The Automation Sprint — $5,000
One workflow, built production-grade, in 2–4 weeks. Fixed scope, fixed price. You can request it today without a discovery call, because you shouldn't need a meeting to find out what something costs. Built by a senior n8n consultant — the engineer on the proposal is the engineer on the build.
01
What you get
- A working automation in productionOn n8n or Make, running against your real systems.
- Up to five integrationsThe systems the workflow touches.
- Error handling and retriesOn every external call.
- A dead-letter pathSo nothing fails silently.
- Monitoring and alertingWe’re notified when it breaks, and so are you.
- DocumentationThe workflow, the credentials map, and a runbook.
- A 30-minute handover sessionWith the engineer who built it.
- 30 days of post-launch fixesAt no extra cost.
02
What’s not included
Being specific here matters more than being generous.
- More than one workflowOne process, start to finish. Not “automate our onboarding” as a whole.
- More than five integrationsBeyond that, it’s a build, not a sprint.
- Custom softwareIf the workflow needs an application built, that’s a separate engagement.
- Process redesignWe’ll tell you if your process is the problem, but fixing it is consulting work.
- Ongoing maintenance beyond the 30 daysThat’s Automation-as-a-Service, from $500/month.
- Data cleanup at scaleSmall fixes yes; migrating a messy dataset, no.
If discovery shows the work is bigger than a sprint, we tell you before you pay — and refund in full if you'd rather not proceed.
03
Timeline
- Week 1Kickoff, system access, process mapping. We identify the failure cases before building for the happy path.
- Week 2Build and test against real data.
- Week 3Instrumentation, monitoring and your review.
- Week 4Iteration and handover, if needed. The sprint is scoped for two to three weeks; week four exists for the edge cases.
04
Who hires an n8n consultant
- Operations leaders with a process eating hours every week and a number attached to it
- Teams who’ve had a Zapier build break and want it done properly
- Anyone who wants to see how we work before committing to a larger build
Who it's not for:if you need five workflows automated, book a call instead — a sprint would be the wrong shape and we'd rather tell you now.
05
What happens after you request it
- Same dayConfirmation, and an invoice with an access checklist so you know exactly what we need.
- Within 1 business dayA named engineer emails you directly.
- Within 3 business daysKickoff call, process mapped.
- ThenBuild, weekly update, handover.
No account manager, no onboarding sequence. The person who builds it is the person you talk to.
06
Where it goes from here
Most sprints turn into one of two things. Either the automation needs watching, in which case Automation-as-a-Service from $500/month — or the workflow was the first of several and it becomes a build from $10,000.
Neither is a condition of the sprint. If one workflow is all you needed, that's a complete outcome and we'll say so.

FAQ
- Can I really request this without a call?
- Yes. Request it, and we’ll send an invoice and be in touch within a business day.
- What if my workflow is more complicated than $5,000 of work?
- We find that out in week one and tell you immediately — with a full refund if you’d rather stop, or a quote for the real scope if you’d rather continue.
- Do you need access to our systems?
- Yes — read/write on the systems in the workflow. The access checklist goes out with the invoice, and we’ll work within whatever approval process you have.
- n8n or Make?
- We’ll recommend based on your data-residency needs, volume, and who maintains it after us. Self-hosted n8n is our default for regulated data.
- Is there a refund?
- Yes — full refund any time before the build phase starts if the scope isn’t right.
- How do I pay?
- By invoice, in USD, GBP or EUR. Payment details are on the invoice.
