You sold "automation" and nobody in-house can build it
Agencies are now posting their own "hiring an n8n / automation specialist" threads on the n8n community jobs board. The demand is client-side. The capacity often isn't.
FOR AGENCIES · WHITE-LABEL
White-label automation engineering for agencies
Your clients want automations. Your team is marketers and designers, not engineers. I build the workflows behind your name, under NDA, at a fixed price, and your agency keeps the client.
I am a software and automation engineer working remotely from the Philippines. I build in n8n, Node and plain APIs, connecting GoHighLevel, HubSpot, ActiveCampaign, forms, sheets and Slack, and I add AI steps with Gemini and Whisper where they earn their place. I have built and run multi-workflow automation systems in production, including inside an AI automation agency's own stack, and I host my own production infrastructure. As a partner you get one engineer who scopes in writing, builds to that scope, documents everything and hands it over. Start with one paid pilot build for one of your clients. If it goes well, we talk about the next one.

SOUND FAMILIAR?
Where the money leaks
Reporting eats your account managers' week
WordStream's State of the Agency report found about a third of agencies spend 1–5 hours per client, every week, on client reporting. At 15 clients that is a part-time job.
Your clients' leads go cold before anyone calls
An HBR analysis of inbound leads found firms that responded within an hour were nearly 7× as likely to qualify the lead. When the client's campaign "doesn't work", slow follow-up is often the real cause.
Freelancers vanish and leave a black box
A Zap or scenario nobody else understands becomes your problem the day it breaks. Without written docs and access in your accounts, you can't support what you resold.
WHAT I BUILD
Automations that fix it
Client onboarding intake
One form submission creates the contact in the right GHL sub-account or HubSpot, opens the project task in ClickUp or Asana, spins up a Slack channel and posts the kickoff brief.
What changes: New clients are set up the same way every time, without anyone copying and pasting.
Weekly client report drafts
Pulls GA4, ad-platform and CRM pipeline numbers per client and writes a plain-English summary into the account manager's inbox for review.
What changes: AMs edit a draft instead of building a report from scratch.
Speed-to-lead for client accounts
Routes each lead to the right client account, texts the lead within seconds, pings the rep and escalates if nobody has touched it in 10 minutes.
What changes: Your clients' campaigns get measured on leads that were actually worked.
CRM clean-up and sync
Dedupes contacts, fixes tags and pipelines, and keeps GHL, HubSpot or ActiveCampaign in step with the client's booking, billing or e-commerce tool.
What changes: One accurate record per customer, so automations stop misfiring.
AI intake and triage
Gemini or Whisper steps that summarise calls, classify inbound enquiries or draft first replies, always with a human approval step before anything is sent.
What changes: Faster responses without handing your clients' brand to an unreviewed bot.

EVIDENCE / HONEST VERSION
What I can show you
I don't have an agency partner to quote yet, so here is the work itself. GrowthOS is an onboarding and analytics platform I architected for an in-house growth product. It merges web-form, AI-chat and AI-phone intake into one client record and runs a six-stage onboarding pipeline across n8n, NocoDB and GoHighLevel. The catalog engine enriches 243,000 SKUs through a deterministic API, and 26,420 rows were corrected across 16 defect categories. AG Bridge is an authenticated API gateway that keeps AI keys out of an agency platform's front end. Across these systems I have 267 recorded n8n executions and 14 workflows validated end to end. I also run my own production stack on self-hosted Docker behind Cloudflare. The case studies below show the architecture and the numbers I measured.

BEFORE YOU BOOK
Common questions
Is it really white-label? Will your name show up anywhere?
Yes, it is white-label. I sign your NDA before seeing client details. I build in accounts your agency or client owns, and the docs and videos carry your branding or none. I won't contact or solicit your clients, during the work or after it.
Who talks to the client?
You do, by default. I work from your brief and join a client call only if you ask, introduced however you like, for example as "our automation engineer".
What does it cost?
The public prices are a $150 audit, builds from $1,500 and a $500/mo care plan. The first pilot build is billed at the published price. After that, partner pricing is on request and depends on volume. Every build is quoted fixed before work starts.
I'm in the Philippines. What does that mean for timezone and response time?
I usually reply within a few hours, and we agree a regular overlap window with your team (US, UK or AU hours) at the start. Response times for care-plan fixes are written into the partner agreement. Everything is written down in the shared doc, so time zones don't block progress.
What if you disappear?
Then you still have everything. Workflows live in your accounts or your repo, credentials stay yours, and each build ships with a runbook, a walkthrough video and an exportable copy of every workflow. Another engineer could pick it up from the docs alone.

Where is your business losing
leads or hours?
Tell me what happens today and what keeps going wrong. I reply with times for a 45-minute audit call; you get a written fix list with fixed prices, and the $150 is credited against any build.
