The Automation Agency
Workflow automation · UK

Stop re-typing the same data
into three systems. We automate the bit in between.

If someone on your team spends their morning copying information from one system into another, that job exists only because the two systems do not talk to each other. We build the workflows that connect them — usually with n8n, an open automation platform we can host for you or hand over on your own infrastructure — so the data moves on its own and nobody has to remember to do it. Fixed price, agreed before we start, and you own the workflows outright.

Who we build for
We build workflow automation for UK businesses of roughly five to fifty staff, usually where someone spends their morning moving the same information between two systems that do not talk.
What we take off people
We connect the tools a business already pays for — a CRM such as HubSpot or Pipedrive, accounting in Xero or Sage, forms, inboxes, spreadsheets and messaging — so enquiries, records and reports move between them without anyone re-typing.
What it costs to start
Our fixed prices start at £300 for a chatbot and £500 for a single automation; a whole process built end to end starts at £3,000, and the written Process Audit is £1,500, credited against a custom build.
Where we are
We are based in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, and work with clients across the UK, with in-person kickoffs anywhere in the East Midlands.
The problem

Why this keeps happening.

Most teams have three or four tools that don't talk to each other, so someone spends their morning copy-pasting between them. n8n connects those tools into one workflow that runs on its own — and because it is self-hosted, it does not get more expensive every time you use it.

What we build

Example workflows

  1. 01

    New website enquiry → create the CRM record → post to Slack → send a templated reply

  2. 02

    Incoming email with an attachment → extract the data → append a row to Google Sheets

  3. 03

    Nightly job → pull figures from an API → build a report → email it to the client

  4. 04

    Stripe payment → update the CRM, send the receipt, tag the subscription

  5. 05

    Airtable status change → notify the right person on WhatsApp or Telegram

Common questions

Answers before you ask.

Is n8n better than Zapier or Make?+

For anything beyond simple flows, usually yes. n8n is self-hostable, so you are not paying per task, and it handles complex logic, custom code and API calls that Zapier charges a premium for. For a couple of tiny automations, Zapier can still be the quicker win — we will tell you which fits.

Do you host the n8n workflows for us?+

We can host and monitor them for you, or set n8n up on your own infrastructure and hand it over with documentation. Either way you own the workflows outright.

How much does an n8n workflow cost?+

One workflow joining two or three tools is from £500, fixed price. Fixed price, agreed before we start. You own the code, and nothing is charged monthly unless you later ask for the support plan. Starter builds do not need an audit. The audit is for businesses deciding which bigger system to build first. Where the honest answer is a whole process rather than one workflow, that is a custom build from £3,000, and the £1,500 Process Audit is what decides which you actually need.

What if a workflow breaks?+

We build in error handling and alerts so you know before your customers do. After the 30 days included with every build, the support plan (£150/mo per system) covers monitoring and break-fix if you want it. The support plan begins when the 30 days of support included with every build run out. Nothing is charged before that. Broken workflows built by someone else are one of the most common things we get asked to rebuild.

Tell us about the job

You don't need a technical plan. Describe what your team does now and what you'd like to happen instead, in your own words. We reply within 24 hours.

A useful first message answers four things:

  1. What does someone on your team do by hand at the moment?
  2. Which software does it involve? Email, spreadsheets, your accounts package — whatever you use.
  3. What would you like to happen on its own instead?
  4. What should a person still check before it goes out?

No mailing list. We won't email you unless you email us first.
