Summary

Adds an Automation group to the sidebar for running Rendobar from automation platforms, and renames Integrations to Developer tools (SDK, CLI, MCP server).

Page URL Status
Overview /automation New hub: platform cards, template cards with real output, how waiting works
n8n /automation/n8n Moved from /n8n (redirect updated). Adds a hero, prerequisites and template cards, drops the stale three-link list
Activepieces /automation/activepieces New. Install via Install Piece, API key, Run a Media Job, waitpoint, Finished Job trigger, actions, troubleshooting
Templates /automation/templates New. The two portal-ready workflows (quote videos in any language, FFmpeg on n8n Cloud)
Any tool over HTTP /automation/http New. Submit with a callback, receive, re-read the job. Make and Zapier steps until native apps exist

Make and Zapier get their own pages only once their apps ship.

Visuals

  • Four 2400x900 heroes rendered by scripts/render-heroes.mjs in the Storage hero style, with real brand marks (Simple Icons for n8n, Make, Zapier, and Activepieces' own mark).
  • Template cards use real renders: Arabic, Thai and Japanese frames from the quote template's default fonts, and the FFmpeg template canvas cropped below its old title.
  • Activepieces screenshots and the waitpoint diagram reused from the launch post.

Checks

  • validate-frontmatter, validate-nav-and-redirects, check-plan-limits, check-webhooks-guide: pass
  • New scripts/check-template-links.mjs (added to CI): each template section heading must equal its title in the n8n-nodes-rendobar templates README, and each workflow JSON link must resolve. Passes against main.
  • UI labels verified against source: Activepieces translations (Install Piece, Package Type, NPM Registry), piece action names, Make and Zapier help pages (HTTP > Make a request, Webhooks > Custom webhook, Webhooks by Zapier Catch Hook and Custom Request).

Follow-ups after merge

  • Point apps/web/public/llms.txt and the two n8n changelog entries at /docs/automation/n8n (the redirect covers them until then).
  • Swap template JSON links for n8n.io template pages as n8n approves them.

Automation platforms get their own sidebar group instead of sitting among
developer tools. n8n moves to /automation/n8n with the old URL redirected.

- Overview hub with platform cards, template cards and how waiting works
- Activepieces page for the published piece: install, waitpoint, trigger
- Templates page for the two portal-ready n8n workflows
- Any tool over HTTP page, which covers Make and Zapier until apps exist
- Integrations group renamed Developer tools (SDK, CLI, MCP server)

Heroes come from scripts/render-heroes.mjs so they can be regenerated.
scripts/check-template-links.mjs fails CI when a template heading drifts
from the n8n templates README or a workflow link stops resolving.
