Custom n8n workflows built for complex automation that Make.com or Zapier can't handle. Self-hosted or cloud. Code-level logic when you need it. Fixed price, delivered in 1-3 weeks.
n8n is the automation platform we use for projects that need full code-level control, self-hosting, complex branching logic, or high-volume processing without per-operation costs. It sits between a no-code tool like Make.com and building custom code from scratch. We build n8n workflows that run on your infrastructure, handle any complexity, and cost nothing per run.
// what we build
6 things we build with n8n
High-volume document processing
Thousands of invoices, delivery notes, or forms processed monthly without per-operation costs. Claude API extracts data, custom code validates and matches, PostgreSQL stores results.
Email attachments → n8n file handler → Claude Vision API extract → Python function node → PostgreSQL match → exception alert
AI-powered lead qualification
Every inbound lead enriched, scored by Claude, and routed based on fit. High-score leads alert sales immediately. Low-score leads enter nurture. All in one n8n workflow.
Form submit → Apollo enrichment → Claude API scoring → CRM create → conditional routing → Slack or email
Complex multi-step sales sequences
Outbound sequences with personalization at every step, conditional branches based on email opens and replies, CRM updates at each stage, and escalation logic when leads go cold.
Clay → n8n → email day 1 → wait for reply → branch: replied/no reply → follow-up or escalation
Self-hosted data pipelines
For companies with data residency requirements or who can't use cloud tools. n8n runs on your server, data stays in your infrastructure, workflows have full audit trails.
On-premise trigger → n8n (self-hosted) → internal API → local PostgreSQL → dashboard update
Custom webhook handling
Build webhook receivers for any event - Stripe payments, GitHub actions, form submissions, IoT data - with custom processing logic and routing to the right systems.
When should I hire an n8n developer instead of using Make.com?
Choose n8n when you: need self-hosting for data residency reasons, have high message/operation volume that would be expensive in Make.com, need to write custom code logic inside the workflow, or have a developer on your team who will maintain it. For most SMBs without these constraints, Make.com is faster to build and maintain.
How much does an n8n project cost?
Fixed price from $1,500 for a focused n8n workflow. More complex pipelines with custom code nodes, self-hosted setup, and multiple system integrations run $3,000-8,000. We scope and quote before starting.
Do you set up self-hosted n8n?
Yes. We configure n8n on your server (Hetzner, AWS, DigitalOcean, or wherever you host), set up SSL, configure credentials securely, set up monitoring, and document the setup. We also set up n8n cloud if you prefer managed hosting.
Can n8n replace Make.com or Zapier entirely?
For most workflows, yes - n8n can do everything Make.com and Zapier do, plus more. The trade-off is setup complexity: n8n requires more configuration than Make.com. We typically recommend starting with Make.com and moving specific workflows to n8n when you hit its limits.
What happens if the n8n workflow breaks after delivery?
You get documentation of every workflow, error handling built into the flows, and a 30-day support window. For self-hosted setups, we configure monitoring alerts. After the support window, we offer maintenance retainers for ongoing support.
