send instant updates
Database Monitoring – Track changes in records and trigger alerts
Email Parsing – Notify about incoming leads, urgent messages, or system issues
CRM/Support Ticket Updates – Notify when new issues arise or tickets get resolved
All of this without writing a single line of backend code—just send HTML through your flows in n8n!
