n8n Automation Agency
Most agencies can connect a few apps and call it automation. 2V builds n8n systems that run in production and stay running when you scale. As a certified n8n Expert Partner with 15 years of delivery behind us, we design, ship, and maintain the workflows and AI agents that take manual work off your team, held to measurable ROI inside six months.

A 2-minute look at 2V Automation: how we help businesses automate their operations on n8n, from mapping to production builds to ongoing support.
Why us
Why teams pick 2V as their n8n automation agency
n8n rewards depth. A workflow that looks fine in a demo breaks the first time a payload changes, an API rate-limits, or the logic has to handle an edge case nobody scoped. We build for that from the start. These are the four things clients tell us set the work apart.
-
Certified n8n Expert Partner
We are a certified n8n Expert Partner, not a generalist agency that also touches n8n. The certification is a signal you can verify, and it means the people building your system know the product at the level custom node development and complex state management demand.
-
Production-grade, not demo-grade
We build n8n systems as infrastructure: error handling, retries, monitoring, and the state management real logic needs. The goal is a system that keeps working when volume grows, not a pile of connected nodes that fails the first quiet weekend.
-
A cross-functional team
You get analysts, engineers, developers, and DevOps on the same engagement, not one freelancer wearing every hat. That is why the workflows hold up when you scale them past the first use case.
-
Your team owns everything
Every workflow runs on your self-hosted n8n and belongs to you. No lock-in, no proprietary wrapper, no monthly ransom to keep your own automations running. If you want to take it fully in-house later, you can.

What we build on n8n
Most requests fall into a handful of concrete workflows. Naming them matters, because the right automation is usually a specific job, not a vague automate my ops.
-
Lead routing and CRM sync
Capture leads from every source, enrich them, route them to the right owner, and keep your CRM in sync automatically so nothing is retyped and nothing is dropped.
-
Document and data processing
Parse invoices, contracts, and forms, extract the fields you need, and push clean data into the systems that use it, with human review only where it earns its place.
-
AI agents and chatbots
AI agents on n8n that do real work: triaging support, drafting replies, and answering from your own knowledge base. Production versions of the 15-minute chatbot our founder builds live.
-
Reporting and stakeholder alerts
Scheduled reports and Slack or email alerts that reach the right people on a fixed cadence, so the weekly numbers arrive without anyone exporting a spreadsheet.
-
Self-hosted n8n deployment and custom nodes
We stand up self-hosted n8n on your infrastructure and build custom nodes when your stack needs an integration that does not exist yet. This is where certified depth pays off.
What we ship
n8n in production, not in a demo
Three artifacts from every engagement: a workflow map, a scoped proposal with ROI math, and a live production system.
2V vs building it yourself
When the logic gets real, a certified partner is cheaper than the debugging
| Metric | Doing it yourself | 2V (certified n8n partner) |
|---|---|---|
| Metric Time to production | Doing it yourself Trial-and-error learning curve | 2V (certified n8n partner) Fast, production-ready workflows |
| Metric Delivery | Doing it yourself Requires internal bandwidth | 2V (certified n8n partner) End-to-end, analysts to DevOps |
| Metric Reliability | Doing it yourself Risk of silent failures | 2V (certified n8n partner) Monitored, error-handled systems |
| Metric Scale | Doing it yourself Breaks as logic grows | 2V (certified n8n partner) Built to hold as complexity grows |
| Metric Ownership | Doing it yourself You own it, but maintain it alone | 2V (certified n8n partner) You own it, self-hosted, no lock-in |
How an engagement works
Four steps, scoped against payback from the first call.
- 1
Step 1. Process mapping and audit
We map your operations in BPMN and score what is worth automating, so we build the workflows that pay back, not the ones that are merely possible.
- 2
Step 2. Architecture and scope
We design the system as infrastructure and scope it against a payback target inside six months, not against billable hours.
- 3
Step 3. Build and integrate
We build on your self-hosted n8n, integrate your stack, and handle the error cases and edge conditions that break demo-grade automations.
- 4
Step 4. Handover and optional retainer
Your team owns the result. We can stay on a Backbone Expansion retainer from $1K a month to extend and maintain, or hand over fully and step away. Your call.
n8n consulting and Zapier or Make migration
Not every team needs a full build
n8n consulting
Bring us a specific problem: a workflow that keeps failing, a scaling wall, a build you started and cannot finish. As a certified n8n consultant, we review it, fix the architecture, and leave your team able to run it. This is n8n consulting scoped to an outcome, not open-ended hours. See our automation consulting and roadmap.
Moving from Zapier or Make to n8n
When Zapier or Make costs climb or the logic outgrows what they allow, n8n is usually the right destination: self-hosted, ownable, and far more capable for complex flows. We run our Zapier to n8n migration end to end, keeping what works and rebuilding the parts that were fighting the old tool.
If you are new to n8n
A 15-minute Facebook AI chatbot, built live on n8n
Our founder Valerian Valkin builds a simple Facebook Messenger AI chatbot live in about 15 minutes, to show people new to n8n what the platform actually is. The production AI agents we ship are built to the same clarity, with architecture, error handling, monitoring, and documentation your team can extend.

