Purist Care · automation maintenance
Your automations, kept running.
Monthly maintenance and support for the workflows you already run on n8n, Make or Zapier. A team of AI agents and a human engineer watch every run, fix what breaks before your team notices, keep up with API changes, and report what happened each month. Built by us, by your team or by a freelancer: we take it over.

Automations do not break loudly. They stop quietly.
A workflow that worked on day one depends on things that change without warning: an app updates its API, a password or token expires, a form gains a field, a rate limit tightens. Most platforms log the failure and move on. Unless someone reads those logs, the lead never reaches the CRM, the invoice never goes out, and the first sign is a customer asking what happened.
Maintenance is the job of reading those signals every day and acting on them. It is unglamorous, it is where most automation projects lose their value, and it is exactly what Purist Care takes off your plate.
- Expired credentialsOAuth tokens and API keys expire or get rotated; every run after that fails.
- API and app changesFields get renamed, endpoints deprecated, limits lowered.
- Silent failuresThe workflow runs "successfully" but sends nothing, because a filter or an empty field stopped it.
- Volume growthWhat handled 50 records a day hits limits at 500.
- Nobody owns itThe person who built it moved on, and nobody knows how it works.
The Care team
Seven AI agents, one engineer, your workflows.
These are the same agents that run Purist's own operations, shown with their live state. Agents marked automatic run on n8n around the clock; the others are run on demand by our engineer with Claude Code. A human reviews every fix that touches your workflows.

Live proof
This is our own monitor, right now.
Purist runs its own business on n8n. The table shows the workflows behind it, as our monitor sees them at this moment: state, runs in the last 24 hours, errors over 7 days and the last run. Your workflows get the same watch.

What we watch, platform by platform
n8n
We read every execution of your active workflows through the n8n API, cloud or self-hosted. Failed runs, runs that took far longer than usual and workflows that stopped running on schedule all raise an alert in our monitor.
Make
We read scenario run logs and errors, including incomplete executions waiting for a decision, and watch for scenarios that were switched off by an error.
Zapier
Zapier's own error notifications are routed into our monitor instead of an inbox nobody reads, and we review task history for Zaps that stop triggering.
This is the same monitoring that runs Purist itself: our own operations run on n8n, watched around the clock, with a public status page.

How it works
- 1Free health check
We list every active workflow, its run history, its failures and its credentials, and send you the findings in writing.
- 2Stabilise
Urgent issues get fixed first. Every workflow gets a short description of what it does and what it depends on.
- 3Watch and fix
Failures land in our monitor, not your inbox. We fix within your plan's response time and tell you what happened.
- 4Report and improve
Each month: runs, failures, fixes, changes made, and what we would improve next.

Automation maintenance questions
What is automation maintenance?
Automation maintenance is the ongoing work that keeps workflows running after they are built: watching every run for failures, fixing what breaks, reconnecting expired credentials, adapting to API and platform changes, and making small changes as the business evolves. Without it, automations fail silently: a form stops reaching the CRM, invoices stop being sent, and nobody notices for weeks.
Which platforms do you maintain?
n8n (cloud and self-hosted), Make and Zapier. On n8n we read executions through the n8n API. On Make we read scenario run logs. On Zapier we route Zapier's own error notifications into our monitor. We can take over workflows built by anyone, including in-house teams and freelancers.
How much does automation maintenance cost?
Purist Care starts at $149 a month for up to 5 workflows, $290 a month for up to 15 and $490 a month for up to 40. Paying yearly costs ten months instead of twelve. Plans run month to month.
What happens in the first week?
We start with a health check of your existing workflows: which ones run, which ones fail, which credentials expire soon and where a silent failure could hide. You get the findings in writing, we fix the urgent issues, then the plan starts.
What counts as a workflow?
One active automation: an n8n workflow, a Make scenario or a Zap. Inactive drafts and test copies do not count.
Do you need access to my accounts?
Yes, a user or API access to the automation platform, scoped to the workflows we maintain. You keep ownership of every workflow and every account. If you stop the plan, you remove our access and everything keeps running in your account.
What if I need a new automation, not a fix?
Each plan includes monthly hours for changes. A new workflow that goes beyond those hours is quoted separately, at a fixed price agreed before we start.
How is this different from your monthly automation plans?
Purist monthly plans include building new automations and maintaining them. Care plans are for automations you already have, built by us or anyone else, that need to keep running reliably.
Find out what is failing quietly in your automations.
The health check is free and comes with written findings, whether or not you choose a plan.
