Most n8n and Make work is template configuration that breaks the first time an API changes shape. We build workflows the way software gets built: version-controlled, tested, monitored, and with custom nodes written where the off-the-shelf ones do not fit.
From$2,500
One workflow built under version control, with custom nodes where needed, error handling and alerting.
Indicative starting price. The fixed fee for your scope is quoted after the two-day diagnosis, before any build begins.
Start small
Fixed scope, fixed price, five working days
Pick the one repetitive job that costs you the most time. We scope it on a thirty-minute call, build it, and it is running in your systems within five working days of kickoff. If it is not running by day five, there is no invoice.
When it is live you can stop there. No retainer is attached. If you want more built, the second workflow is quoted from the same spec format, and the diagnose phase is where a wider roadmap starts.
What makes it work
Workflows live in version control with separate environments, a test path and a review step. A flow that moves money or touches customers deserves the same rigour as the systems either side of it, and almost never gets it.
The community library is broad but not complete. When there is no node for your internal API, we write one properly rather than chaining five HTTP calls and a Code node that nobody will understand in six months.
n8n runs in your own infrastructure. Where data residency, contractual terms or volume economics make that the right call, we deploy it there and take responsibility for upgrades, backups and uptime.
Capabilities
From a mapped process to a running flow, with the error paths designed before the happy path is celebrated.
Properly packaged nodes for your internal APIs and any service the community has not covered, documented and maintainable.
n8n in your own cloud or on-premise, with upgrades, backups, queue mode and scaling handled.
Moving off per-task pricing or brittle legacy automations, with parity tested before anything is switched off.
Retries, dead-letter handling, alerting and run history, so a broken flow announces itself rather than going quiet.
Secrets handled properly, permissions scoped per workflow, and an audit trail of what ran with whose access.
In detail
A category name is not a scope. These are the individual pieces of work inside this practice - take the two that apply to you and ignore the rest.
Turning a mapped process into a running flow, with the error paths and retry behaviour designed before anyone celebrates the happy path.
Properly packaged n8n nodes for your internal APIs and for services the community library has not covered, with documentation and tests.
Running n8n in your own cloud or on-premise, including queue mode, worker scaling, upgrades, backups and restore testing.
Moving off per-task pricing onto n8n or Make, with output parity verified against the old automation before anything is switched off.
Taking over a sprawl of flows built by somebody who has left, documenting what each one does, and deleting the ones nothing depends on.
Retries with backoff, dead-letter queues, failure notifications and run history, so a broken flow announces itself instead of going quiet.
Secrets stored properly, permissions scoped per workflow, and an audit trail of what ran using whose access.
Adding classification, extraction, drafting or routing to an existing automation, with a confidence threshold and a human path for the uncertain cases.
Finding the flows running far more often than anything consumes their output, which is the usual cause of a surprising bill.
Handover so your people can build and maintain flows themselves, including the conventions that stop it becoming a sprawl again.
What you receive
Around three weeks end to end. That comes from scoping tightly to one workflow - not from skipping a phase. Each still ends in evidence you can check.

Let's talk
We will trace why it fails, tell you whether it is a design problem or a platform limit, and give you a fixed-fee estimate to rebuild it properly. If the honest answer is that your current setup is fine, we will say so.
