Process automation with Make, Zapier and n8n

Make, Zapier and n8n connect hundreds of apps without traditional software development. Set up properly, they become reliable processes – with error handling, documentation and AI where it truly helps.

Process automation with Make, Zapier or n8n means a trigger (e.g. new email, new form, new deal) starts a workflow that moves data between tools, prepares it and performs actions – automatically and traceably.

Make, Zapier or n8n – which fits?

Zapier is very beginner-friendly with a huge library of integrations. Make suits more complex, visual flows with branching and data shaping. n8n can be self-hosted, is very flexible and interesting when data sovereignty or high volumes matter. We recommend a tool based on process, privacy and budget – not preference.

More than simple zaps

Real business processes need more than 'if X then Y': we build conditions, loops, retries, notifications and clean data formats so the workflow keeps running when something unexpected happens.

AI as a workflow step

AI models plug straight into workflows: classify emails, summarise text, extract data from documents or draft replies. The result flows on into CRM, spreadsheets or ticketing.

Cleaning up existing automations

Many businesses have grown automations nobody fully understands anymore. We analyse, consolidate and document them – or migrate them to a better-suited platform.
