Question 1

How do I build a web app with Lovable and n8n without coding?

Accepted Answer

I use Lovable to generate the entire UI by prompting it in chat, then I connect the form submit button to an n8n webhook. n8n receives the data, runs the logic (like generating referral codes), and sends a response back to the Lovable app. That combo lets you build real apps fast without writing a single line of code.

Question 2

What is the n8n webhook used for in this tutorial?

Accepted Answer

The webhook is how I receive data from the Lovable landing page inside n8n. When a user clicks “Join waitlist,” I send name, email, and their message to the webhook. From there, I can automate everything—store it, generate codes, and respond back to the app.

Question 3

How do you generate unique referral links in n8n?

Accepted Answer

After the webhook receives the user info, I create a unique referral code for that person in the workflow. That code becomes the end of the URL, so each user gets their own shareable link. Then I send that link back to the web app so they can copy it immediately.

Question 4

How does the referral tracking work when someone joins from my link?

Accepted Answer

If a new signup comes with an existing referral code, my workflow goes down the “true” branch. I first find the person who owns that referral code and increment their referral count, then I add the new user as a new row. I also store who they were “referred by” so the attribution stays clean.

Question 5

Where do you store the waitlist data in this setup?

Accepted Answer

In my example, I store everything in a Google Sheet as a simple database. I keep columns for name, email, message, referral code, referred by, and referral count. You can swap Google Sheets for any database you want later, but Sheets is perfect to start.

Question 6

Can I replace Viral Loops with n8n for referrals?

Accepted Answer

Yes—that’s literally why I built this. Viral Loops was going to cost me around $50/month minimum, and I didn’t want to pay that when I can build the same logic myself. With n8n + a simple front-end, you can own the whole referral system.

Question 7

Do I need paid plans to follow along with Lovable and n8n?

Accepted Answer

You can start easily: n8n gives you a 14-day free trial from my link, and Lovable gives you five free daily credits. That’s more than enough to build and test the full flow. Once it works, then you can decide how far you want to scale it.
