n8n Freelancers: Do you deliver JSON workflows or build directly in client’s n8n?
Hey everyone 👋Quick question for people freelancing with n8n.
When delivering client work, what’s your standard delivery approach?
- Do you usually build directly inside the client’s n8n instance (credentials, env vars, testing included)?
- Or do you export and send the workflow JSON for the client to import?
- Or a hybrid approach (core logic as JSON + setup guidance)?
I’m trying to standardize my delivery process for Upwork/client projects and want to balance:
- Professionalism
- Client convenience
- Protecting reusable workflow logic
Would love to hear:
- What clients expect in your experience
- What caused problems (import issues, reuse, scope creep)
- What you now do as a “default best practice”
Thanks 🙏
