n8n workflows

Self-hosted n8n workflows for lead capture, replies, logging and alerts, running on your server, not mine.

Why self-hosted n8n?

Self-hosting n8n on your own server means your workflows and data stay under your control, and there is no per-task bill from a hosted automation platform. It suits businesses that want flexible workflows, such as webhooks, validation, AI steps and Sheets logging, without lock-in. I check the n8n licence terms for your use case first.

What does a typical n8n lead workflow look like?

A website form posts to a webhook. The workflow checks that a valid email and message exist, optionally drafts a reply with an AI step and runs a spam check, then sends an instant reply and an owner alert through Gmail and logs the lead in Google Sheets. Invalid entries go to a separate tab.

What’s included

  • Workflow design agreed in the scope
  • Webhook or form triggers, validation and spam checks
  • Gmail, Google Sheets and HTTP steps
  • Credentials kept in your n8n, with notes

How it works

  1. Describe the task

    Tell me the job that eats your week. I ask a few sharp questions: which tools you use, how many enquiries or records, who needs alerting.

  2. Fixed-price scope

    You get a short written scope: what gets built, what you will own, what is out of scope, the delivery date and the price.

  3. Build and test with fictional data

    The build happens in your accounts with the least access needed, tested first with made-up data so no real customer is affected.

  4. Live test together

    We run a real test, such as a test enquiry through your own form, and you check the result yourself.

  5. Handover

    A written guide, a list of every trigger and permission, how to switch it off, and access handed back.
