n8n automation for businesses. Workflows your team can understand and own.

n8n is a workflow automation platform that connects your apps (ERP, CRM, email, WhatsApp, spreadsheets) and lets you add AI steps along the way. You can run it on n8n's cloud or self-host it in your own infrastructure. Rival Tech implements n8n with a specialized, certified team: we design the workflows, secure and monitor them, and hand them over to your team fully documented.

Our team is certified in

  • AWSCloud & AI
  • Google CloudCloud & AI
  • n8nAutomation
  • AnthropicClaude & agents
  • OpenAIAI models
  • MetaMeta AI

Individual certifications held by members of our team. They do not imply a commercial partnership with each brand.

What can you automate with n8n?

Almost any process that depends on moving data from one system to another. n8n ships with connectors for many apps, and where there isn't one, it connects through APIs or webhooks. For example:

  • Orders from your store or inbox that are entered into the ERP automatically.
  • Leads from web forms and WhatsApp that are created and assigned in the CRM.
  • Invoices and receipts that are read, validated and filed in the right place.
  • Recurring reports that are built and sent without anyone touching them.
  • Alerts to your team when a number falls outside the expected range.

How do AI agents work inside n8n?

n8n includes AI nodes that let a language model read an email, classify a request or decide which tool to call within a workflow. That way one workflow can combine deterministic steps (look up, record, notify) with steps that require understanding text.

We build them with the same guardrails as any AI agent: least-privilege access to each system, usage limits and human approval before payments, customer-facing messages or important data changes.

n8n Cloud or self-hosted n8n?

Both are valid; the right choice depends on your data and your team:

  • n8n Cloud: a faster start with no servers to manage.
  • Self-hosted in your cloud (AWS or another provider): data stays in your infrastructure and you control networking, access and backups.
  • Either way, we review the n8n license terms that apply to how you plan to use it.

How do you keep workflows secure and reliable?

A workflow that fails silently is worse than no workflow at all. Every implementation includes:

  • Credentials stored in n8n's credential manager, never hardcoded in workflows, with role-based access.
  • Error handling, retries and alerts when something breaks.
  • Execution monitoring and logs so you can see what ran and when.
  • Workflow versions kept in a repository, with separate staging and production environments.
  • Documentation and training so your team can maintain everything.

What's it like working with a nearshore n8n team?

We're based in Bogotá, Colombia, in a time zone aligned with US Eastern and Central time, so build sessions and support happen in real time, in English.

When is n8n the right tool, and when isn't it?

Tools like Zapier or Make work well for connecting cloud apps with simple workflows. n8n tends to be a better fit when you need one or more of the following:

  • Data that stays inside your own infrastructure, by self-hosting in your cloud.
  • Logic with lots of branching, loops or custom code steps.
  • Connections to internal systems or an ERP with no connector on other platforms.
  • Traditional automation and AI agents working together in one workflow.

Frequently asked questions

Do we need developers to use n8n?

Not for day-to-day use. The editor is visual; we handle the technical setup and train your team to adjust workflows.

Can n8n connect to WhatsApp?

Yes, through the official WhatsApp Business Platform. If you want automated customer conversations on that channel, see our WhatsApp AI agents.

Where does our data live?

If n8n is self-hosted in your cloud, data stays in your infrastructure. We sign an NDA and follow your security policies.

Can you audit or fix n8n workflows we already have?

Yes. We review security, error handling and structure in your existing workflows and recommend what to fix first.
