Automation Hub
The busywork runs itself.
My self-hosted n8n hub is the automation layer behind my clients' projects. It connects their tools, moves data between them and handles the repetitive work, so people can spend their time on the work that matters.
why automate
I automate the boring parts.
Every business has small, repeated tasks that eat hours every week. If a task follows the same steps every time, a workflow can do it, faster and without mistakes.
by hand
- Copy form entries into the CRM
- Put together the weekly report
- Answer the same emails again and again
- Update the same data in two tools
automated
- New form entry → CRM, instantly
- Mondays at 08:00 → report in your inbox
- AI drafts the reply, you approve it
- One change → every tool in sync
workflows
What runs on the hub.
Form to CRM
- Form sent
- Validate
- Create lead
- Notify team
A form on a website sends its data to the hub. It is checked, saved as a lead, and the team gets a message right away.

AI inbox triage

Static site backend
- Site event
- Transform
- API call
- Respond
Fast static websites still need a backend for forms, bookings and integrations. The hub is that backend.

Tools in sync
- Change
- Map fields
- Tool A

When something changes in one tool, the hub updates the others, so nobody copies data by hand.

AI agents in client apps get real tools through the hub: they look things up, update records and start other workflows.

the engine
Self-hosted. Always on.
The hub runs quietly in the background, on my own infrastructure, next to the projects it serves.
- Self-hosted n8n runs in Docker on servers I manage, so client data stays with us.
- Webhooks and schedules start workflows the moment something happens, or at a set time.
- AI agents read, sort and draft, with tools they can call through MCP.
- Always watched failed runs are caught and fixed, not found weeks later.
