Instead of just "connecting tools", I structure systems like in the image attached. This is a high-level bookng flow inside n8n.
What I focus on:
- Validate data before creating records
- Prevent duplicate Sites, Customers, and Jobs records
- Handle API responses properly (as in the case of 'validate address' function)
- Trigger notifications only after confirmed state
- Keep relationships clean with modular workflows
Most automation fails because edge cases are ignored. I focus on building systems that works under real-world usage.
If you’re building something that needs proper structure and reliability, feel free to reach out. Happy to take on a few interesting builds.
