Process mapping
We map the task as it runs today: trigger, tools, data, decisions and who is responsible.
AI and automation
1920 Agency provides AI and workflow automation services for small and mid-size businesses. We build workflows in n8n, Make, Zapier and GoHighLevel that capture leads, follow up automatically, update your CRM, send reports and use AI models such as ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini for drafting and sorting, with a person approving anything important.
01 · Who it is for
| Tools | n8n, Make, Zapier, GoHighLevel, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini |
|---|---|
| Best for | Repeat tasks with clear steps |
| First workflow live | Usually in 2-4 weeks |
| Always included | Error alerts, logs and documentation |
02 · What is included
Every engagement is scoped in writing. These are the parts we usually include; we leave out what you do not need.
We map the task as it runs today: trigger, tools, data, decisions and who is responsible.
Forms, ads and chats into your CRM, with instant replies by email, SMS or WhatsApp and reminders for your team.
Pipelines, calendars, forms, workflows and automations configured for how you sell.
Built on the tool that fits your volume, budget and data rules, including self-hosted n8n.
Classifying enquiries, drafting replies, summarising calls or documents, with human approval where it matters.
Daily or weekly numbers from ads, CRM and sales delivered to Slack, email or a sheet.
Alerts when something fails, retry rules and a log of what each run did.
Moving existing Zapier or Make flows to n8n or another tool when cost or control demands it.
03 · How it works
Typical timescales. Yours depend on access, content and how quickly decisions are made.
We pick one task worth automating and map it step by step with the person who does it.
We decide what is automated, where a person approves, and what happens when something fails.
We build the workflow and test it with real examples, including the awkward ones.
You get documentation, alerts and a way to pause the flow. We watch the first weeks closely.
04 · What we do differently
The common problem with small-business automations is not building them; it is that they break silently. An API changes, a form field is renamed, a token expires, and leads stop reaching the CRM for a week before anyone notices.
Every workflow we build has error alerts, sensible retries and a run log, and AI steps that affect customers have a human approval point. We run our own agency the same way: daily reports, ad checks and SEO monitoring post to our team channels and raise an alert when something fails.

| Self-hosting | Yes | No | No |
| Learning curve | Steeper | Medium | Easiest |

Our own operations run on these tools: daily SEO monitoring, ad performance checks and reports that post to our team channels. We can walk you through a workflow similar to the one you need.

A repeated task with clear steps that costs time or loses money when it is slow, such as replying to new leads, booking reminders, or copying form entries into the CRM. Start with one, measure it, then add the next. See how to automate lead follow-up.
Yes: pipelines, calendars, forms, workflows, SMS and email follow-up. We are an independent agency, not a HighLevel partner or reseller. See our GoHighLevel setup service.
Zapier is quickest for simple connections, Make suits visual multi-step scenarios, and n8n is best for high volume, custom logic or when you want to self-host. We recommend one after mapping your task. Our n8n vs Make vs Zapier comparison prices one workflow on all three.
It can be, with care: we send only the data a step needs, choose providers and settings that fit your rules, and keep a person approving customer-facing output.
It removes repetitive work so your team can spend time on customers and decisions. Judgment calls stay with people.
You get an alert, the run is logged and failed items can be retried. With ongoing support, we fix it for you.
Yes. We rebuild them in n8n, run both side by side for testing, then switch over. At higher volumes this often lowers monthly costs.
Yes. They run in your accounts or on a server in your name, with documentation so another developer could maintain them.
