Looking for 1–2 n8n Builders for Long-Term Collaboration

Hi everyone,

I’m building a new AI automation agency focused on WhatsApp automation for service businesses.

We’re starting from zero, with no existing clients or fixed monthly salary. I’m looking for 1–2 reliable n8n builders to work on a project basis as clients are acquired.

What I’m looking for

You should be comfortable with:

  • n8n workflow development
  • WhatsApp Business/API integrations
  • AI/LLM integrations
  • APIs and webhooks
  • Google Sheets, CRMs, calendars and other business tools
  • Lead qualification, follow-ups and booking workflows
  • Human handoff/fallback logic
  • Error handling, testing and troubleshooting
  • Deployment, monitoring and maintenance
  • Basic technical documentation

Strong WhatsApp automation experience is especially valuable.

Example projects

  • WhatsApp AI lead qualification
  • FAQ and customer-support bots
  • Lead capture and CRM integration
  • Appointment booking and rescheduling
  • Automated follow-ups
  • Human-agent handoff
  • Notifications and internal alerts
  • AI-powered business workflows

Working arrangement

This is project-based, not salaried:

Client acquired → scope agreed → builder assigned → paid build/testing → deployment → maintenance if required

I am not asking anyone to work for free. Since the agency is starting from zero, I cannot guarantee monthly income or workload. However, I’m interested in building a long-term working relationship as the client pipeline grows.

Location

India is preferred for timezone and communication, but international candidates are welcome if they can provide reasonable overlap.

How to apply

Reply with “n8n builder” and DM me on Discord: “jyotirmoydas_22”

Please include:

  1. Name and location/timezone
  2. Years of n8n experience
  3. 2–3 real workflows you personally built
  4. WhatsApp/API and AI/LLM experience
  5. Production deployment and monitoring experience
  6. Preferred project-based pricing
  7. Weekly availability
  8. Portfolio, GitHub, templates, screenshots or demos, if available

Please do not send passwords, API keys, credentials, or confidential client information.

I’m looking for technically capable, reliable people who communicate clearly and take responsibility for workflows after deployment—not just build them and disappear.

If interested, reply with “n8n builder” and DM me on Discord with the requested details.

Hi Jyotirmoy,

The error-handling and human-handoff parts of your list are the two I’d want to talk about first - in WhatsApp flows those are where client trust is won or lost, because a failed send at the wrong moment looks like the business ignoring a customer.

What I can show you today:

  • Lead capture from web forms / Meta lead ads / webhooks into one normalised record, with dedupe and a source tag
  • AI qualification on top of that: a scoring rubric, an LLM call, and a status written back to the CRM
  • Automated follow-up sequences with a hard stop the moment a human takes over, so the bot never talks over your team
  • Failure handling built in from the start: retries with backoff, failed items kept instead of dropped, and an alert carrying the record ID

Timezone: I’m UTC+8, so I overlap with IST for most of your working day, and I work async with written updates by default.

One honest gap: I haven’t shipped a WhatsApp Cloud API integration yet. Webhooks, HTTP nodes, REST APIs and Sheets/CRM syncing I’m comfortable with - WhatsApp itself I’d want to prototype once before you put it in front of a paying client. I’d rather flag that now than discover it on your first project.

Happy to do a small paid test build first so you can judge the work before it goes near a client.

Name / location / timezone
Mohsen, Iran — UTC+3:30, so a 2-hour offset from IST. That means calls land in your morning or your evening, and every handover comes with written documentation, so your side is never blocked waiting on my working hours.

Years of n8n experience
About 2 years, self-hosted in Docker. I come from full-stack development (Python/JS), which is why the API, webhook and JSON side of n8n is the part I’m fastest at.

Real workflows I built personally

  1. WhatsApp lead capture → AI FAQ → human handoff. I built this for your first post before replying, so it is the closest thing to a direct sample of your client work. 11 nodes, imports into a stock n8n, with its test scripts: n8n demo: WhatsApp lead capture + AI FAQ + human handoff (built for community.n8n.io post 316359) · GitHub
    The routing fails safe rather than trusting the model: a message escalates to a person when the model flags it, when the answer came back empty, or when confidence is under 0.6. Delivery receipts are dropped in the normaliser so the bot can never answer its own read receipt.

