Claude + n8n: Automations That Run Without You

Most people automate the wrong half of the job.

n8n is very good at one thing: moving data reliably when something happens. Claude is very good at a different thing: reading messy input and making a judgement call about it.

Put the second inside the first and you get automations that survive real customers.

A form fill scored and routed before you wake up,
A missed call texted back in 60 seconds,
Receipts read and filed into your books,
Call transcripts turned into CRM updates and tasks,
Stalled proposals chased with a real follow-up, not a check-in 🔥

I wrote up ten of them. Trigger, node-by-node flow, the actual prompt for the AI step, and the failure mode that will bite you.

Plus how to self-host n8n on a VPS for about six quid a month.

Free. No email wall.
