AI Automation & n8n Workflows · From $997

Scale Operations Without
Adding Headcount.

n8n workflows, CRM integrations, AI-powered chatbots, and business process automation. I build automations that eliminate repetitive work and connect your systems. Without Zapier's per-task pricing.

Discuss Your Automation

AI automation by Luciano Bonanno means n8n workflows that connect your CRM, email platform, e-commerce store, and custom APIs into automated pipelines that run without human intervention. Projects start at $997 per workflow for well-defined automations. Having built Dropship.ai (tracking 2M+ Shopify stores) and SameAPI (website traffic intelligence platform), I build automation with the reliability standards required for production business systems, not demo prototypes.

01

What You Get

n8n Workflow Design & Build

Custom n8n workflows for lead capture, data enrichment, order processing, reporting automation, and any repetitive task that currently requires human action. Built with proper error handling, retry logic, and failure notifications, not fragile prototypes that break on the first edge case.

CRM & Platform Integrations

Connection of disparate systems: HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Notion, Airtable, Shopify, WooCommerce, Stripe, and any platform with a REST API. I map the data flow, handle authentication, and implement bidirectional sync where required. Full documentation of every integration delivered.

AI-Powered Workflows

Integration of Claude, GPT-4o, or open-source models for content generation, email drafting, data classification, sentiment analysis, and document extraction. AI nodes are built into n8n workflows as components within a larger automation pipeline, not standalone tools requiring manual operation.

Lead Qualification Chatbots

Chatbots for website lead qualification, WhatsApp Business, or Telegram. Connected to your CRM so qualified leads flow directly into your sales process. Built with AI for natural language understanding and human handoff protocols for complex queries. I build these on n8n, not closed SaaS platforms you cannot modify.

Marketing Automation Sequences

Behavioural email sequences triggered by specific actions (signup, purchase, abandonment, product view). Multi-platform workflows connecting your email platform, CRM, and ecommerce store. Conditional logic based on user attributes and behaviour, not just time-based sequences.

Maintenance & Monitoring

Optional monthly maintenance retainer covering API updates when third-party platforms change their integrations, bug fixes, minor modifications, and monitoring alerts when workflows fail silently. Automation debt accumulates. Having someone who built your workflows maintaining them prevents costly failures.

02

My Approach to Automation

I use Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor in my own daily work, not as novelties, but as production tools that handle real tasks. I build automations the same way I use AI tools: with clear boundaries on what they should and should not do, robust error handling for edge cases, and human oversight built into the workflow where it matters.

Most automation projects fail for one of three reasons: the requirements were not mapped precisely enough before building, the workflow has no error handling so failures are silent and destructive, or the system was built by someone who does not understand the business process being automated. I start every project with a discovery session to map the exact input → process → output of the automation before writing a single node.

n8n is my primary tool because it combines visual workflow design (fast to build and modify), JavaScript execution nodes (for complex logic that cannot be handled visually), self-hosted deployment (your data stays on your infrastructure), and a rapidly growing integration library that now covers most major business platforms.

For SEO and marketing clients, automation unlocks significant leverage: content publishing workflows that move from first draft to formatted, scheduled blog post without manual intervention; lead capture pipelines that enrich, score, and route leads to the right sales person in seconds; and reporting workflows that pull from GA4, Ahrefs, and Google Search Console into a weekly email summary.

The business context matters as much as the technical execution. Having built and scaled SaaS products (Dropship.ai tracking 2M+ stores, SameAPI's website traffic intelligence platform), I understand how automation fails at scale, and I build with those failure modes in mind from the start.

Who This Is For

My AI automation service is designed for growing ecommerce brands, SaaS companies, and marketing agencies that are spending significant time on repetitive tasks that should be automated. The ideal client has a clear manual process they want to automate, the technical infrastructure to support automation (APIs, webhooks), and an understanding that automation requires upfront investment before delivering ongoing returns.

I work best when the automation problem is well-defined. If you can describe what triggers the process, what steps happen, and what the output should be, I can build it. If you are not sure yet what you want automated, I can scope a discovery workshop where we map your operational bottlenecks and identify the highest-ROI automation opportunities.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is n8n and why do you use it?
n8n is an open-source workflow automation platform. Similar to Zapier or Make, but far more powerful for complex logic and custom integrations. It runs self-hosted (on your own server) or on n8n.cloud, giving you full ownership of your data and no per-task pricing that makes Zapier expensive at scale. I have been building n8n workflows since its early days and have deep expertise in its capabilities and limitations.
What types of automation do you build?
Lead capture and nurture sequences, CRM data enrichment, order processing and fulfillment notifications, AI-powered content workflows, chatbots for lead qualification, multi-platform data synchronization, automated reporting and analytics aggregation, and custom API integrations between platforms that do not natively connect.
Do you need access to my systems?
Yes. Automation requires API credentials and limited access to the platforms being connected. I work within your security protocols: API keys with minimum necessary permissions, no storage of sensitive credentials beyond the automation environment, and full documentation of every integration built so you retain ownership and understanding.
How much does an automation project cost?
From $997 per workflow for well-defined automations. Complex multi-system integrations with AI processing, conditional logic, and error handling typically range from $1,500–$5,000. I provide a fixed-price quote after a discovery call where we map the exact requirements. No open-ended hourly billing.
Do you also handle ongoing maintenance?
Yes. Automations break when third-party APIs change or when your business processes evolve. Ongoing maintenance can be quoted separately and may cover bug fixes, API updates, minor modifications, and monitoring alerts when workflows fail.
Can you integrate AI into my existing workflows?
Yes. I integrate Claude, ChatGPT (GPT-4o), and open-source models like Llama into n8n workflows for tasks like: content generation and formatting, email response drafting, data classification and tagging, sentiment analysis, and document extraction. AI augments workflows. It does not replace the need for proper workflow design.
I already use Zapier. Why switch to n8n?
Zapier is fine for simple, low-volume automations. For complex business logic (conditional branches, loops, error handling), large data volumes, or sensitive data (where you want self-hosted), n8n is significantly better. The other reason: Zapier pricing scales with tasks. At $5,000/mo Zapier spend, n8n self-hosted is effectively free beyond infrastructure.
Do you build customer-facing chatbots?
Yes. I build chatbots for lead qualification, support FAQ answering, appointment booking, and product recommendation. Typically integrating with your website, WhatsApp Business API, or Telegram. These are built on n8n with AI backends (typically GPT-4o or Claude) and connect to your CRM or booking system.
