Beyond Excel: Architecting a Modern Automation Workflow

During the summer, I built an n8n-based automation workflow for a small organisation where many processes were still manual and Excel-driven.
The project eventually grew into a 3-part Medium series about creating a scalable automation system using n8n, Google Sheets, FastAPI, Docker, and more.
While I was polishing Part 3, a notification suddenly appeared:
💡 “Chenan Wang added your story From Manual Chaos to Modular Automation: Building a Scalable n8n Workflow for a Foundation to their list titled N8n.”
It’s always encouraging when something you build and document resonates with others.
Thank you, Chenan Wang!
