The Silent Engine Behind Our Automation Empire (Why We Use n8n)
You can’t scale with duct tape workflows. This is the automation engine behind our 7-figure backend.
Most people think scaling is about doing more. More offers. More team. More content.
But what if the real unlock wasn’t more? It was less friction.
That’s where n8n comes in.
It’s the tool we use to connect platforms, automate workflows, and build a backend that thinks for itself.
At Olivia Jenkins Consulting, n8n is the invisible thread that powers everything—from lead scoring to client onboarding to personalized nurture.
Here’s how we use it—and how you can too.
The Tool: What is n8n?
n8n (pronounced “n-eight-n”) is a powerful, open-source workflow automation tool.
It lets you:
-
Build custom automations between ANY tools (over 200+ apps supported)
-
Create logic-based workflows with triggers, conditions, and paths
-
Replace tools like Zapier or Make.com with deeper customization
-
Self-host or run in the cloud (great for data security)
It’s visual, flexible, and built for scale.
How We Use It Inside OJC
We use n8n to automate the “glue” between our tools:
-
Lead Scoring: ScoreApp results trigger segment tagging in GHL
-
Pipeline Syncing: Update statuses based on quiz results, call bookings, or payments
-
Course Access: Auto-enroll clients into Skool post-purchase
-
Follow-Up Logic: Trigger different email flows depending on form inputs or no-shows
-
Team Notifications: Send Slack alerts when high-value leads come through
It handles complex logic that other tools can’t.
Why It Works
n8n gives us power and precision.
-
Unlimited customization: Every scenario, mapped visually
-
Cost-effective: One-time hosting vs. growing Zapier fees
-
Secure: Great for agencies and businesses with sensitive data
-
Future-proof: Scales with your tech stack, not against it
This is not a “nice-to-have” anymore. It’s foundational infrastructure.

-
Trigger actions in real time without delays or limits
Common use cases:
