I’m building a marketplace focused on automation workflows, but I don’t want it to be just another place selling random templates.

The main idea is to let creators sell workflows together with real services: setup, customization, deployment, debugging, maintenance, etc.

I’m currently trying to onboard the first serious creators and get honest feedback before opening it more broadly et marketing it to clients.

If you already build n8n workflows for clients, internal tools, CRM, AI agents, lead gen, reporting, scraping or API integrations, I’d be happy to talk.

Trying to solve the “workflow template is not enough” problem with my own marketplace

Hey everyone,

I’ve just put live a project I’ve been building called FlowMarket.

The basic idea is a marketplace around automation workflows, mainly n8n for now. But I’m trying to avoid making it just another place where people download a random JSON file and then spend hours trying to make it work.

What I’m testing is this:

* people can buy or get for free ready-made workflows

* creators can sell and show their workflows and experiences

* buyers can also request services linked to the workflow: setup, customization, debugging, self-hosted n8n help, API connection

* it is possible to only post services only to help someone setup a workflow they have come across

* you can request custom services to creators

The reason I’m building it this way is because, from what I’ve seen, a lot of automation value is not just in the template. It’s in adapting the workflow to a real business process, with real credentials, real edge cases, and real maintenance.

I’m not trying to pitch it as some huge revolutionary thing. It’s live, early, and probably still imperfect.

I’d like honest feedback from people here:

Would you trust/buy workflow templates if they came with documentation and optional setup help?

Or do you think automation marketplaces only make sense when everything is custom-built for the client?

Also, what would you expect from a workflow listing before paying for it? Screenshots, demo video, docs, node list, required accounts, support period, refund policy?

Any criticism is welcome. I’m trying to understand what would make this actually useful instead of just becoming a graveyard of random templates.

I’ve noticed something with n8n and automation in general: there are tons of workflows out there, and a lot of real potential for both individuals and businesses, but most people still don’t use them.

I think the reason is simple: from the outside, automation looks complicated. And when you actually want something useful for your own situation, it’s not always easy to find someone who can build it, explain it, and help you adapt it properly.

That’s the problem I’m trying to solve with FlowMarket.

The idea is to create a place where people can:

• buy ready-to-use n8n workflows
• request custom automation services
• find specialists who can help set up or improve workflows
• understand how automation can fit into real daily tasks, not just abstract “AI productivity” talk

It’s live now at flowmarket.pro.

I’m still improving it, so I’d genuinely be interested in feedback from people who use n8n, sell automations, or have struggled to find practical workflow solutions.

What do you think is missing today in the automation/n8n ecosystem?