Proving the ROI of automation
The only question that matters is whether the work pays for itself, and whether you can show it. We scope every engagement against payback, hold the standard of measurable ROI in six months, and see payback typically land inside 90 days. The case studies above are the evidence: 150 hours here, 230 hours there, a payment cycle cut from weeks to days.
We give you the pricing structure up front rather than hiding it, then size the exact scope to your stack and task volume after the audit.
- Discovery Workshop: from $2K - operations walkthrough, roadmap, and ROI ranking.
- Foundation Build: $7K-$13K per system - production-grade, first system live in weeks.
- Backbone Expansion: from $1K/month - monitoring, optimization, and the next system in the queue.
n8n automation agency FAQ
If you have a question, chances are you'll find the answer below.
What does an n8n automation agency do?
It designs, builds, and maintains automated workflows and AI agents on n8n so a team stops doing repetitive work by hand. A good one scopes against payback, builds production-grade systems that survive scale, and hands ownership to your team.
Are you a certified n8n partner?
Yes. 2V is a certified n8n Expert Partner, with 15 years of business-automation delivery behind the team. The certification is verifiable and means the people building your system know n8n at the depth custom nodes and complex logic require.
Do you self-host n8n or use n8n Cloud?
We deploy on self-hosted n8n on your own infrastructure by default, so you own the system and there is no lock-in. We can advise on n8n Cloud where it fits, but self-hosting is what most of our clients want.
Can you migrate our automations from Zapier or Make?
Yes. We move existing Zapier or Make automations to n8n without losing what works, and rebuild the parts that were constrained by the old tool. See our Zapier to n8n migration service.
Can you build custom n8n nodes?
Yes. When your stack needs an integration that does not exist yet, we build custom nodes. This is one of the reasons certified depth matters for anything beyond simple flows.
How is this different from Zapier or Make?
Zapier and Make are fast for simple, linear flows. n8n handles complex logic, self-hosting, and custom code, which is why it scales further. We build on n8n so your automations keep working as the logic gets real.
Who owns the workflows?
You do. Everything runs on your self-hosted n8n and belongs to your team, with no proprietary wrapper and no lock-in. You can keep us on a retainer or take it fully in-house.
How fast can you deliver?
It depends on scope, but we scope against payback and see it land typically inside 90 days. The process mapping and audit come first, so you know the payback before we build.
What does an n8n engagement cost?
We size scope to your stack and task volume after the audit. As a signal, an ongoing Backbone Expansion retainer starts at $1K a month, and we scope builds against payback rather than billable hours.
What size companies do you work with?
We work best with teams that have enough process volume for automation to pay back quickly. The audit tells us honestly whether an engagement will clear that bar before anyone commits.
