n8n Automation Services

I spent today debugging a dropshipping automation I built with n8n — and found something that taught me more than any tutorial could.

My workflow pulled products from a supplier API, scored them by sales performance, then auto-listed the winners to Shopify with AI-generated descriptions. Simple enough.

Except every single product had a sales count of exactly 0. Every time. The filter kept rejecting everything.

Turns out the API call was using an invalid sort parameter that silently failed, so it defaulted to sorting by "newest" instead of "most popular." New products obviously have zero sales, I wasn't filtering for trending items, I was filtering for items that couldn't possibly pass.

Fixed the parameter, and suddenly I had real signal: products with thousands of listings from other sellers, real demand data, everything the workflow was supposed to find in the first place.

The lesson that stuck with me: when automation "fails" silently instead of throwing an error, always check whether you're measuring the right thing before you start tweaking thresholds.

Now offering this as a service — building n8n automations for e-commerce and small business owners who want to stop doing repetitive tasks by hand. Happy to talk shop if anyone's working on something similar.
