Why n8n for this
Idempotency is the difference between a safe replay and a duplicate invoice. We build it in from the first connector.
n8n is strongest at self-hosting keeps data in your control, and custom code nodes escape the no-code ceiling. For workflow & integration automation that matters because the failure modes of this kind of system tend to cluster exactly there.
The honest trade-off: complex logic outgrows the visual builder and belongs in application code. We say that up front because a stack chosen for fashion rather than fit becomes someone's migration project two years later. Every engagement opens with a measurement: the cycle time, the cost per transaction, or the error rate we are being asked to move.
We hand over with runbooks, tests and a team that knows how it works, not a dependency.

Questions
Do you use tools like n8n and Zapier, or custom code?
Both, chosen by fit. Off-the-shelf automation is right for straightforward flows; custom code earns its keep once volume, error handling or logic complexity grows.
What if a system has no API?
There is usually a path, database access, file exchange, or a supported export. We assess feasibility before quoting rather than after.
Who maintains it afterwards?
You do, and we write the runbook and documentation to make that realistic. We also offer a managed retainer if you would rather we kept it.
