That's probably what it means. I used it around 2015.
At that time, it could sync wp to Twitter, Weibo, and Facebook.
I remember it was very simple to log in and connect the account.
It was free before. Now you need a pro membership, which costs $2.9 per month; for US dollars, $2.9 is just like a tax or a tip.
In China, you can get a year's special virtual space hosting for 99.

n8n has self-built services.
I registered on the free space serv00 before.
I also deployed it.

I have watched the tutorial several times. Still, I didn't understand it.

Post a post on wp to sync with Twitter and Mastodon.
I searched, asked AI, and got a rough idea. WordPress login, get all posts, then filter to keep the latest post, and then output json title and url. The idea became clear. I found I didn't understand how to operate it.
There is no direct template; I can only look at other templates.
There is a template for WordPress to Medium, which uses an HTTP request to capture HTML information. Then filter and output the desired information. What I want is the title and url, and then publish the information on Twitter and Mastodon.
For Twitter authorization, I still need to apply for developer mode. Fortunately, it's not difficult.
I couldn't find Mastodon on n8n, so I searched for tutorials on YouTube. They are detailed and careful; just follow along. After setting it up, I had to wait a few minutes. There seems to be a delay; I thought it failed, but later found out it succeeded.
I set up a scheduled trigger to execute once every day at 6:00 PM.
I tested the workflow countless times, and yesterday I saw it run automatically and succeed.