  2. Telegram content pipeline — photos in, a single LLM call writes the caption, hashtags and site copy, one-tap publish to a Supabase-backed site plus an Instagram carousel. Model 429/503 handled with cooldowns instead of retries that stampede the rate limit.

  3. Trading automation — freqtrade running in production, with alerting and scheduled reporting over Telegram: GitHub - mohsenjfar/freqtrade: Free, open source crypto trading bot · GitHub

WhatsApp / API / AI-LLM experience
WhatsApp Cloud API: not yet in production. The workflow above is my own build of your exact use case — I’d rather you judge that than take my word for it. Technically it is a signed webhook plus a REST send endpoint, and the parts that actually cause trouble (24-hour message windows, template approval, per-conversation billing) are the ones I wrote up in the gist README.
API / webhooks: daily work. Inbound webhooks answered through a response node so the caller never times out; outbound APIs with auth, pagination and backoff.
AI / LLM: extensive. Gemini and OpenAI behind HTTP Request nodes, JSON-mode prompting, and defensive parsing for when a model returns prose instead of JSON — that case is one of the tests in the gist.

Production deployment and monitoring
Containers with restart policies, structured logs, and retry with backoff. I hold dedupe state so a re-run can never double-post or double-message. I currently run a lead-agent that polls several job boards on its own and alerts me — so the monitoring is something I use, not just something I claim.

Preferred project-based pricing
$15/hour, or fixed price per workflow when the scope is clear:

  • single-purpose workflow (like the demo above): $200
  • full WhatsApp assistant — intent routing, CRM/Sheets, booking, handoff: $450–700
  • a paid test project: welcome, at the same hourly rate

Weekly availability
Roughly 20 hours/week, adjustable toward your pipeline. When clients are acquired, I can prioritise.

Portfolio / proof

Two things worth saying upfront

  • I take payment in USDC. Better to know now than after a test project.
  • I’ll send the same details to your Discord at jyotirmoydas22, so you have them in both places.

Your arrangement — you own clients and requirements, I own implementation and stay responsible for the workflow after deployment — is the split I want. A build that gets abandoned at handover is worse than no build, which is why the demo above ships with its tests and a README listing its known risks.

Hi, I’m Agbaje Olarewaju, based in Nigeria (WAT, UTC+1), and I’m interested in joining your team as an n8n builder.

I have 4 years of hands-on experience with workflow automation, including n8n, APIs, webhooks, CRM automation, databases, and AI/LLM integrations.

Some of the systems I’ve personally worked on include:

• Real Estate Speed-to-Lead System — automated lead capture, rapid lead response, SMS/email follow-ups, lead qualification and CRM updates.

• GoHighLevel + n8n Automation — connected CRM pipelines, forms, webhooks, notifications, documents, follow-ups and external APIs through n8n.

• AI-Powered Business Workflows — workflows that receive business data, process it with AI/LLMs, apply structured logic, update databases/CRMs and trigger the appropriate next action.

I’m comfortable working with REST APIs, JSON, webhooks, HTTP Request nodes, OAuth/API authentication, Google Sheets, CRMs, Supabase/Postgres, calendars, AI/LLMs and error-handling logic.

I also understand that production automation is more than just making a workflow run. I pay attention to validation, retries, error handling, logging, testing, maintainability, monitoring and documentation.

For WhatsApp specifically, I’m comfortable working with API/webhook-based integrations and building the automation logic around incoming messages, lead capture, qualification, AI responses, routing, notifications and human handoff. I’m also willing to work with whichever WhatsApp provider/API your projects use.

Location/Timezone: Nigeria — WAT (UTC+1). I can provide reasonable overlap with India and other time zones.

Availability: Available for project-based work and can adjust my schedule based on project requirements.

Pricing: Flexible depending on the workflow scope and complexity. I’m comfortable agreeing on a fixed project price after the requirements are defined.

Ongoing work: Yes. I’m specifically interested in building a long-term working relationship as your client pipeline grows.

I’m also open to starting with a small paid test project so you can evaluate my technical ability, communication and approach before assigning larger builds.

n8n builder
Hello,

I’m Giovanni, based in Missouri, USA (Central Time). I have 2+ years of experience building n8n and AI automation systems.

