Automate Everything
Without Vendor Lock-In
Self-hosted workflow automation that connects all your tools, eliminates manual processes, and gives you full control over your data and costs.
Manual Processes Are Costing You Hours Every Week
Your tools are scattered, your team is copy-pasting data between platforms, and your Zapier costs keep scaling with growth. There's a better way.
Self-Hosted
Control.
Your workflows run on your infrastructure. No per-task pricing, no data leaving your servers, no vendor deciding to change their API.
Connect
Everything.
500+ integrations out of the box. HubSpot, Slack, Google Sheets, Stripe, databases, APIs - if it exists, n8n can connect to it.
Visual Workflow
Builder.
Drag-and-drop interface your team can actually understand. No code required for simple flows, full code access when you need it.
Sound Familiar?
Here's how a typical discovery call sounds with our founder.
Business Owner
We're paying almost two thousand a month for Zapier and half our zaps break every time an API updates. I keep hearing about n8n but I've no idea where to start.
Blackbird Labs
That's one of the most common things we hear. Zapier is great for simple stuff, but once you're running hundreds of workflows with conditional logic, the cost and reliability issues stack up. What are your most critical automations right now?
Business Owner
Lead routing is the big one. When a form comes in, we need to enrich the data, score it, route it to the right rep, create a deal in HubSpot, and send a personalised welcome email. In Zapier that's six zaps chained together.
Blackbird Labs
In n8n that's one workflow with all the logic in a single canvas. You can see the entire flow visually, add conditional branches, and if one step fails it doesn't break the whole chain. Plus, since it's self-hosted, all that lead data stays on your servers.
Business Owner
Self-hosted sounds like more work though. We don't have a DevOps team.
Blackbird Labs
We handle all of that. We set up the server, deploy n8n, configure backups, and monitor uptime. Your team just uses the visual editor to tweak workflows. Think of us as your automation ops team.
Business Owner
Can you migrate our existing Zapier workflows or do we have to start from scratch?
Blackbird Labs
We migrate everything. We audit your current zaps, rebuild them in n8n with improvements - better error handling, retry logic, monitoring - and run them in parallel during testing. Once everything's verified, we cut over. No downtime, no lost data.
Business Owner
We sell on Shopify, Amazon, and our own wholesale portal. Inventory is never accurate because each platform has its own stock count. We oversold three times last month.
Blackbird Labs
That's the classic multi-channel problem. We'd build an n8n workflow that listens for sales events across all three platforms and updates a central inventory count in real-time. When someone buys on Shopify, Amazon and wholesale stock counts adjust instantly.
Business Owner
We also need order data flowing into our ERP. Right now someone manually exports CSVs every morning and uploads them.
Blackbird Labs
We'd automate that completely. Every order triggers a workflow - customer data syncs to your ERP, inventory adjusts, and a fulfilment task gets created automatically. No CSVs, no manual uploads, no morning data entry ritual.
Business Owner
What about returns? Those are a nightmare - we have to reverse the inventory, issue a refund, and update the customer record across everything.
Blackbird Labs
Returns get their own workflow. When a return is initiated on any platform, n8n handles the inventory reversal, triggers the refund process, updates the customer record, and notifies your support team. One event, five actions, zero manual work.
Business Owner
How reliable is this? We can't afford missed orders.
Blackbird Labs
Every workflow has built-in error handling and retry logic. If Shopify's API is slow or Amazon returns an error, n8n retries automatically. If it still fails after three attempts, you get a Slack alert with full details. We also set up a monitoring dashboard so you see execution health at a glance.
Business Owner
My team compiles a weekly performance report from seven different tools. It takes four hours every Monday and it's always late.
Blackbird Labs
Seven tools is a lot of context-switching. Which platforms are you pulling from?
Business Owner
Google Analytics, HubSpot, Meta Ads, Google Ads, Shopify, our database, and Slack - we track support response times there.
Blackbird Labs
We'd build a workflow that runs at six AM every Monday. It pulls data from all seven sources, calculates your KPIs, formats everything into a clean report, and delivers it to your inbox or a Slack channel before anyone starts work. No manual pulling, no four-hour delay.
Business Owner
Can different stakeholders get different reports? Our investors want high-level numbers, the marketing team wants granular campaign data.
Blackbird Labs
Absolutely. One data pull, multiple report templates. Investors get revenue, growth rate, and runway. Marketing gets CTR, CPA, and conversion funnels. Each audience gets exactly what they need, all generated from the same workflow.
Business Owner
What if we need ad-hoc reports? Like when a board member asks for something specific?
Blackbird Labs
We'd also build you a Slack command. Type something like /report revenue last-quarter and the workflow generates it on the spot. No more waiting for someone to build a one-off query.
