n8n-nodes-5day

An n8n community node that integrates 5day.io with n8n workflows.

This node allows you to automate project management tasks such as creating projects, managing tasks and subtasks, posting comments, managing tags, and retrieving users directly inside your n8n automations.

5day.io is a minimalist project management tool that helps teams plan, track, and finish work without the noise.
