Founder-led n8n Build Sprint

Founder-led n8n Build Sprint (5 Days, Fixed Scope)

I help founders and operators ship one production grade n8n workflow inside five working days. After running n8n in production for my own AEO Content Engine, LinkedIn auto post pipeline, and a 5 day WhatsApp bot for a French real estate client, I have settled on a sprint format that protects scope, ships fast, and leaves you with something you can actually maintain.

What this is

A fixed 5 working day sprint where I build, test, and hand over one n8n workflow with full credentials, error handling, retry logic, and a written runbook. We pick the workflow together on day zero. By Friday, it runs on your own n8n instance or one I provision for you.

Who it is for

  • Founders who want one specific automation done right, not a vague month long retainer
  • Agency owners ready to install internal AI ops (lead routing, content production, reporting) without hiring a full time dev
  • Operators with a clear bottleneck (manual reports, repetitive emails, scraping, content rewrites, posting) and a budget to remove it

What you get

  • One production ready n8n workflow built and deployed on your instance
  • All credentials wired with proper scopes (Google, Slack, Notion, Airtable, Claude, OpenAI, Apify, Meta, LinkedIn, etc.)
  • Error handling, retries, dead letter handling, and Slack or email alerting on failure
  • A written runbook covering inputs, outputs, edge cases, and how to extend the workflow
  • A 30 minute Loom walkthrough of the build
  • 14 days of email support after handover for bug fixes

How it works

  1. Day 0: We meet for 30 minutes, lock the scope in writing, and confirm the trigger, steps, and end state
  2. Days 1 to 3: I build the workflow against test data, with daily Loom updates
  3. Day 4: We do a live review, you tweak the prompts and copy, I lock the final version
  4. Day 5: I deploy to your instance, hand over credentials, and ship the runbook

Founder proof

I built and audited the AEO Content Engine on n8n with seven unique credentials, two HIGH bugs caught at audit (a hardcoded LinkedIn URN and a Sheets auth mismatch), and a full activation playbook. I shipped a WhatsApp AI bot MVP for Cite Roselyne, a French real estate developer, in 5 days at a 50 50 split. I run my LinkedIn auto post v2 workflow for myself on the same playbook. None of these are demos. They run.

Pricing

Founder rate is 1,800 USD fixed for the sprint. Half upfront, half on handover. I run two of these per month and the calendar fills three to four weeks ahead. If your scope needs more than one workflow, we either trim or you book back to back sprints.

FAQ

What if my scope is bigger than one workflow?
We split it. Either we pick the highest priority workflow first or we book two sprints back to back. I will not stretch a five day sprint into ten just to keep the same price.

Do I need my own n8n instance?
Either is fine. I can deploy to your self hosted n8n on Hostinger, Railway, or your own VPS, or I can stand one up for you on day 1 (cost added).

What if a credential gets blocked or rate limited?
I build with retries and exponential backoff by default. If a vendor changes their API mid sprint, I document the workaround and ship what works. The 14 days of post handover support cover post launch surprises.

Can you train my team on n8n during the sprint?
The Loom walkthrough plus runbook usually does it. If you want a live training session, we add 250 USD for a 90 minute team workshop on day 5.

What if you do not finish in 5 days?
I keep building until the scope we wrote on day zero is done. The fixed price does not move. That is on me.
