Automation & Integrations

Zapier / Make / n8n Integration

We make your product integration-ready for automation tools like Zapier, Make, and n8n. That means clean webhooks, stable event schemas, retries, and auth patterns—so customer workflows don’t break.

Overview

What this service is

This service designs and implements the integration layer that automation platforms depend on: events, webhooks, auth, and predictable payloads.

We prioritize reliability: idempotency, retries, signature validation, and versioning strategies for event payload changes.

If you want, we also ship pre-built workflows/templates to accelerate customer adoption.

Standard

AI delivery standard

Quality and safety practices we ship with AI builds so the system stays measurable, maintainable, and production-ready.

Logging + tracing

Conversation and tool traces with request IDs, error visibility, and debug-friendly runbooks.

Guardrails + safety

Tool allowlists, PII-safe patterns, refusal behavior, and escalation routes for edge cases.

Evals + regression tests

Golden queries, scorecards, and regression checks so quality improves over time instead of drifting.

Cost + latency controls

Caching, prompt discipline, retrieval tuning, and routing so your app stays fast and predictable at scale.

Documentation + handoff

Architecture notes, environment setup, and next-step roadmap so your team can iterate safely after launch.

Security-first integration

Secrets isolation, role-based access, audit-friendly actions, and minimal data retention by design.

Benefits

What you get

Increase product adoption via integrations

Reduce support tickets caused by brittle webhooks

Enable partner ecosystems with stable events

Ship changes safely with payload versioning

Keep integrations secure with auth and signatures

Support scale with retries and dedupe rules

Features

What we deliver

Event schema design

Define stable events and payload shapes with clear naming, versioning, and documentation.

Webhook delivery with retries

Reliable webhook delivery, retry strategy, and dead-letter handling to avoid silent failures.

Auth + signature validation

Secure webhook signatures, token auth, and safe secrets handling for integration endpoints.

Idempotency and dedupe

Prevent duplicates when events replay or providers retry—critical for billing and state updates.

Integration docs + examples

Developer-friendly docs, sample payloads, and quickstart examples for customers and partners.

Pre-built workflows (optional)

Ready-to-use Zapier/Make/n8n workflow templates for common customer automation use cases.

Use Cases

Who this is for

SaaS product integrations

Customer automations for leads, tasks, notifications, and data sync across tools.

Billing and subscription workflows

Event-driven automations that require idempotency and reliable delivery.

CRM and support sync

Sync contacts, tickets, and activity between your product and customer CRMs/helpdesks.

Operations automation

Internal workflows triggered by product events with audit-friendly logging.

Partner ecosystem enablement

Stable event contracts and docs that let partners integrate without constant handholding.

AI Case Examples

Micro case studies (anonymous)

A few safe examples of outcomes we build for real operations—no client names, just results.

Secure Mobile Solution in Australian Defence Ecosystem

Problem: Secure data workflows were required in a regulated environment with strict access controls.

Solution: Hardened architecture with strict auth, encrypted storage, and audit-friendly engineering patterns.

Outcome: Deployed securely within a regulated ecosystem with clear handoff and operational guidance.

AI Knowledge Base Across 2,000+ Pages

Problem: Teams needed fast answers across long PDFs, but search was slow and results were inconsistent.

Solution: RAG with hybrid retrieval and reranking, plus grounded answers and safer fallback behavior.

Outcome: Reliable answers with <10s response times and measurable improvements on real queries.

Ops Automation with AI + n8n

Problem: Manual approvals and CRM syncing created delays and data inconsistencies across tools.

Solution: Event-driven automation with validation gates and AI-assisted classification where it improved routing.

Outcome: Reduced manual workload significantly with more reliable workflows and operator visibility.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Webhooks are usually best for real-time. Polling can work for some use cases, but we typically recommend webhooks with retries and idempotency for reliability.

We use versioning strategies and backward-compatible changes so existing customer workflows don’t break.

Yes. We can build the underlying API/webhook layer and also ship templates or app integrations where appropriate.

We implement signature validation, token auth, rate limiting, and safe secrets handling for integration endpoints.

Yes. Clear docs, stable schemas, and reliable delivery patterns reduce integration-related support load.

A basic integration layer can ship in 1–3 weeks; more complex event systems take longer depending on scope.
