Quick answer
Yes, I build custom n8n workflows (self-hosted or n8n Cloud) for lead routing, CRM sync, API orchestration, and AI-agent pipelines, typically delivered in 2-4 weeks. Pricing is $60/hour (5-hour minimum) or a fixed price from $2,500, with a free discovery call and the first week refundable.
The work that quietly eats your week
Leads copied between tools by hand. A CRM that drifts out of sync. Reports rebuilt every Monday. Follow-ups that slip through the cracks. It's slow, error-prone, and it doesn't scale. You just hire more people to do more of it. n8n removes the busywork so your team spends time on the work that actually needs a human.
Automations that connect your whole stack
Lead routing & enrichment
Capture, qualify, enrich, and route leads to the right pipeline, rep, or sequence, automatically, the moment they come in.
CRM & tool sync
Keep GoHighLevel, HubSpot, Sheets, Slack, and your stack in sync. No more copy-paste or data drifting out of date.
API orchestration & webhooks
Wire any tool to any tool over REST APIs and webhooks, with the branching, retries, and error handling production needs.
AI-agent pipelines
OpenAI, RAG agents, and Vapi.ai voice bots inside your workflows, for qualification, replies, content, and support.
Multi-platform publishing
Brief → generate → optimize → publish → distribute across your channels, all orchestrated in one n8n pipeline.
Self-hosted & reliable
Self-hosted n8n on your infrastructure, with monitoring and alerts so you know the moment anything breaks.
What a build actually looks like
Here is a lead-routing pipeline I build often, node by node, so you can see the actual work rather than a list of buzzwords. Every new lead is enriched, scored, routed, written back to your CRM, and logged, all in the seconds after it comes in.
- 1
A webhook catches the lead
A Webhook node receives every new lead the instant it's created, whether that's a form, an ad platform, or a GoHighLevel trigger.
- 2
Enrich and score it
An HTTP Request node enriches the contact (company, size, role) and a Function or OpenAI node scores it against your rules, so even messy, free-text inputs get a clean decision.
- 3
Route by the score
A Switch node sends hot leads straight to a rep in Slack and the right GoHighLevel pipeline stage, while cold ones drop into a nurture sequence.
- 4
Write back to the CRM
An HTTP Request node writes the contact, score, and source into GoHighLevel over the v2 API, so your CRM stays the single source of truth.
- 5
Notify, log, and guard
The owner gets a Slack or Telegram ping, every run is logged, and a separate Error Trigger workflow alerts you the moment anything fails. Nothing dies silently.
In the lead-qualification build wired up this way, n8n took lead processing from 2-3 hours down to under 10 seconds. See the lead-qualification case.
Where teams put n8n to work
If a task is repetitive, rule-based, and lives across a few tools, it is a candidate. A sample of what I build most:
- Lead capture, enrichment, scoring, and routing to the right rep or sequence
- Two-way CRM sync (GoHighLevel, HubSpot) with Sheets, Slack, and billing tools
- Order and invoice processing, including e-commerce and TikTok Shop
- Automated review requests with smart timing and sentiment-based routing
- AI content pipelines: brief to draft to SEO to publish to distribute
- Ad-spend and performance reporting pulled from Google, Meta, and TikTok
- Data enrichment and deduplication before records hit your CRM
- Webhook glue between SaaS tools that don't natively integrate

Common questions
How much does it cost to hire an n8n developer?
My n8n work runs $60/hour with a 5-hour minimum, or a fixed price from $2,500 for a scoped project. You get an exact quote within 48 hours of a free discovery call, and the first week of any project is refundable if it's not working out.
n8n vs Zapier or Make: which one do I need?
n8n wins when you need complex branching, custom API calls, self-hosting, or high volume without per-task fees. For a simple two-app zap, Zapier is honestly fine, and if that's your case, I'll say so on the call instead of selling you a build. There's a detailed comparison on the blog if you want the long answer.
Do you work with self-hosted n8n or n8n Cloud?
Both. Most of my clients run self-hosted n8n for data control and lower cost at volume. I handle the hosting setup, error handling, and alerting. If you're already on n8n Cloud, I build there just as well.
How long does an n8n project take?
Most builds ship in 2-4 weeks: fixed scope within 48 hours of the discovery call, then build, testing against your real data, and a documented handover with a walkthrough call.
Can n8n connect to my CRM and internal tools?
Yes. n8n talks to anything with a REST API or webhooks. I regularly wire it to GoHighLevel, HubSpot, Google Sheets, Slack, TikTok Shop, and fully custom internal APIs.
What does a typical n8n build actually include?
A scoped set of workflows on self-hosted n8n or n8n Cloud, with credentials configured, error handling and failure alerts, a logging step so you can see every run, and documentation a future developer can follow. Everything is exported and lives in your own account.
Can you migrate my existing Zapier or Make workflows to n8n?
Yes. I audit your current Zaps or Make scenarios, rebuild them in n8n, and keep the old and new firing together until the rebuild matches, then switch across cleanly. Teams usually do this to escape per-task pricing once volume climbs.
Do you provide documentation and training?
Yes. Every build ships with written documentation of what each workflow does and how it's wired, plus a walkthrough call so your team can run, monitor, and extend the workflows without depending on me.
What happens if a workflow breaks after handover?
Every build ships with error handling and alert notifications, so you know the moment something fails, plus full documentation. You own the workflows outright; if you want ongoing cover, there's a monthly retainer.