Relevant projects I personally built:

  • Telegram RAG Agent Qualifier — FAQs, lead qualification, conversation context, structured data, and human escalation
  • Lead Research & Icebreaker Generator — APIs, enrichment, AI personalization, validation, QA, and outreach
  • Telegram/Voice Lead Bot — inbound conversations, qualification, FAQs, and manager notifications

My strongest experience is with n8n, APIs/webhooks, AI/LLMs, Supabase/Postgres, Google Sheets, lead workflows, and human-handoff logic. I’m comfortable implementing WhatsApp Business integrations as well.

I build with validation, retries, error handling, logging, testing, and troubleshooting, and I can support agreed fixes or maintenance when included in the project scope.

Fixed-price ranges:
Small project: $250–$500
Medium project: $500–$1,000+

Availability: 20–30 hours/week, with room to increase if there’s consistent workload.

Portfolio:

Answers to your seven points are in your DM inbox already (sent yesterday, plus a follow-up after your clarification post) - so I won’t repeat them here.

The one thing I’d add publicly: the bottom half of your requirements list is the half that will decide whether the agency keeps clients past the first project. Building the demo workflow for lead qualification or FAQ is the easy part; running WhatsApp automations in production for months - when Meta changes something, when a workflow stops silently, when a client asks “is this thing even on?” - is a different discipline entirely. That’s the side I operate from: a WhatsApp Business assistant for a clinic (reminders, intake, document collection) has been running in production for me long enough to have those stories, plus the watchdog habit that alerts on silence, not just failures.

Either way - nice to see the lifecycle half called out explicitly in a hiring post. Most only list the build.

Hi,

I’m interested in collaborating with you on your n8n projects.

I’m currently building and testing production-oriented business automation systems using n8n, including:

• WhatsApp Business API integrations
• AI-powered customer support and lead qualification
• Appointment booking, rescheduling, confirmation and reminders
• CRM and PostgreSQL integrations
• REST APIs and webhooks
• Human handoff workflows
• Error handling, validation, retries and logging
• Self-hosted n8n and AI workflows

I’m comfortable taking a workflow from requirements through implementation, testing, debugging and deployment.

I’d be happy to start with a small paid project so we can test the collaboration before moving to larger or ongoing work.

I’m also open to fixed-price work per project depending on the scope.

If you have a first workflow or client requirement ready, feel free to send me the details and I can review it.

Best regards,
Mohammed

Hi — I’m Evan, an Automation & Integration Engineer working mainly with n8n, APIs/webhooks, PostgreSQL/Supabase, JavaScript/TypeScript, and AI-assisted workflows.

I’m interested in the long-term collaboration. I’m comfortable taking a scoped workflow from requirements through implementation, testing, debugging, documentation, and handoff — including the less visible parts like validation, deduplication, retries, error paths, and logging.

I prefer keeping automation maintainable rather than just getting a demo to run once.

Here’s a technical reference showing how I approach integration reliability:

If you already have a first project or workflow brief, send it over. I can review the scope and tell you how I’d approach the first milestone.

Hi Jyotirmoy, I’m Shital from India. I’m interested in collaborating as an n8n builder on a project basis.

I work with n8n, WhatsApp/webhooks, AI/LLM APIs, REST APIs, JavaScript/Python, CRM integrations and appointment workflows. I’ve built an AI-powered real-estate automation system covering lead processing, structured AI output, validation, Redis-based idempotency and Calendar/CRM workflows.

Your focus on WhatsApp automation for service businesses is closely aligned with my experience. I can share 2–3 workflow examples and discuss project-based collaboration as clients come in.

Thanks,
Shital

Hi @Jyotirmoy_Das, I’m Ayub. I work with n8n, webhooks, APIs and workflow debugging. I’m especially interested in the part that happens after a workflow is built: checking failed runs, handling duplicate events and making sure records reach the right place.

If you have a first project in mind, I’d be happy to look at the requirements and talk through what I could take on. I can share a relevant workflow example too.

Hi, I am interested in joining your team as an n8n builder.

I have hands-on experience building AI-powered business automations with n8n, APIs, webhooks, JSON, Gemini, AI agents, Twilio and Google Sheets. I’ve built 20+ practical workflows focused on solving real business problems.

Some relevant projects I’ve built include:

• Real-estate WhatsApp assistant using Twilio, Gemini and Google Sheets for handling property enquiries and lead information.

