Hi everyone!
Hi everyone!
I’m researching how automation consultants actually work with n8n in practice.
A few questions:
How do you deliver workflows to clients?
Self-host on client’s server
Self-host on your server (charge monthly)
Multi-tenant setup
Client hosts themselves
How do you handle client credentials?
Client shares passwords (email/WhatsApp)
Client authenticates themselves (OAuth)
Password manager (1Password etc.)
What’s your biggest headache?
Managing multiple client passwords
Security/liability concerns
Client changes break workflows
Client needs help setting up
Hosting/server costs
Do you charge monthly or one-time?
Monthly retainer
One-time setup
Both
Just trying to understand what works and what doesn’t. Would love to hear from people actually doing this!
Well, now it seems better lol… instead the raw html.
BTW, I won’t explain how I “monetize” myself since there is no “straight” to do, but this resource here got my attention since it describes very molecular on how someone may create the business model.
