n8n Workflow Automation

Complex processes automated — self-hosted, no subscription trap.

Repetitive work – lead notifications, data transfers between systems, automatic reports, onboarding sequences – costs your team valuable time every day. n8n is an open-source workflow automation platform with more than 400 integrations that can run on-premise or in the cloud. Unlike Zapier, there are no per-transaction costs – a decisive advantage at high automation volumes. We design and implement n8n workflows for your specific use case: CRM synchronisation, automatic invoice processing, AI-assisted lead qualification or event-driven notification systems. If needed, we also host and maintain n8n on your own infrastructure.

Typical Challenges

Does this sound familiar?

Mitarbeiter machen Roboter-Arbeit

Daten exportieren, formatieren, importieren — wieder und wieder. Mit n8n automatisieren wir repetitive Tasks ohne Code.

Workflows zwischen Systemen sind manuelle Ketten

"Wenn X passiert, dann tu Y" — aber von Hand. Automatisiert erledigt ein Workflow das in Sekunden.

Self-hosted: your data stays on your server — no cloud dependency

400+ native integrations: e-mail, CRM, databases, APIs, social media

Custom code nodes for complex logic beyond the standard blocks

Scheduled and event-triggered workflows: polling, webhooks, cron jobs

Error handling: automatic retries, notifications, fallback workflows

In Detail

What you get — and why it matters

Repetitive tasks cost your team valuable hours every day: copying data between systems by hand, sorting e-mail attachments into folders, copying customer data into the CRM after a website form submission, compiling weekly reports from three different tools. Each task only takes minutes — but together they add up to hours every week.

n8n is an open-source workflow automation platform that replaces these manual processes with automatic workflows. The decisive advantage over Zapier or Make: n8n can run on your own server (self-hosting), charges no per-transaction fees and gives you full control over your data — an important point for GDPR compliance.

We design and implement n8n workflows for your specific use case. Typical automations: lead notifications for new form submissions, automatic data sync between CRM and accounting, AI-assisted e-mail categorisation, social media monitoring with automatic summaries, and automated reporting pipelines that consolidate data from several sources into one dashboard update.

For complex logic beyond the standard building blocks we use n8n's code nodes (JavaScript and Python). They allow data manipulation, API calls with special authentication methods and conditional branching that the visual blocks alone couldn't handle.

We also take care of hosting and maintenance: n8n on a European server, automatic backups, update management and monitoring with alerts for failed workflows.

Cost comparison n8n vs. Zapier/Make: at 1,000 workflow runs per month, Zapier costs from €73/month (Professional plan with multi-step Zaps). Make from €16/month, but with limitations for complex workflows. Self-hosted n8n: €0 software licence + about €20–50/month for server hosting. From around 5,000 runs per month n8n is significantly cheaper, and at 50,000+ runs n8n saves several hundred euros a month compared with Zapier.

Self-hosted n8n also has a decisive advantage in the DACH market: GDPR compliance. Your workflow data (customer names, e-mail addresses, order data) never leaves the European server. With Zapier and Make all data runs through US servers — a deal-breaker for companies with privacy-sensitive processes.

Prices for an n8n implementation: simple workflows (three to five steps, one trigger, no complex logic): from €1,500 with one week of development. Complex automations with custom code nodes, error handling and multi-system integration: from €3,000 with two to four weeks. Self-hosting setup including server, backups and monitoring: a one-off €500.

Problems we solve: teams spending 30 minutes every morning reconciling data between three systems. E-mail inboxes misused as task managers because there's no automated workflow. Reports copied together by hand from Excel sheets every week. Social media monitoring that consists of checking every platform one by one.

EA Digital Solutions has built workflows with more than 50 nodes and complex error handling — from simple notification chains to multi-stage data pipelines with AI components. Every workflow ships with automatic retries, error notifications and a monitoring dashboard.
