Why Temporal for this
Most manual work in a business is re-entering data that already exists in another system. That is the cheapest automation there is, and it is routinely the last thing anyone builds.
Temporal is strongest at reliability guarantees for long-running, multi-step processes. For workflow & integration automation that matters because the failure modes of this kind of system tend to cluster exactly there.
The honest trade-off: operational complexity that only pays off once workflows genuinely span hours or days. We say that up front because a stack chosen for fashion rather than fit becomes someone's migration project two years later. Every engagement opens with a measurement: the cycle time, the cost per transaction, or the error rate we are being asked to move.
You own the code, the models where they are open-weight, and the documentation to run it without us.

Questions
Do you use tools like n8n and Zapier, or custom code?
Both, chosen by fit. Off-the-shelf automation is right for straightforward flows; custom code earns its keep once volume, error handling or logic complexity grows.
What if a system has no API?
There is usually a path, database access, file exchange, or a supported export. We assess feasibility before quoting rather than after.
Who maintains it afterwards?
You do, and we write the runbook and documentation to make that realistic. We also offer a managed retainer if you would rather we kept it.
Alternatives for workflow & integration automation
