Frequently Asked Questions — AI Workflow Automation

Q01

Why do you build on n8n instead of only using Zapier?

Zapier charges per task—meaning a 10-step workflow running 5,000 times a month can cost hundreds or thousands of dollars monthly in Zapier fees alone. n8n allows complex branching logic, native JavaScript/Python code nodes, AI agent memory, and self-hosted execution with near-zero per-execution overhead.

Q02

What happens if an API fails or a workflow encounters an error?

Every production workflow we deploy includes an automated error-handling branch, dead-letter retry queues, and instant error notifications so no data is ever silently dropped.

Q03

Can you automate reading PDFs, invoices, and contracts?

Yes. In our Standard and Premium tiers, we build Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) pipelines that ingest email attachments or uploaded PDFs, extract structured fields using vision/LLM schemas, validate totals, and push clean records into your accounting software or database.

Q04

Who owns the n8n workflows and code?

You own 100% of all workflow JSON blueprints, credentials, and server configurations. There is zero vendor lock-in.

Q05

How quickly can our first automation workflow go live?

Basic starter workflows (1–2 workflows) are engineered, tested, and deployed within rapids.

Q06

What does the monthly retainer ($59, $149, or $299/mo) cover?

APIs change, third-party tokens expire, and business rules evolve. Your monthly retainer covers 24/7 uptime monitoring, error resolution, API version updates, and ongoing workflow adjustments.
