n8n, the engine behind our automations, with or without AI

n8n connects your tools and chains tasks for you: an order, an invoice or a request comes in, and the rest happens with no re-typing. We use it for our own companies and install it on your server, with no per-operation bill.

What it is

n8n is an automation platform: a process is drawn as connected blocks, a trigger then actions, and it runs on its own. It connects to hundreds of services, talks to any tool that has an API, and takes code or an AI model when a rule is not enough. Its code is public, under a licence that lets a company host it for its own needs.

A Palmora listing on mobile, with its internal reference CON-SAL-CPP-26-0001 below the property details
On Palmora, each property’s reference (here CON-SAL-CPP-26-0001) is assigned by an n8n workflow as soon as it enters the CRM.

Why we chose it

No per-operation bill

Self-hosted, it costs only the server it runs on. Volume grows, the bill does not.

AI only where it helps

Most steps follow simple rules. AI comes in only to read, sort or write, with the right-sized model and a capped cost.

Nothing breaks silently

Every run leaves a trace, and an error alerts someone instead of sleeping in a log.

Your data stays with you

Information flows between your tools without going through a third party that bills by usage.

How we use it ourselves

  • On Palmora, a workflow gives an internal reference to every new property entered in the CRM.
  • An agent records our expenses from Telegram: no more spreadsheet to fill in.
  • Our online shop receives its summaries every day.
  • Our scheduled tasks watch themselves: an alert goes out if one of them has not checked in for 30 hours.
  • And when a simple scheduled task is enough, like the daily sync between the Palmora site and its CRM, we do without n8n.

How we install it for you

  1. Scoping

    We watch the task with the person who does it today, and we choose what deserves to be automated, with or without AI.

  2. Installation

    n8n installed on your server, in your name, with its backups and its access rights.

  3. Build

    The workflow built and tested on your data, with the old way of working kept as a fallback.

  4. Follow-up

    Alerts, a history of every run, the monthly cost in plain sight, and a checkpoint at 30 days.

Frequently asked questions

Why n8n rather than Make or Zapier?

Make and Zapier bill per operation: the more your business grows, the higher the bill. n8n runs on your side for the price of the server, and your data does not pass through a third party. It is our default choice, not an exclusive one.

Does every automation need AI?

No, and it is often the opposite. A simple rule is safer and cheaper than a model. We put AI where a rule is no longer enough, like reading an invoice or understanding a request written in free text.

Who looks after it once delivered?

Your team, trained and documented, or us, with monthly monitoring: alerts, fixes and changes.
