Companies using several applications
Your team copies information between systems, checks incoming requests manually or sends the same notifications repeatedly. Connect these steps into a manageable workflow.

n8n Development
Connect Odoo, messaging platforms, advertising accounts and other business applications. We develop custom n8n workflows that move information between systems, apply your business rules and trigger the next action.
From process specification to deployment and documented handover.
Our own way of working
Automation we use ourselves
ERPixel uses n8n for its own business processes and recommends it to clients when it fits their requirements. Our experience includes connecting Odoo with external services and AI-assisted workflows. We start with the process: what should trigger it, which information it needs and where the result belongs.

- Input data
- Business rules
- Connected systems

Who this is for
When work moves between applications
Businesses extending Odoo
Connect external data, AI agents, Telegram, WhatsApp and advertising platforms to the ERP processes your team already uses.
Teams introducing AI into operations
Analyse requests, extract document information or recommend the next action—and deliver the result into the application where work continues.
Companies improving existing n8n workflows
Extend integrations, clarify workflow logic and improve error handling or maintenance of an existing automation.
The platform
What is n8n?
n8n is a visual workflow automation platform that connects applications, APIs and data sources. A workflow starts with an event, an incoming request or a schedule, then retrieves information, checks conditions, transforms data and performs actions. The visual editor makes the process easier to understand. With preparation, business users can manage straightforward settings; complex integrations and production operation still benefit from technical expertise.
A practical example
From an enquiry to the next sales action
Website

Applications and data sources
What can you connect with n8n?
We select integrations around your process, using available nodes, webhooks or direct API connections. These are integration options to assess: available operations depend on the provider’s API, subscription, permissions and usage limits.

Our practical work
n8n automation around real business tasks
Examples of work performed by ERPixel. The exact sources, actions and approval rules are defined for each project.
Lead enrichment and company research
Collect information from multiple permitted sources and add useful context to an Odoo CRM record. Help salespeople prepare without repeating the same research manually.
Call analysis and sales recommendations
Analyse available call transcripts and CRM history, recommend the next sales action and create follow-up activities in Odoo.
Explore our CRM automation experienceMeta and Facebook lead workflows
Transfer incoming leads into CRM, enrich their records, notify the responsible team and trigger agreed follow-up communication.
Supplier invoice processing
Extract invoice information, compare it with available payment data and prepare records in Odoo. Route discrepancies and uncertain results to a person for review.
What ERPixel delivers
Custom n8n development from process to handover
Process discovery and specification
Describe the trigger, inputs, rules, actions and expected result. Agree how missing information, exceptions and approvals should be handled before development begins.
Workflow and custom logic development
Configure nodes, conditions, data transformations and connections. Assess direct API calls or custom development where standard nodes do not cover the requirement.
Odoo and application integration
Define which system owns each field, how records are matched and when updates happen. Address duplicate prevention and conflicting changes.
Credentials and configuration
Configure connections using authorised accounts and appropriate permissions. Keep secrets in designated credential settings rather than workflow descriptions.
Testing and operational controls
The agreed scope can include validation, retries, error notifications, duplicate prevention and human approval before sensitive actions.
Documentation and handover
Receive the workflow description, configuration notes and guidance for routine changes. Your team can adjust documented settings; integration logic changes may require technical assistance.
Start with one process
Which task should your team stop repeating?
Tell us what starts the process, which applications are involved and what result you expect. We will assess the integration requirements.
Deployment and operation
n8n hosting for your workflows
ERPixel offers hosting and deployment services for n8n. We agree the deployment model, resources, access and operating responsibilities before launch, taking your data requirements and the applicable n8n licence into account. Hosting may be included at no additional charge for an agreed period or quoted separately. Your proposal states what is included and what ongoing charges apply.
Project budget
How much does n8n development cost?
Cost depends on the systems involved, process complexity, API availability, data quality and operational requirements. We separate implementation from ongoing expenses.
Process discovery and specification
Hourly work to document the automation and agree how the process should operate, including exceptions and acceptance criteria.
Workflow and integration development
A fixed price for an agreed scope or hourly delivery. The estimate covers required nodes, custom API work, data transformations and testing.
AI and external API usage
Provider charges are normally paid directly by the client. An API key gives access; requests, messages, document processing and AI tokens may carry separate usage charges.
Hosting
Included for a defined period or charged separately, as stated in the proposal. We agree resources and operating responsibilities before deployment.
Software subscriptions and licences
Applicable n8n and connected application plans, including Odoo or other software subscriptions and API access where required.
Ongoing maintenance
Separately agreed work for monitoring, updates and workflow changes. We define who responds to failures and maintains connections after handover.

n8n development: practical questions
Can you integrate n8n with our existing Odoo system?
Yes. We assess your Odoo version, hosting model, customisations and available API access, then choose the appropriate integration approach.
Can you connect an application without a ready-made n8n node?
Often, yes, if it provides a suitable API or webhook. We check authentication, available operations and limitations before confirming the work.
Can our employees change the workflow themselves?
They can manage documented settings and straightforward steps after an introduction. More substantial changes can affect data mapping, permissions or connected systems and should be tested before release.
What happens if an external service is unavailable?
We agree the required behaviour during specification. Depending on the process, this can include retries, alerts, delayed processing or manual intervention.
Can an AI agent update Odoo automatically?
It can be given access to specific operations. We define permitted actions and where validation or human approval is required, particularly for financial or customer-facing changes.
Do we need Odoo to work with ERPixel?
No. We can develop n8n workflows between other applications. Odoo integration is one of our areas of expertise.
Can you improve an existing n8n workflow?
Yes. We can review its logic, connections and execution failures, then agree the changes needed.
Are hosting and AI tokens included in development?
The proposal separates development, hosting, software subscriptions and usage charges. Hosting may be included for an agreed period; external AI and API usage is normally paid directly by the client.
