n8n is open-source workflow automation you can self-host. We build the workflows, write the custom nodes when the built-in ones fall short, and host the whole thing for you.
n8n connects systems without a developer writing a service for every pairing. It covers the large middle ground between a spreadsheet and a bespoke integration: when a form is submitted, create the record, notify the team, and raise the invoice.
What makes it different from the hosted automation tools is that you can run it yourself. No per-task pricing, no limit on how much it does, and your data stays on infrastructure you control — which matters when the workflows carry customer or financial records. We already host and fully manage n8n as one of our managed applications.
Reading the documentation is the easy half. These are the areas that decide whether an integration takes weeks or months — and the ones we scope carefully before quoting.
The sensible dividing line: n8n for orchestration — moving data between systems, reacting to events, running things on a schedule. Purpose-built code for anything with real logic, strict reliability requirements, or heavy volume.
We work on both sides of that line, which means we have no incentive to force your problem into a workflow it does not fit. Often the right answer is n8n for most of it and a small custom service for the part that genuinely needs one.
Cost and control. Self-hosting removes per-task pricing, so automation volume stops being a budget question, and your data stays on infrastructure you own — which matters when workflows carry customer or financial records. The trade-off is that somebody has to run it, which is the part we take on.
Yes — it is already one of the applications we host. Provisioned, secured, backed up, kept upgraded, and monitored. You get the automation platform without owning a server.
We write one. Custom node development is a normal part of this work, and in practice the more interesting business systems are exactly the ones without an off-the-shelf node.
Yes, and the cost difference at volume is usually the reason people ask. We rebuild the workflows properly rather than transcribing them, because the originals typically have no error handling — the hosted tools make it easy to skip.
Because we monitor the workflows themselves, not just whether the server is up. A disabled workflow or an expired credential throws no error — things simply stop happening — so this needs watching deliberately.
We are usually working in several of these at once, which is how we know where each one bites. See all integrations for the full list.
