Make → n8n · Before & after
Less sprawl.
More ownership.
A natural overview of how Glow’s automations move from separate Make scenarios into an entity-owned, observable n8n architecture.
↗
This overview will continue to grow.The 20-scenario Slack baseline and the final additional migration scope are verified. All 19 migratable scenarios were cut over. A dedicated Clay Idempotency Gate was added as a further operational automation on 27 August. PandaDoc and TikTok are explicitly excluded and remain authoritative in Make.

The architecture shift
The migration was not a one-for-one copy. Repeated scenarios were consolidated by business purpose, with shared security, routing and idempotency underneath.
Consolidated and Glow-owned
- 7 business workflows with shared infrastructure
- Glow Bot on a six-channel allowlist
- Persistent atomic event claims and safe retries
- Authenticated ingress, source-level cutover evidence
Batch 1 · verified cutover
All ten source scenarios now run through active Sharp n8n replacements and all ten Make rollback copies are disabled. The six Clay action columns were switched individually with authenticated mappings and a five-row Close readback; the single open legacy exception was transferred to the scheduled n8n report.

Additional operational automation
The Clay Idempotency Gate was added after the migration to protect all four Close → Clay dispatch paths. Before a paid Clay request is sent, the gate atomically claims the combination of source, Close Lead ID and enrichment cycle in persistent storage. Concurrent work stops as busy; completed replays bypass Clay. On the three marked branches, duplicate replays still resume the downstream Close marker so an interrupted run can recover without creating another Clay row. Both GHI paths deliberately share one namespace, while the cycle key preserves intended future re-enrichment.

Final extension
Thirteen scenarios were investigated. Nine belonged to the final migration scope and all nine are cut over and verified. Four remain deliberately untouched in Make: two TikTok scenarios by scope decision and two PandaDoc automations because Glow has no PandaDoc Production API. PandaDoc was not migrated; its read-only n8n prototype is not presented as an “after” system.

What changed underneath
The visible workflow consolidation sits on top of shared operational controls that did not exist consistently before.
🤖
Entity-owned identity
Slack delivery now uses the Glow Bot instead of personal OAuth identities or foreign workspace connections.
🧭
Fixed channel routing
A central gateway maps logical routes to six approved Glow channels. Callers cannot inject arbitrary channel IDs.
🔐
Authenticated ingress
Webhooks use signatures, header credentials or a hashed provider key. Secrets remain outside workflow source.
◉
Atomic idempotency
The dedicated Clay gate and its persistent event-claim table prevent repeated paid dispatches during retries, races and delayed search-index updates.
↻
Safe cutovers
Sources were switched and validated individually before their corresponding Make rollback copies were disabled.
⌁
Auditable baseline
The final audit checks active workflows, Make status, Slack identity, channel membership and recent errors.
PD
PandaDoc was not migrated
Make 1483998 and 7601241 remain active and authoritative. Glow has no PandaDoc Production API entitlement, the native Make credential cannot be exported, and the read-only n8n prototype is not counted as a production relocation.
!
Explicit exception: Make 9599483
“pos. Reply Hiring-Intelligence” is not part of this 20-scenario relocation. It remains active and unchanged in Make and is deliberately excluded from the migration audit.

Retired integration: Smartlead / Make 8714747
Smartlead was cancelled on 25 August 2026. Its reply webhook still appears active in Make, but the service is not being recreated in n8n. Any Make deactivation is handled separately as an explicit cleanup, not as a migration cutover.
