n8n and Make workflows that run your operations without you
Most automation dies in month three. A node changes, a token expires, nobody notices, and the team quietly goes back to doing it by hand. We build workflows to survive that.
Why most automation quietly stops working
- A workflow fails at 2 AM, retries nothing, and nobody finds out until a client complains a week later.
- It was built by someone who has since left, in an account nobody else can log into.
- Per-task pricing makes the useful version too expensive, so it stays small and does not save real time.
- It handles the happy path beautifully and falls over the first time a field arrives empty.
A real one, building itself.
Not a diagram of an idea. This is the shape of a system we have actually shipped for this service, assembling and then running a job.
Six things, all of them yours.
Workflow design
We map the process on a call before building anything. Most of the value is deciding what should not be automated.
Self-hosted n8n
Running on your infrastructure or ours. No per-task billing, so workflow complexity costs nothing.
Error handling
Every branch has a failure path. Retries with backoff, dead-letter queue, and a human alert when it truly cannot proceed.
Monitoring + alerts
You find out a workflow broke from us, not from a client. Execution logs retained and searchable.
Documentation
A written map of what runs, when, and what to do when it stops. Your team is not locked out of their own system.
Handover or hosting
Take full ownership, or leave it with us on a maintenance retainer. Your data and workflows are exportable either way.
What we build this on.
Chosen per project, not per habit. If your team already runs something that works, we build on that instead.
Four steps, no surprises.
Numbers we actually see.
Typical ranges from our own builds, not industry averages. Yours will depend on your process.
Workflows, answered.
Should I self-host n8n or use n8n Cloud?
Self-host if you run meaningful volume or handle data you would rather not send through a third party. n8n bills cloud by execution, and self-hosted removes that cost entirely, though you take on running the server. For most clients we self-host on a small VPS and manage it, which costs less than the cloud tier within a few months.
What happens when a workflow breaks?
Every workflow we ship has an error branch. Transient failures retry with backoff, permanent ones land in a dead-letter queue and raise an alert to us and to you. If we host it, fixing upstream API changes is included rather than billed as a new project.
Can you take over automation someone else built?
Yes, and it is a common request. We audit what exists, document it, fix the failure paths that are usually missing, and either migrate it to n8n or leave it where it is if that is genuinely the better call.
Do I need to know n8n to work with you?
No. You need to know your process. We handle the building, and the documentation we hand over is written for someone who has never opened n8n.
Find out what this is worth to you.
A 20-minute call where we map your process and tell you honestly what is worth automating first, and what is not worth touching.
What pairs with this.
Integrations
We connect your CRM, inbox, forms, billing and spreadsheets so data moves between them automatically, including tools with no native integration.
AI Agents
We build AI agents that triage, draft, qualify and act inside your real systems, with tool access, guardrails and a human handoff that actually works.
Bespoke Dev
Custom-coded automation for processes no-code tools cannot handle: heavy data volumes, complex branching logic, legacy systems and strict compliance rules.
