After self-hosting n8n for over a year and managing 20+ services on a single Hetzner server, I have built a collection of workflows that save me and my clients thousands of euros every month.
Here are the 5 most valuable ones, ready to import into your n8n instance.
1. DSGVO Website Compliance Monitor
Problem: German websites face fines up to 50,000 EUR for GDPR violations. Checking client sites manually is tedious.
Solution: A daily automated check that scans your client websites for:
- Missing Impressum
- Missing Datenschutzerklaerung
- No cookie consent banner
- Google Analytics without consent tool
- Google Fonts (VG Wiesbaden ruling risk!)
When an issue is found, you get a Slack alert. Everything is logged to Google Sheets.
Real impact: I charge 49 EUR/month per client for this monitoring. With 10 clients, that is 490 EUR/month recurring for a workflow that runs automatically.
2. Lead Capture to Google Sheets to Slack
Problem: Website leads get lost in email inboxes or forgotten spreadsheets.
Solution: A webhook-based lead capture that validates data, saves to Google Sheets, and instantly alerts you on Slack.
Works with any form. Just POST to the webhook URL.
3. Client Website Uptime Monitor
Problem: Clients call you AFTER their site has been down for hours.
Solution: Every-5-minute health checks with Slack alerts when something goes wrong. Tracks status codes, response times, and body sizes. All logged for monthly client reports.
4. WordPress Auto-Backup to Google Drive
Problem: WordPress sites break. Backups are boring. Clients do not do them.
Solution: Daily 2am SSH + WP-CLI backup, zipped and uploaded to Google Drive. Database + wp-content, one file per day.
5. Google Reviews Auto Follow-Up
Problem: Happy customers do not leave reviews. Unhappy ones do.
Solution: Automated email sequence with initial request and 3-day follow-up.
