Website Content Ready Kit

For freelance web designers and small studios

The client admin, running in n8n.

Studio Ops 2.4. Workflows 00 through 16, plus 09a, from the inquiry form through handover. The email DNS check is included. The automation handover stays off until you turn it on. Import the JSON, fill one CONFIG node, and the emails and the sheet stay in step.

What's new in Studio Ops v2.4: handover can list the automations you delivered and ask the client to connect credentials on their own instance. That switch is off, so a web-only studio is unchanged. v2.3 still reads MX, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC without editing DNS.

The Billing pack is a separate folder. It sends milestone payment links, reminds on overdue invoices, and holds handover until the final invoice is paid.

$29 once. Tested on n8n 2.46.

01 — Who it is for

For studios that will run n8n.

You need an n8n account, yours. n8n Cloud is enough. A self-hosted n8n works when its webhook URL is public.

For

  • Freelance web designers who already run n8n.
  • Small studios willing to start on n8n Cloud.
  • Anyone who wants the same lead log, the same chase email, and the same Friday update on every client.

Not for

  • A hosted app. These workflows run in your n8n account, not on this site.
  • Resale. One freelancer or one studio uses the files. You do not sell the JSON.
  • The proposal and the contract. Those documents are the paperwork kit. This pack sends the email and writes the row.

02 — The workflows

01 through 16.

The zip also includes 09a and the two shared workflows, 00 send email and 00 error notification. Every other file calls those. Each file has a CONFIG node. Slack steps are in the file. Leave Slack unconnected if you do not use it.

  1. 01

    New inquiry intake

    A form logs the lead, scores it Hot, Warm, or Cold, sends a welcome email with your booking link, and pings Slack.

  2. 02

    Project kickoff

    When the deposit is in, it creates the client Drive folder from your template docs, shares it, adds the project row, and sends the kickoff email, a Slack note, and the standard asset list. Without a deposit, it sends a reminder.

  3. 03

    Missing asset chaser

    Weekdays at 9:00, one email per client listing what is missing or overdue. The tone steps up. After the number of reminders you set, Slack is told and the row is marked Escalated.

  4. 04

    Client approval loop

    The client gets one Review & respond button, then an approve or request-changes form. It waits up to 14 days, logs the decision and the comments, and tells you. No answer, and the row is marked Expired.

  5. 05

    Change request estimate

    The client submits the change and gets an acknowledgement. You fill a private estimate. The cost comes from your hourly rate. They accept or decline, and the answer is logged.

  6. 06

    Pre-launch checklist digest

    A daily note with the progress bar, what is blocked, overdue, or due soon, and the launch countdown. It goes out by email and Slack.

  7. 07

    Weekly client status update

    Friday, one email per active client. By default each one is saved as a Gmail draft, so you can read it before it sends.

  8. 08

    Handover and testimonial

    The handover email offers a care plan. Seven days later, a testimonial form. A 4 or 5 star answer gets a request for a Google review. If the billing gate is on, the email waits until the final invoice is paid.

  9. 09

    Proposal follow-up

    Day 3 and day 7 after a proposal is detected in sent mail, or marked by hand. Then the lead is Expired and Slack tells you. A reply stops it. A paid discovery invoice is optional and off.

  10. 10

    Silence pause

    If files or an approval sit for five business days, the client gets one pause note and the date moves. Five more quiet days mark the project On Hold. It resumes when they deliver. Payment pauses stay Paused.

  11. 11

    Time and profit

    Toggl, Clockify, Harvest, or a generic time webhook. Friday, Slack once at 50% and 80% of budgeted hours. The effective rate and the digest go to you only.

  12. 12

    Launch wrap-up

    Day 3 a testimonial, day 7 a care plan, day 30 a referral. Each one waits in Slack until you press Send. A 4 or 5 star note you may publish is sent to you.

  13. 13

    New-client onboarding

    A welcome questionnaire and a checklist. Missing items get a reminder at 3 and 6 business days. Day 9 tells you, and can move the launch date if you turn that on.

  14. 14

    Past-client reactivation

    Monday, clients whose last project ended 6 to 12 months ago. A check-in draft, then Send, Skip, or Snooze. Five a week. No Stripe.

  15. 15

    Email deliverability

    On handover, a DNS read of MX, SPF, DMARC, and common DKIM selectors. Slack says pass or missing. The handover doc can get the same note. DNS is not edited.

  16. 16

    Automation credentials

    Off unless handover asks for it. The client confirms each credential is connected. No passwords. Reminders wait for Send in Slack.

03 — The zip

What is in the zip.

One download. The guide is also linked on its own, on the page you reach after checkout.

  • Nineteen workflow JSON files

    Workflows 01 to 16, plus 09a and the shared send-email and error workflows. Import the ones you want. Each has a CONFIG node for your own links, rates, and sheet.

  • Studio Ops Google Sheet

    A template with the project tabs, including time entries, plus the CSVs, so the workflows have somewhere to write.

  • Setup guide PDF

    Credentials, the CONFIG node, and the order to turn the workflows on. Optional nodes ship disabled.

04 — Requirements

What you need running.

No server on this site. The workflows run where your n8n already runs.

  • n8n Cloud, or self-hosted n8n

    Clients open a form and an approval link. n8n Cloud gives you that URL. A self-hosted n8n needs a public webhook URL.

  • Google and Gmail

    The sheet, the Drive folder, and the mail all use your Google account. You connect those credentials in n8n.

  • Slack, if you want the pings

    Optional. A workflow still imports if you leave the Slack node unconnected.

  • Tested on n8n 2.46

    That is the version these JSON files were checked on. The setup guide names it.

05 — Questions

Before you buy.

Does this work on an older n8n?

It was tested on n8n 2.46. That is the version the JSON was checked against. An older n8n can refuse a node it does not have. If an import fails, use 2.46 or a newer 2.x release. The setup guide names the version.

Do I need to code?

No. Import the JSON, open the CONFIG node, and fill your booking link, your hourly rate, and the sheet. Then connect Google, Gmail, and Slack if you want the pings, and activate the workflow. The setup guide walks through those credentials.

Is it a one-time purchase?

Yes. $29 once. Updates to this pack are included. This site does not bill you monthly for the workflows. n8n Cloud, if you use it, is billed by n8n.

What is the license?

One freelancer, or one small studio, on that studio’s own client work. You may not resell the JSON, the sheet, or the guide, and you may not give the blank pack to another studio. Updates to this pack are included. Read the terms.

What is the refund?

Beta purchases include a 14-day, no-questions-asked refund. The refund steps are on the policy page. Refund policy.
