n8n is expanding what’s possible for AI orchestration and automation in the enterprise. Today, we’re excited to announce a new integration with Microsoft Agent 365. Agents built on n8n will soon gain extended capabilities offered by Microsoft Agent 365 when developers include the Microsoft Agent 365 node in their workflows.
Expanding the Boundaries of Enterprise Automation
With this new integration, agents built on n8n can act within Microsoft environments such as Microsoft Word and Outlook using their own company-issued identity and permissions. Managed similarly to employee accounts, they can be provisioned to securely collaborate, assist, and perform actions within the Microsoft technology stack.
n8n agents can access a broad AI orchestration and automation layer that includes modular connections to LLMs, vector stores, and enterprise tools like Jira, PagerDuty, ServiceNow, and ElevenLabs, along with more than 1,200 built-in integrations and 6,000+ community workflow templates. Beyond these connections, agents can use advanced n8n capabilities such as invoking other agents as tools, launching sub-workflows, and combining reasoning, deterministic logic, and human steps to build intelligent systems with guardrails. Enterprises can further ensure reliability through built‑in evaluation and testing features, with error workflows that trigger automatically when something goes wrong. These capabilities help teams keep agentic workflows reliable, accountable, and scalable across environments.
“At n8n, we help teams put AI orchestration and automation to work reliably inside their businesses. Our platform connects agents to the business-critical tools and data they rely on, while enabling AI monitoring and human oversight. This integration with Microsoft Agent 365 allows developers using n8n capabilities to create agents that can be part of Microsoft agent management and identity ecosystem and collaborate more seamlessly with Microsoft offerings, where many enterprises already run their most important work.” — Jan Oberhauser, Founder and CEO of n8n
For n8n builders, the integration also opens doors into Microsoft’s enterprise ecosystem. Workflows can now reach end users directly in the tools they use every day, like Word and Outlook, enabling richer automations and agentic use cases that engage employees where work actually happens. This shift not only expands what builders can deliver but also reinforces Microsoft’s focus on giving organizations choice, security, and control in how they extend automation and AI across their business.
“We’re pleased to welcome n8n to the Microsoft Agent 365 ecosystem and collaborate to help customers innovate faster and stay secure, bringing agents into the same trusted environment as users with familiar infrastructure, apps, and protections.” — Nirav Shah, Corporate Vice President, Microsoft Agent 365
Where Agentic Workflows Meet Work
The impact of agentic automation is clearest in daily work. By connecting directly into Microsoft 365 applications, agents built with n8n and enabled with Microsoft Agent 365 engage employees where they already collaborate, communicate, and make decisions. Workflows surface in Outlook, SharePoint, and Teams to deliver updates, trigger actions, and coordinate tasks in context, reducing the manual effort of tracking information across systems and ensuring that the right people see the right information at the right time.
Consider an engineering manager who once spent hours tracking customer reported incidents, high‑priority bugs, and upcoming releases across multiple systems. Each day began with digging through tickets, gathering updates, and chasing the right people for context. The work kept projects moving but left little time for improvement or strategy.
Now she deploys an agent enabled with Microsoft Agent 365 built with n8n. Acting as a digital colleague, the agent has permission to access relevant Microsoft 365 applications and internal data to stay on top of priorities. Through its n8n‑powered workflow, the agent connects to Jira and PagerDuty, combining deterministic logic with agentic reasoning to generate daily summaries and highlight long-standing incidents. It can then post updates in Teams, and schedule follow-up meetings with ticket owners. What once took hours of manual coordination is now managed automatically with context, intelligence, and the right level of autonomy.
How It Works in n8n
At this time, agents built with n8n are capable of being provisioned with a Microsoft Agent 365 license using the Webhook Trigger and AI Agent nodes. This setup authenticates the agent within a Microsoft tenant and enables communication between Microsoft 365 services. Once configured, the agent can securely exchange information between Microsoft 365 and n8n workflows.
Soon, a dedicated Microsoft A365 Agent Trigger node will simplify this process, removing the need for manual setup and bringing a more streamlined experience directly inside n8n.
Unlocking Value Where Work Happens
This integration makes agents created with n8n’s source available, code‑extensible AI orchestration and automation platform capable of being provisioned with a Microsoft Agent 365 license, enabling them to act directly within the Microsoft tools enterprises rely on. The result is agentic automation that fits naturally into the flow of everyday work while giving organizations greater value from their AI agents with governance and visibility built in.
