n8n automation

Shapes designs, builds, and runs AI workflows on n8n: set up properly in your account, connected to your tools, and documented so you are never dependent on us.

Why n8n

01

An open platform you can own.

We build on n8n because it gives clients control over their data, their costs, and their workflows, while still moving fast.

  • You own it

    Run n8n Cloud or self-host in your own account. Your workflows and data stay yours, with no lock-in to an agency.

  • Connects to anything

    Hundreds of built-in integrations, plus webhooks and HTTP requests for any system with an API.

  • Built for AI

    AI agents, vector stores, and models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or open-source, inside the same workflow.

  • Predictable cost

    Cloud plans count workflow runs rather than every step, and self-hosting avoids per-run fees altogether.

Cloud or self-hosted

02

Two ways to run n8n. Both stay yours.

We recommend one based on your data, volume, and team, then set it up in your account.

How we build

04

Engineering standards on every workflow.

What separates a workflow that runs for years from one that breaks quietly in a month.

  • Separate environments

    Development, staging, and production, so changes are tested before they touch live work.

  • Version control

    Workflows kept in Git, with a history of every change and a way back.

  • Error workflows

    Every workflow reports failures to a named person with the context to fix them.

  • Credential hygiene

    Least-privilege API keys stored in n8n's encrypted credentials, never in workflow code.

  • Reusable sub-workflows

    Shared logic built once and reused, with clear names and folders.

  • Tested on real data

    Normal cases, edge cases, and failures tested with your examples before launch.

  • Code where it helps

    JavaScript or Python nodes for logic that is clearer in code than in boxes.

  • Documented handover

    Every workflow comes with a description, a runbook, and an owner.

Migration

05

Moving from Zapier or Make, without downtime.

Automations are rebuilt in n8n and run alongside the old ones until the results match, then switched over in planned groups.

Ownership

06

Your instance. Your workflows. Your data.

We set n8n up in your account and build inside it. If you ever change partner, everything stays with you.

Each client has its own n8n, either an n8n Cloud subscription or a self-hosted instance in the client's cloud account. Credentials, workflows, and execution data live there.

We work through accounts you grant and can revoke, and every workflow is documented so your team, or another partner, can maintain it.

n8n questions

07

Common questions about n8n.

Why do you build on n8n?

n8n is open, connects to almost any system, supports AI agents natively, and can run in your own account. That means you own your workflows and data, with predictable costs.

Should we use n8n Cloud or self-host it?

n8n Cloud is the quickest to run. Self-hosting in your own cloud account gives more control over data location and cost at volume. We recommend one based on your situation and set it up.

Who owns the workflows?

You do. We build inside your n8n instance, and every workflow is documented so your team or another partner can maintain it.

Can our team edit the workflows themselves?

Yes. We hand over with documentation and, if you want, training, so your team can make everyday changes safely.

Can you migrate us from Zapier or Make?

Yes. We rebuild automations in n8n, run them alongside the old ones until results match, then switch over in planned steps without downtime.

Which AI models do you use?

Whichever fits the task and your data rules: OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, or open-source models. We confirm each provider's data terms before use.
