A self-hosted automation platform that connects your tools — with concrete examples I ship for clients.

n8n is an open-source automation tool — think Zapier you can self-host and extend.

Flows I build often

New order → invoice → Slack → spreadsheet, automatically.
Form → CRM → welcome email, with the lead scored on the way in.
Scheduled reports that pull analytics + sales into one digest.
AI steps — pass data through Claude/GPT to summarise, classify or draft replies.

Why n8n

Self-hosting means no per-task fees and full control of your data. It connects to hundreds of apps, and where it can't, a single HTTP node talks to any API. Most of my clients save several hours a week within the first month.
