I've spent 10 years managing IT projects, and since 2023 I've built 59+ automations for businesses across the DACH region. That combination is the point: I scope before I build, document everything, and plan for the moment most automations break – month 3.

Credentials:

  • Make.com certified
  • n8n and Zapier expert, AI agents on Make.com and n8n
  • 10 years IT project management (PRINCE2, SAFe, Scrum Master, FinOps)

Why a project manager builds better automations

1. I scope before I build – you get the right automation level, not the most expensive one. 2. I document everything – you're never dependent on me. 3. I plan for month 3 – error handling, monitoring and handover are part of every build.

How I work

Four clear steps from the first call to a running automation – with a fixed price before I build.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about automation with Make.com, Zapier and N8N

Common questions

How much does a Make.com or Zapier automation cost?

The cost depends on the complexity of the workflow. Simple automations (1 scenario, 2 apps) start from €30–140. More complex systems with multiple scenarios, API connections or DACH-specific tools like Lexoffice or Bexio typically range from €200–800. For larger projects I give you a fixed quote after a free 15-minute check.

Can you build an AI agent for my business?

Yes. I build AI agents for lead qualification, sales follow-up, document and invoice processing, and internal knowledge search. Most run on Make.com or n8n with Claude or OpenAI handling the reasoning step, and connect directly to the CRM, inbox and tools you already use. A first working agent typically takes 5–10 working days.

What is the difference between an automation and an AI agent?

A classic automation follows fixed rules: when this happens, do that. An AI agent adds judgement. It can read unstructured input like an email or a PDF, decide what it means, and choose between several actions. In practice I combine both: deterministic steps where reliability matters, and an AI step only where judgement is genuinely needed.

Do you build AI agents with n8n or Make.com?

Both. I use n8n when the data must stay inside the EU or on your own servers, when costs need to scale without per-operation pricing, or when the logic is complex. I use Make.com when speed of delivery and easy handover matter more. I recommend the platform after scoping the process, not before.

Is it GDPR compliant to use AI agents with customer data?

It can be, and I build for that. I use EU-hosted or self-hosted n8n where personal data is involved, restrict what is sent to any language model to the minimum needed, avoid providers that train on submitted data, and document the data flow so it can go into your Verzeichnis von Verarbeitungstätigkeiten. Where a decision affects a customer, a person approves it.

How much does an AI agent cost?

A single-purpose agent, for example lead qualification or follow-up drafting, typically lands between 600 and 3,500 EUR depending on how many systems it touches and how much validation it needs. Running costs are usually 10 to 120 EUR per month in platform and model usage. I quote a fixed price after a free 15-minute check.

Can an AI agent connect to our CRM, inbox and existing tools?

Yes. I connect HubSpot, Pipedrive, ActiveCampaign, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Slack, Notion, Airtable and DACH tools including Lexoffice, sevDesk, Bexio and Personio. If a tool has an API it can be connected, and if it doesn't, I usually find a workable route through email, webhooks or file exchange.

How long does it take to build an automation?

Simple automations are ready within 3–5 days. More complex projects with multiple apps and custom logic take 5–10 days. For larger systems we agree on the exact timeline together during the free check.

Which tools and apps can be automated?

With Make.com, Zapier and n8n over 2,000 apps can be connected — including Gmail, Slack, HubSpot, Airtable, Google Sheets, Trello, Jira, Notion and many more. I have specialist experience with DACH-specific tools including Lexoffice, Bexio, sevDesk and Personio.

Do I need technical knowledge to use an automation?

No. I build the automation completely for you and deliver clear documentation with every project. After handover you can monitor the automation yourself — no coding knowledge required.

What is the difference between Make.com, Zapier and n8n?

Zapier is the easiest to use and ideal for straightforward workflows. Make.com offers more flexibility for complex multi-step scenarios with advanced logic. n8n is open source and particularly suitable for privacy-conscious businesses, as it can be self-hosted — so no data is sent to external servers. I advise you free of charge on which tool fits your use case best.

Are the automations GDPR compliant?

Yes. I build every automation with GDPR compliance in mind. For particularly data-sensitive processes I recommend n8n with self-hosting, so no data is passed to external servers.

Do you offer ongoing support after the project is delivered?

Yes – that's Automation Care. Every month I monitor your automations, fix errors before you notice them, make small changes and send you a one-page report. Cancel anytime, and you keep all documentation.

Can Jira, Trello or Confluence also be automated?

Yes — this is one of my core skills. As an experienced IT project manager I not only set up your Atlassian workspace but also automate recurring tasks in it — for example automatic card updates, status notifications or reporting.

How do I get started if I'm not sure what to automate?

No problem. Book my free 15-minute automation check. In this call I show you which processes in your business can be automated right away, how much time you can reclaim each month and which tools fit your business best.

Do you only work with companies in Munich or across the whole DACH region?

I'm based in Munich but work with companies across Germany, Austria and Switzerland. All projects are delivered remotely — calls take place via video.

Your question isn't listed here?
