N8N API Consultants & Implementation Experts
Build reliable automations. Connect every system. Scale with confidence.
Lumen Business designs, implements, deploys, and hosts n8n-powered automations for enterprises and SMBs. We specialise in complex API integrations, secure deployments, and AI-connected workflows that turn manual processes into durable, revenue-lifting systems. Whether on-premise, in your private cloud, or managed entirely by us, Lumen ensures your automation environment is secure, scalable, and always available.
Why Lumen for n8n & API Work
- Deep API expertise: REST, GraphQL, SOAP, webhooks, OAuth2, JWT, mTLS, rate-limit strategies.
- Enterprise-grade security: NZISM-aligned practices, audit logs, least-privilege, secrets management, SOC2-ready patterns.
- Real business results: Faster cycle times, fewer errors, lower costs, better data quality.
- Zoho & beyond: Seamless with Zoho CRM/Desk/Projects plus ERP, billing, data warehouses, and custom apps.
- Full stack delivery: Architecture → build → test → deploy → host → monitor → optimise.
What We Deliver

Connect AI to n8n for Automation
Make every workflow smarter with AI.
- LLM orchestration: Route prompts, tools, and guardrails with n8n nodes for OpenAI/Azure OpenAI, Claude, or local models.
- RAG pipelines: Ingest documents, index with vector stores, and ground LLMs for accurate, auditable outputs.
- Agentic automations: Let AI call APIs, create tickets, update CRM, summarise chats, and trigger next best actions.
- Quality & safety: Prompt testing, evals, PII redaction, rate caps, and kill-switches.
- Use cases: Lead enrichment, email drafting, call summaries, invoice extraction, support triage, anomaly alerts.
