Discuss Your n8n BuildWhat Is n8n Automation?
n8n automation is self-hosted workflow automation that connects your tools with triggers, webhooks and API calls. Think of it as your private Zapier that you own. A trigger listens — new lead on a form, incoming webhook from Meta Ads, Stripe payment, HubSpot deal change — and the workflow runs: clean data, call an API, update your CRM, send WhatsApp, write to Google Sheets, and alert Slack. Because n8n is open-source, there are no per-task fees. A marketing team doing 80,000 tasks a month on Zapier at $600+ can run the same load on n8n automation for $20–$40 of VPS cost.
MetroHyp builds n8n automation Nigeria businesses can host in Lagos or Frankfurt and scale without surprises. Every workflow uses typed triggers — webhook, schedule, or app event — linked with code and no-code nodes. We add queue mode for scale, error workflows that retry with backoff, and full logs. Your stack stays yours: credentials in your vault, workflows versioned in Git, hosting on your VPS. Clients link HubSpot, ActiveCampaign, WhatsApp, Sheets and Paystack in one flow and cut manual work by 70%. It pairs naturally with CRM automation and reporting dashboards so data moves once and shows up everywhere.
If Zapier bills made you avoid automating, n8n automation fixes the economics. We also audit existing Zapier/Make setups and migrate the expensive parts to n8n while keeping the rest intact.
5 Workflows We Build With n8n
Trigger & Webhook Layer
Webhook trigger for every lead source plus scheduled triggers for nightly syncs. Payload validated, deduped by email/phone, then routed to sub-workflows. No missed events.
CRM Sync & Enrichment
Push contacts to HubSpot, ActiveCampaign or Salesforce, enrich via Clearbit/Apollo, tag by source, and create deals and tasks. Zapier logic without Zapier cost.
Multi-App Orchestration
One workflow touches Sheets, Slack, WhatsApp, Stripe and Paystack. Branching handles VIP vs nurture paths. Sub-workflows keep logic reusable and testable.
Error Handling & Retry
Every node has fallback. If HubSpot API or a webhook times out, we retry with exponential backoff and route failures to an error workflow that alerts Slack.
Logging, Alerts & Versioning
Execution logs kept 30 days, workflow versions in Git, and real-time alerts on bad data. You can replay any run and see exactly where a trigger failed.
Spending $400+ on Zapier?
We migrate high-volume Zaps to n8n in 3–5 days and cut 70–90% of fees. You keep low-volume Zaps where they are.

Audit & Blueprint
We map your current Zapier/Make or manual steps, list triggers and payloads, and draft the workflow graph. Includes field map and automation audit priorities.
Build in Sandbox
We build on a sandbox n8n instance with queue mode off, test webhook triggers with 50 live payloads, and verify CRM writes and Sheets rows. Error paths forced and checked.
Host & Handover
Deploy to your VPS via Docker, enable queue mode, connect logs and alerts, and version to Git. Pair with lead capture and CRM sync on day one.
Stack & Integrations
This stack shines because it speaks everything. We use n8n's 300+ nodes plus generic webhook and HTTP nodes for anything with an API. That covers HubSpot, ActiveCampaign, Zoho, Salesforce, WhatsApp Cloud, Telegram, Slack, Google Sheets, Airtable, Stripe, Paystack, PayPal, Shopify and WordPress. Webhook triggers ingest from Meta Ads, Webflow, Calendly and Typeform; code nodes handle transforms Zapier can't.
- Self-hosted on Docker with queue mode and Redis for 10k+ executions/day
- Webhook + HTTP Request nodes for any REST API, with credential vault
- Native nodes for HubSpot, ActiveCampaign, WhatsApp, Sheets, Stripe, Slack
