SaaS operations

Ship features, not glue code.

Production-grade n8n workflows for SaaS teams. Onboarding sequences, churn detection, billing sync, and internal tooling that runs alongside your product infrastructure with complete audit trails.

Common automations

What SaaS teams automate first

User onboarding sequences

Sign-up webhook → welcome email → feature-gating check → drip sequence → activation milestone tracking. Segment by plan tier automatically.

Trial-to-paid conversion flows

Usage threshold triggers → in-app nudges → email sequences → Slack alerts to sales. Personalized based on feature adoption signals.

Churn detection & intervention

Daily usage aggregation → drop detection → automated intervention (email/in-app) → escalation to CS team if no re-engagement within 72 hours.

Billing sync

Stripe webhook → CRM update → accounting system entry → revenue recognition. Handles upgrades, downgrades, failed payments, and refunds.

Support ticket routing

Ticket created → customer lookup → plan tier check → priority assignment → team routing. VIP customers get escalated automatically.

Product analytics aggregation

Pull data from Mixpanel/Amplitude/PostHog → aggregate → push to data warehouse → trigger Slack digest. Weekly metrics without manual spreadsheets.

Internal tooling

Slack bots for customer lookup, dashboards for ops metrics, automated deploy notifications, incident response runbooks triggered by alerts.
