Just a warning: this post is not for the totally tech-averse; this is probably a mid-level techie setup situation. AN OPTION FOR SETTING UP AUTOMATIONS WITHOUT A SOFTWARE SUBSCRIPTION. 🎖️ If you're tech-averse & you're setting up the automation, you should probably be using the AI that is built in with your software. 🥉If you're adverse-to-middle, you may be using zapier or make. 🥈This info is for the next level up from that - n8n I'll be adding a segment to the classroom about this (when to choose which option & benefits/drawbacks to n8n specifically), but I wanted to share this tool to get some feedback while I'm working on that. 🧟♀️🧟♂️First, this tool is kind of ugly/Design is not finished. 🧟♂️🧟 You know I'm going to make it more fun, but this is the foundation & I'd like you to try/test/tell me if it works the way you want & if there is any capability I can do to make it easier for you to use. 🪛 Next, the Tool. 🔗The link. It's a Claude artifact. You open it, and it should connect to your Claude when you open it. If you don't connect it to your own Claude, nothing will save. It is made for browser (not mobile) https://claude.ai/artifact/6Reh3SXfu4WqZmnScfmvGt ➡️Background: I created this after I joined a membership where they were going to charge me $49 for hosting my N8N. I try to reduce recurring subscription expense. ➡️Purpose of the tool: Walks a non-coder through setting up hosting your own n8n instance (on Railway) from start to finish in about 45 minutes, with no terminal or code This will cost you about $5-15/month [for unlimited runs], vs 24/month n8n Cloud starter plan (capped at 2,500 runs) vs whatever someone else charges you (ex: the $49/month I spoke about). ➡️Features: - Saves you from lost logins, leaked API keys, and surprise usage bills, because every key gets saved the right way as you go (saved somewhere safe, the way you already prefer to save things, instead of in chat, email or a random note).
