Service · Workflow automation · 6.5% demand share
Workflow automation (n8n, Make, Zapier + custom)
Connect the tools you already use — and graduate brittle zaps into durable automations, with custom code where no-code ends.
Who it’s for
- Ops teams drowning in copy-paste between apps
- Founders on Zapier/Make who hit the ceiling
- Teams that need n8n self-hosted or Rails-side jobs
What you get
- Map the real workflow (happy path + failure path)
- Build in n8n/Make/Zapier or custom workers
- Alerts, retries, and a handoff doc
- Optional LLM steps only where they earn their keep
What this is
Workflow automation (~6.5%) is the glue niche: CRM ↔ email ↔ sheets ↔ Slack, with or without an LLM in the middle.
I start in the tool you already trust, then pull complexity into Rails/workers when zaps become a liability.
