Need some guidance on a client project. If I'm building a lead automation system using n8n for a client, whose n8n account/workspace should ideally be used? 1. The client's own n8n account/workspace 2. My own n8n account/workspace (while charging a monthly retainer for maintenance) 3. I'm trying to understand the industry best practice here, especially from the perspectives of ownership, security, long-term maintenance, and client handover. How do you usually handle this with your clients?

built something I've been wanting to set up for a while. Got my personal AI Operating System running on Claude Code today. The AIS-OS kit from Nate's masterclass. Took a few hours to get through it properly but it's live now. Here's what it can actually do at this point: Connected my Gmail and Google Drive so it can pull live data without me pasting anything. Set up Playwright browser automation so it can interact with the web on my behalf. Built a /post-to-skool skill that lets me generate and publish posts directly from my terminal. Filled out all my context files so it knows my business, my ICP, my voice, and my 90-day goal. The Four Cs framework made this click for me. Context first. Then connections. Capabilities on top of that. Cadence last. I was tempted to jump ahead but the dependency order matters. What surprised me most: having everything in one place that knows my actual business context changes how I think. Instead of opening six tabs, my first move is now to ask the AIOS. That's the shift Nate talks about and I felt it today. Still no clients. That's the next problem to solve. But the foundation is there now.

I scheduled and optimized the automation workflows I previously built during this challenge. Sharing a few screenshots of the progress and implementation.

— Here's What It Does Most businesses lose 70–80% of their leads simply because no one follows up consistently. I built a solution for that. Over the past few weeks I designed and implemented a complete bulk lead management system using n8n, Google Sheets, Gmail, Tally and Slack — no expensive CRM required. Here's what the system does end to end: 📥 Lead Capture & Qualification Leads arrive from a Tally form via webhook. The system instantly normalises the data, validates emails, detects duplicates and blocks them before they enter the pipeline. 🎯 Intelligent Lead Scoring Every lead is automatically scored out of 100 based on three signals — budget, company size and job title seniority. Leads are then tiered into High, Mid and Low priority without any human involvement. ⚡ Instant Routing & Personalised Emails High-score leads get a VIP welcome email within seconds of submitting — while the sales team gets an immediate Slack alert. Mid and low tier leads receive tailored nurture emails matched to their stage. 🔄 Automated Follow-up Sequence A scheduled workflow runs daily and sends up to 3 personalised follow-up emails per lead — each one different in tone and content. The system tracks every send, updates the pipeline automatically and stops when a lead replies or completes the sequence. 💬 Reply Detection When a lead replies to any email, the system detects it instantly, updates their status in the pipeline, stops further automated follow-ups and alerts the sales team on Slack with the lead's full context and message preview. 📊 Daily Digest Every weekday morning the team receives a Slack digest showing total leads, tier breakdown, average score, sequence completion rate and new leads added that day. The tech stack: → n8n for workflow automation → Tally for form capture → Google Sheets as the lead database → Gmail for automated email sequences → Slack for real-time sales alerts and daily digest → Google Looker Studio for pipeline dashboard (in progress) The result :

Day 7 was a great learning experience as I successfully built my own personal executive assistant. One of its first capabilities is identifying leads within a specific domain and generating personalized first-outreach messages for sales and client engagement. Excited to continue improving and expanding its capabilities further.
