After the switch

Your workflows moved. Their reliability still needs an owner.

FlowPorter Managed monitors, recovers and improves the automation estate after cutover — with a clear boundary between platform operation and business-process ownership.

What FlowPorter Managed actually does

Service outcomes, not a vague promise to "keep an eye on it"

Each outcome below is a defined activity with an owner and a cadence — available depending on the tier you choose.

Workflow health monitoring

Executions are watched across the estate so a quiet failure doesn't surface three weeks later as a missing invoice.

Failed-execution triage

Every failed run is reviewed, categorized and routed — to a fix, a retry or an owner decision — rather than left as an unread red badge.

Replay & recovery support

Idempotent workflows are replayed safely; workflows with side effects follow an agreed recovery procedure instead of a manual scramble.

Update coordination

Platform and dependency updates are tested against your workflows before they roll out, not applied blind on a vendor schedule.

Credential-rotation assistance

When a connected account's credentials rotate or expire, we help reconnect it before it silently disables dependent workflows.

Cost & performance review

Execution volume, plan tier and node performance are reviewed periodically so spend tracks actual usage rather than habit.

Monthly service reporting

A written report of health, incidents, changes and open items — not just a dashboard nobody checks.

Reserved improvement capacity

A monthly allowance of engineering time for small fixes, hardening or new automation — reserved rather than billed ad hoc.

When something breaks

The incident & recovery model

A short, repeatable sequence — not an ad hoc scramble every time a workflow fails.

01 · Detect

Automated checks

Failed and stalled executions are flagged automatically, not discovered by an unhappy customer email.

02 · Triage

Classify the cause

An operator classifies the failure — transient, data-related, upstream outage or a genuine defect — inside the agreed response window.

03 · Recover

Replay or escalate

Safe cases are replayed or retried; unsafe ones follow an agreed manual recovery procedure with the workflow owner.

04 · Report

Record & learn

The incident, its cause and any change made are recorded in the next monthly service report.

Where responsibility sits

FlowPorter Managed is an operating layer, not a transfer of business ownership. Being explicit about the line between the two is what makes the service trustworthy enough to renew.

The operating boundary

FlowPorter can operate the automation platform and investigate workflow failures. The customer remains accountable for business policy, source-system permissions, data accuracy and timely decisions — unless the contract states otherwise.

Response times, coverage hours and escalation paths are set per tier and contract. FlowPorter does not promise blanket 24/7 coverage — extended or after-hours coverage applies only where the operating agreement specifically provides for it.

Illustrative launch tiers

Choose the depth of operation you actually need

Tiers are scoped to estate size, criticality and required response time — not to a one-size subscription. Final tier and price are agreed before anything is billed.

Small, stable estate

Watch

$1,250–$2,000/mo

For estates that mainly need monitoring and a human check on failures.

  • Workflow health monitoring
  • Failed-execution alerts
  • Monthly health summary
  • Business-hours response window

Illustrative launch band pending commercial validation.

Larger or critical estate

Partner

$3,500–$5,000/mo

For estates where automation failure has real business consequences.

  • Everything in Operate
  • Cost & performance review
  • Larger reserved improvement capacity
  • Extended response coverage, by contract

Extended coverage is contract-dependent, not a standing 24/7 promise.

Prices are illustrative launch hypotheses pending commercial validation. Tier eligibility depends on estate scale, criticality, volume and response-time requirements.

Who owns the infrastructure

Architecture & licensing notes

Managed operation doesn't require FlowPorter to host anything — it requires an agreed access model, whoever holds the infrastructure.

Customer-owned infrastructure

You hold the n8n Cloud subscription or self-hosted environment; FlowPorter operates inside access you grant and can revoke at any time.

FlowPorter-managed infrastructure

FlowPorter hosts and operates the environment on your behalf, subject to current license terms and a signed data-processing agreement.

n8n's Cloud and self-hosted license terms are set by n8n GmbH and can change. Any FlowPorter-managed hosting arrangement is checked against current licensing terms before it's proposed — we won't commit to an architecture we haven't verified is presently licensable.

Honest fit

Managed operation isn't the right fit for every estate

A small, low-stakes estate with an engaged internal owner may not need a paid operating layer yet.

Good fit
  • n8n is already in production and something needs to own its reliability
  • Workflows touch customer communication, payments or records — failures aren't just an inconvenience
  • No internal team has the bandwidth to be the de facto n8n on-call
  • You want updates, credential rotation and cost reviewed on a predictable cadence
  • A written monthly report matters more to you than an internal dashboard nobody checks
Not yet
  • The estate is a handful of low-stakes workflows an internal owner already checks
  • No workflow failure would meaningfully affect the business within a business day
  • You want FlowPorter to own business decisions, not just platform operation — that's a different conversation
  • You require round-the-clock incident response beyond what's been contractually agreed
  • You haven't chosen a target operating model yet — start with the assessment instead

Next step

Design my managed operating model

Tell us about the estate that's already live, or about to go live, and a route specialist will follow up to scope tier, boundary and response expectations before anything is billed.

Give the estate a named owner
