What Amazon Seller is
Amazon Seller is a ecommerce tool. It stores records and events, and exposes an API. n8n talks to that API on your behalf.
What n8n is
n8n is a workflow platform. You wire nodes together to move data and trigger actions across Amazon Seller and everything else you use.
Your first workflow
Trigger on a Amazon Seller event → transform → write somewhere. That's automation. Really. That's it.
Where to go next
