Workflow automation · n8n · AI workflow automation Stop copying data between five apps.

Workflow automation for small businesses in the US and Australia. We map the work your team repeats every day and hand it to n8n — with AI steps where they help and alerts when anything fails. You keep the results; the busywork goes away.

  • Runs on your server
  • Alerts if a step fails
  • Monthly time-saved report
Sound familiar?

Your team is the glue between your apps

  • “We type the same data into five apps.”

    A lead arrives by form, then gets re-typed into the CRM, the invoice tool and an email. Every hand-copy is a chance for a typo.

  • “Our Zapier bill keeps growing.”

    Per-task pricing punishes you for growing. The same flows can run on your own server for a fixed cost.

  • “Every Monday starts with building a report.”

    Someone exports, pastes and formats the same spreadsheet each week — and it's out of date by Wednesday.

How we see it

From one long Monday to flows that run themselves

Business process automation without the consulting theatre. We watch the work, draw it, automate it and keep it running.

  1. Step 01

    Listen

    We sit in on a normal day — screen recording or a call — and list every task where data moves from one app to another by hand.

  2. Step 02

    Map

    We draw the flow: trigger, steps, decisions, owners. You see exactly what will be automated before a single node exists.

  3. Step 03

    Build

    We build it in n8n on your own server or account, add AI steps for reading emails or scoring leads, and test with real data.

  4. Step 04

    Run

    Every failed step alerts us and you. Each month you get a short report: runs, errors fixed, hours saved.

Under the hood

Boring infrastructure, on purpose

Automations fail quietly unless someone is watching. Ours are built to be watched.

Self-hosted n8n

Runs on your server or cloud account with fixed hosting costs — no per-task pricing as you grow.

Retries & alerts

Every flow retries safely and alerts a human when it can't finish. Nothing fails silently.

Secrets in a vault

API keys live in a secrets store, not in the flows. Access is logged and easy to rotate.

Built on: n8n (208k★) · Activepieces (25k★) · Metabase (50k★) · Coolify (64k★) · Invoice Ninja (10k★)

How it sounds

What the first call sounds like

  1. Agency owner

    We live in Zapier and it's costing a fortune. Half the zaps break and nobody knows until a client complains.

  2. Ruhan

    Export your Zaps and send them over. We'll show you which ones can move to n8n as-is, which are broken today, and what the monthly cost becomes.

  3. Agency owner

    Do we have to switch everything at once?

  4. Ruhan

    No — we run both side by side, move flows one group at a time, and only switch Zapier off when the new ones have run clean for a week.

An example of a typical first call.

Questions

n8n and workflow automation, answered

What is workflow automation?
Workflow automation means software moves data and triggers steps between your apps instead of a person copying and pasting — for example, a new form entry becoming a CRM lead, an invoice and an email.
Is n8n a good Zapier alternative?
For most small businesses, yes. n8n does what Zapier does, can run on your own server, and doesn't charge per task — so costs stay flat as volume grows.
Can you add AI to our workflows?
Yes. AI workflow automation steps can read emails, extract fields from documents, classify requests or score leads — with a human check where it matters.
What happens when an app changes and a flow breaks?
The flow alerts us and you. On an ongoing plan we fix it, usually before anyone notices.
How much does workflow automation cost?
It depends on the number of apps and steps. After a free assessment you get a fixed price in writing.
