How an n8n project runs

  1. 01

    Map what you automate today

    We list every existing automation: Zapier zaps, Make scenarios, spreadsheet macros, Apps Script and the manual steps people do from memory. You get a written plan of what moves to n8n, what stays inside your CRM and what is not worth automating.

  2. 02

    Build it like software

    Workflows are kept in version control, retry when a service fails, alert your Slack or Telegram when something breaks, and come with a short document your operations team can read. They run on n8n Cloud, a server you own, or a server we manage for you.

  3. 03

    Hand over and support

    Your team gets the workflows, the documentation and access to everything. We agree a support arrangement that suits you, from regular reviews to only being called when needed, and you can take it fully in-house at any point.

Check whether n8n is the right tool for you

The Automation Advisor asks about your team, your tools and the work you repeat, then suggests what to automate and which tools fit. Sometimes the answer is Zapier, Make or a feature you already pay for.

Frequently asked questions

  • Should we use n8n Cloud or host it ourselves?
    n8n Cloud is quickest to start and n8n maintains it. Self-hosting gives you control over where data lives and costs only the server, but someone has to keep it updated, backed up and monitored. If you have no one to do that, Cloud or a server we manage is usually the better choice.
  • When is n8n cheaper than Zapier or Make?
    Usually when workflows have many steps and run often, because n8n Cloud charges per workflow run while Zapier and Make charge per step. For a few simple automations, Zapier or Make can cost less and need no upkeep. We price your actual workflows on each option before recommending one.
  • Who owns the workflows?
    You do. Workflows are exported to a repository in your organisation's account, with documentation for each one: what triggers it, what it changes, how it retries and who gets alerted. If you take the work in-house, everything keeps running without us.
  • What happens when a workflow breaks?
    Failed steps retry automatically. Anything that still fails is set aside for review instead of being lost, and important workflows such as payments or customer messages alert your team immediately so you know before a customer does.
  • Can n8n connect to Tally, Sell.do or IndiaMART?
    Where a tool has an API, webhooks or a file export, n8n can usually work with it, and its code steps handle formats that ready-made connectors do not. We check each tool you use during the Consultation and tell you where a connection will be fragile.
