# Deploy and Host WAHA + n8n on Railway

**WAHA + n8n** lets you automate WhatsApp using powerful, visual workflows. Connect WhatsApp events to APIs, databases, CRMs, AI tools, and internal services without writing glue code. This template ships a fully integrated setup, ready to use in minutes.

## About Hosting WAHA + n8n

Hosting WAHA alongside n8n gives you a complete WhatsApp automation backend running in the cloud. WAHA handles WhatsApp session management and messaging, while n8n orchestrates workflows, logic, and integrations. This template automates the setup, installs the WAHA n8n node automatically, and exposes both services with minimal configuration. Ideal for production, CI environments, and rapid prototyping, with optional persistence via PostgreSQL.

## Common Use Cases

* WhatsApp chatbots and autoresponders
* CRM, support, and lead automation
* AI-driven WhatsApp assistants

## Dependencies for WAHA + n8n Hosting

* Docker-based runtime
* Node.js (bundled with n8n)

### Deployment Dependencies

* n8n Documentation: [https://docs.n8n.io/](https://docs.n8n.io/)

### Implementation Details (Optional)

This template installs the WAHA n8n node automatically at startup, ensuring users can immediately access WAHA nodes inside the n8n UI without manual npm commands or SSH access.
