Automated workflows between your programs
n8n agency in the Düsseldorf area
n8n is a tool for automated workflows between programs. We use it to build workflows and plan ahead for what should happen when something fails.
Free intro callScope and timeframe depend on your project
With n8n you connect programs that were never designed to work together. A workflow that runs in a test is usually the easy part. The hard part is everyday use: when a program doesn't answer, a field is missing or the same document arrives twice. Those are the cases we pay particular attention to when building.
- 01Workflows between inbox, ERP, CRM, shop and accounting
- 02Rules for when something fails, such as a retry or a check for duplicate documents
- 03On request, a log showing what happened, when and with what
- 04Where needed, an alert when a workflow gets stuck
- 05Runs in your own IT or in the n8n cloud, depending on the project

How it runs
How it runs
A project like this usually runs in four steps.
01
Map the process
We go through the process with the people who do it every day and look at where most of the time goes.
02
Build the first workflow
We usually start with a single, manageable workflow in real use. It's a good way to see whether the approach fits.
03
Make it robust
This step is about what happens when things go wrong, such as retries, checks for unusual values and alerts. Prototypes often leave this part out.
04
Hand over
Handover usually includes documentation and a walkthrough for your team.
What this is not
So you know in advance what it isn't suited for.
- No substitute for a missing program. If the data exists nowhere, n8n can't connect it either.
- Not suited to processes with many exceptions that are all different. Those stay manual work or need custom software.
- No reason to replace a program that works. We would rather connect it than replace it.
Common questions
Before you ask
Usually once it's clear what is to be built. That includes which other systems the solution has to work with and what we're assuming along the way. We work this out with you and write it down. That becomes the quote, and the quote states the price.
Often, yes. Where there's no interface, the database or a file export can be a way in. As a last resort, a program can operate the screen the way a person would. Whether it works with your software depends on what access it allows.
That depends on your numbers. What matters is how often the task comes up, how long it takes today and what a mistake costs. That calculation is best done together before a project starts. If it shows no saving, that's a good reason to leave it.
Then it should tell someone instead of quietly stopping. A workflow can be built to catch errors, try again and alert a named person. A dashboard can show what ran and what got stuck. How much of this makes sense depends on how important the workflow is to you.
