Automation
Bookings, leads, jobs, and payments can trigger follow-ups, invoices, and alerts on the same customer record. External tools connect through n8n. Valion stays the system of record.
Who it is for
When a booking or payment happens, the next steps can run without someone retyping into three tools.
Reminders, assignments, and follow-ups show up in the same workspace. Less chasing status in chat.
Valion owns customers, jobs, and money. n8n is the path for external fetch and transform. Signed webhooks land in Valion.
How it works
Automation is not a separate product. It reacts to what already happened in CRM, jobs, or finance.
Event
Something happens in Valion
Rules
Conditions decide what runs
Actions
Tasks, messages, invoices update
Notify
The right people get alerted
Record
Reports stay in sync
Examples
Capture, assign, and follow up without a spreadsheet handoff.
Close the loop from delivery to cash and feedback.
Purchasing sees the shortage before the shelf goes empty.
Finance and the account owner both get the nudge.
Across departments
Integration direction
Valion and n8n each have a clear job. n8n reaches outside sources and shapes the payload. Valion receives it, owns the CRM lifecycle, and keeps AI and staff on one record.

Why this model
Valion owns the business record
Customers, leads, pipeline stages, invoices, and permissions stay in Valion. That is where AI and staff work every day.
n8n fetches and transforms outside
Use n8n for Maps, Apollo, CSV, and other sources. It prepares a clean payload. It does not move your pipeline or invent customers on its own.
Signed webhooks into Valion
n8n posts versioned, signed webhooks. Valion dedupes, audits the import job, and lands records in CRM for humans and AI to use.
Self-hosted n8n runs in the Valion stack for operators who need it. Product direction stays the same: integration-only n8n, Valion as the business OS.
Control
Important steps can wait for approval. Permissions still follow the people in your workspace.
