Houston marketing automation that runs while you sleep.
A lead fills out your form at 11pm on a Saturday. By 11:02, they've got your intro email, your booking link, and a follow-up scheduled for Monday morning. That's what automation does.

the tech behind it
Why we build on n8n.
n8n is an open-source workflow automation platform — similar to Zapier or Make, but self-hosted. That matters for two reasons:
- No per-task pricing — Zapier charges per workflow execution. n8n on our server has no such limit. Your automation can run 10,000 times a month for the same $59 — a fraction of what the same stack (Zapier + Mailgun + a managed VPS + a CRM seat) would cost you licensed separately.
- Your data stays private — your leads, your customer data, and your business logic all run on our server, not a third-party platform that can change its terms, raise prices, or get acquired.
- 500+ integrations — n8n connects natively with HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Slack, Gmail, Calendly, Stripe, Airtable, Notion, and hundreds more.
- Complex logic support — if/then branching, loops, delays, conditional steps, and custom code — things Zapier can't do without expensive workarounds.
We host it on our private infrastructure at flint.flamegrower.com. You get all the power of enterprise automation at a fraction of the cost.
use cases
What Houston businesses automate with us.
Lead follow-up
New form submission → instant email with your intro, services, and booking link. Then a 3-day and 7-day follow-up if they haven't booked yet. Never let a lead go cold.
Review collection
Service complete → automatic email asking for a Google review → 3-day follow-up if they haven't left one. Works especially well for dental, medical, and service businesses.
Appointment reminders
24-hour and 2-hour automatic reminders for booked appointments. Dramatically reduces no-shows for service businesses, practices, and consultants.
CRM enrichment
New lead fills out a form → contact automatically created in HubSpot or Pipedrive → tagged, categorized, and assigned in your pipeline. No manual data entry.
Lead magnet delivery
Email submitted for a free guide → instant delivery of the PDF → entry into a 5-email drip sequence over 2 weeks that nurtures toward a booking.
Internal notifications
New lead → instant Slack or text message to your team. New form submission → email to the right salesperson. Never miss a lead because it got buried in a shared inbox.