• CRM lead scoring workflow that processes incoming leads and uses AI to qualify and structure them for follow-up.

• AI customer communication automation for handling incoming requests and generating appropriate responses.

• Huawei NOC alert automation using webhooks and AI to process alerts, identify priority and generate actionable notifications.

• CV screening automation that processes candidate information and uses AI to evaluate and structure applications.

I am comfortable working with APIs, webhooks, conditional logic, data processing, AI/LLM integrations and troubleshooting workflows. I also understand the importance of testing edge cases, adding fallback logic and documenting workflows so they are maintainable.

I am based in Nigeria (WAT, UTC+1) and can provide reasonable overlap with India. I’m specifically interested in a project-based arrangement and would be happy to grow with the agency as the client pipeline develops.

Hi there,

I am an AI & Workflow Automation Engineer based in Indonesia (UTC+7). I specialize in self-hosted n8n deployments (Docker/VPS) and mission-critical API integrations. My core production builds include automated inbound lead triage engines with AI validation, multi-CRM syncs (HubSpot, GoHighLevel, Google Sheets), and failover alert systems running under 10s execution. I prefer fixed-scope sprint pricing ($650 – $850 per workflow milestone) backed by strict error-budgeting. Happy to connect and share architecture breakdowns.

Building for an agency starting from zero is a different brief than building for a single client — you need someone who can scope fast, document for hand-off, and is comfortable with the gaps between client runs.

On the WhatsApp side:

  • WhatsApp Business API to n8n via webhook (lead intake, AI qualification, human handoff with a hard stop so the bot never talks over your team)
  • Error handling from day one: retries with backoff, failed records persisted instead of dropped, owner alert with record ID
  • CRM writes (Google Sheets, HubSpot, Airtable) baked in

I quote per project after a short scope call and return a number within 24 hours. First delivery includes a brief doc so you can explain the flow to the client yourself. Open to a paid pilot — one flow, fixed price — to establish trust before longer engagements.

US Central time. Happy to sketch a WhatsApp lead-qualification architecture if that would help.

Hi Jyotirmoy,

Your WhatsApp automations for local service businesses (lead capture, qualification, human handoff) are close to what we’ve built. We built the WhatsApp + CRM layer for Quickport CRM, a multi-tenant SaaS for coaching institutes — template sync, automated fee reminders, lead follow-up. Please check it on www.quickport.co.in
For your clients we’d deliver fixed-scope builds: enquiry captured on WhatsApp, qualified, logged to the CRM or sheet, and handed to a person when needed. Scoped builds start at ₹15,000; a paid test project is fine.

We work async, deliver documented handoffs (workflow export + short screen recording + README), and we’re comfortable working white-label behind your agency.

Happy to share screenshots of similar work.

Interested. One scoping question: what share of the work touches a database (Supabase/Postgres) versus pure API glue? I ask because that’s where I add the most beyond n8n — I build React/Supabase apps around workflows and maintain an open-source Supabase security toolkit (github.com/larik15/supabase-security-mcp: RLS audit + two-account cross-user test), so client data setups get checked, not just wired. Every workflow ships with explicit error handling, a small test set and a runbook. Live product: leaseai.rentals. Happy to start with one fixed-price workflow.

Hi Jyotirmoy — I’m interested in the project-based collaboration. I’m Mikael, based in Bangkok (UTC+7), and can provide reasonable overlap. I have 1–2 years of hands-on n8n work alongside broader automation experience.

A few relevant workflows I have built at Shinka AI: (1) a prospect-research and review system using APIs/webhooks, structured company data, AI-assisted review, website previews and a human approval gate; (2) lead/data enrichment and routing workflows with validation, deduplication and notifications; and (3) API-driven website/content workflows with review steps and handover documentation. I’m comfortable with n8n, Make-style orchestration, REST APIs, webhooks, Google Sheets/Gmail, LLM integrations, error handling and testing.

I haven’t deployed a full WhatsApp Business automation to production yet, so I don’t want to overstate that specific experience, but I can work from the API requirements and build the surrounding logic carefully. For pricing, I’d prefer agreed fixed-price milestones or approximately $40/hour depending on scope. I can make 40+ hours/week available when projects are active.

Happy to continue in Discord and share sanitized screenshots or a demo where useful.
