Agency automation

Scale client delivery without scaling headcount.

Production-grade n8n workflows for digital agencies. Client onboarding in minutes, automated reporting from 5+ platforms, and multi-tenant isolation so one client's workflow never touches another's data.

Common automations

What agencies automate first

Client onboarding

Form submission → project setup (PM tool, Slack channel, drive folder, template deploy) → welcome sequence. 15 minutes from signed contract to live workspace.

Reporting pipelines

Pull data from Google Analytics, Ads, Meta, LinkedIn, Search Console → aggregate in spreadsheet/DB → generate PDF → email to client. Runs weekly on autopilot.

Lead routing

Website form → enrich with Clearbit/Hunter → score by budget + vertical → route to right account manager → auto-create CRM deal. No leads fall through cracks.

Social media scheduling

Content calendar triggers → platform-specific formatting → publish to multiple accounts → engagement tracking → weekly digest to team.

Content approval workflows

Draft submitted → reviewer notified → approval/revision routing → scheduled publish → client notification. Full version history and audit trail.

Multi-tenant client workflows

One n8n instance, namespace-separated per client. Template workflows clone to new clients in minutes. Client-specific credentials isolated per workflow.
