n8n Automation Suite

A small operations team was spending hours every week moving data by hand between the tools they used: copying new sign-ups into other systems, generating documents from templates, chasing status updates, and re-typing information that already existed somewhere else. Mistakes crept in, work piled up when someone was away, and none of it was big enough to justify a custom application.

I mapped the recurring tasks and rebuilt them as n8n workflows running on a self-hosted instance on AWS. The workflows listen for events from the team's apps or run on a schedule, transform and route data through their APIs, generate documents and notifications, and write results back where they belong. Where n8n needed help, small Node.js functions handle the custom logic, and every workflow has error handling and retries with alerts when something needs a human.

The team got back the hours they were spending on copy-paste work and stopped worrying about steps being skipped when someone was on holiday. Because the workflows are visual and documented, the team adjusts them themselves, and new automations are added one at a time instead of waiting for a big project.
