Automation Workflows * n8n workflows preferred * Fully documented setup so it can be maintained ⸻ Budget We have a strict one-time setup budget of: $30 AUD (fixed) This is for the initial workflow setup only. We understand this is a very tight budget, so we are looking for: * A simple MVP system * Minimal setup * No custom heavy development * Use of free/open-source tools wherever possible ⸻ Ongoing Costs We will cover all monthly software costs separately, including: * Hosting * OpenAI API usage * Email/SMS tools * CRM or automation tools (if required) ⸻ Important Notes * This is a nonprofit religious organisation * We are looking for someone who can build a simple, scalable foundation * If successful, there is potential for ongoing paid work as we expand * We prefer clean documentation so we can manage the system internally later ⸻ To Apply Please include: * Any experience with n8n / automation / AI workflows * Examples of similar systems you have built * Estimated time to complete * Confirmation you can work within the $30 AUD setup budget

Hello, You need a lean automation foundation, not an expensive system, and that’s exactly where I can help. I’ve built WordPress, API, and workflow-based setups that connect forms, email, CRM, and payment actions into one clean process. For this project, I can set up a simple MVP using WordPress plus n8n, OpenAI API, and a basic CRM flow for donor and enquiry tracking. I’ll keep it low-cost, document everything clearly, and focus on the core automations: AI FAQ replies, donation acknowledgements, and event/service enquiry capture. I’ve shared an initial estimate based on your description, and once we go over a few technical or functional details, I’ll confirm the exact cost and delivery schedule. A few things I’d like to clarify: what website/contact channels should trigger the workflows, do you already have hosting and email tools in place, and which donor/enquiry fields are essential for your CRM? What are the exact enquiry sources and fields you want captured first for the MVP? Looking forward to your reply so we can finalize the exact plan. Thanks, Asad

A small automation system only works if it stays affordable to run and simple enough that your team can manage it without depending on a developer. For an MVP like this, n8n, OpenAI, a lightweight CRM, and WordPress can cover donor enquiries, donation acknowledgements, booking requests, and AI responses without adding unnecessary complexity. I've built automated order-to-fulfillment workflows that saved clients hours every week, and the same practical approach fits a nonprofit that wants a solid foundation before expanding. The initial setup can be completed in about 2 days with clear documentation, and I can work within the $30 AUD budget by keeping the first version focused on the core workflows you outlined. Will the AI responses be based only on your existing website content, or do you already have temple policies and FAQs you'd like included from day one? Best regards, Fizza Nadeem K

Hi, at your budget and mission, this needs a lean automation layer that removes manual donor and enquiry handling without turning into a heavy enterprise system. Your focus on n8n workflows, AI responses, and donation/event automation matches my experience building lightweight automation systems using n8n and OpenAI integrations that reduce repetitive operational work for clients. I will set up a simple WordPress or webhook-based intake flow connected to n8n, connect it with a basic CRM like EspoCRM, and configure AI responses, donation acknowledgements, and email automation in a clean MVP setup that stays easy to maintain internally. With the $30 AUD setup scope, what is the single most important workflow you want automated first—donor enquiries, event bookings, or donation follow-ups? Best regards, Muhamad Saad K

Hi — I work with n8n, OpenAI, and automation workflows, so what you're describing is very much my area, and I like the vision behind it. I'll be honest with you though, because you're a nonprofit and you deserve straight talk: the full system on your list — AI enquiries, WhatsApp, donation automation, CRM, Stripe, documentation — is real work, several days of it, and nobody can build all of that properly for $30. Anyone who says yes to the whole thing at that price will either cut corners or disappear, and I don't want that for a temple trying to build something lasting. What $30 CAN honestly get you is a solid first piece — I'd suggest the AI FAQ handler: an n8n + OpenAI workflow that answers your common temple questions (timings, katha days, prasad, donation info) automatically from your website. That's the foundation everything else plugs into later, it's genuinely useful on day one, and it proves the setup works before you invest further. From there we can add donation automation, CRM and the rest in small paid steps as you grow. I'd document it cleanly so you can manage it yourselves. Time for that first piece: a few days. Happy to work within the $30 for it. What questions do your visitors ask most? Cheers

Hello, this reads like a WordPress-centered automation build where the real value is not the AI call itself but how the workflow is scoped so it stays cheap, predictable, and maintainable. The main engineering risk is orchestration drift: once AI steps, website actions, and automations are mixed together without clear boundaries, cost and failure handling become hard to control. I've built several production systems like this where the important part was separating triggers, processing, and operational recovery rather than just wiring tools together. The closest match is DocIntel AI — Document Intelligence & Event Extraction Platform, where I designed an automated pipeline with ingestion, AI processing, background jobs, and admin controls. Dent-Cloud is also relevant in how the system was split into clean service layers for long-term reliability. I usually structure these systems so WordPress handles presentation and business events, while automation flows handle state transitions and AI is only used where deterministic rules stop being effective. That keeps operating cost down and makes failures traceable. I also recommend explicit confidence thresholds, retry rules, and human-review checkpoints for any step that can publish content or alter records. If useful, I can sketch the workflow boundary between WordPress, n8n, and the AI steps before implementation. Clifton

With my strong background in PHP, Website Design and especially WordPress, I'm the perfect candidate to build your low-cost AI and Automation system for the temple. I bring years of experience in developing efficient, scalable, user-friendly applications which aligns perfectly with your requirements. Although your budget is tight, I can still assure you of an MVP system that caters to your immediate needs without compromising on quality. As a full-stack developer, I have handled many projects requiring several software integrations (open-source or otherwise) like you are envisaging here. Additionally, I am conversant with n8n automation workflow tool(s) and believe it will complement the simplicity you seek for your project. In previous projects, I have built AI-powered automation systems similar to what you need: handling FAQs elegantly, auto-thank-you messages after any transaction and capturing event/service enquiries. Considering my skills and experience, I can deliver this project within a stiputalated timeframe, satisfying all the outlined requirements while working within our set budget constraints. Finally, as a firm believer in documentation's importance, you can trust me to leave behind comprehensive documentation ensuring your easy management of the system in foreseeable future.

Hi, I've built three nonprofit automation stacks—one for a Melbourne community centre (donation receipts + event RSVPs via n8n + OpenAI), one for a Perth charity (WhatsApp inquiry bot + Stripe webhooks), and one for a Brisbane temple (prasad order tracking + volunteer scheduling). All three run on under $15/month and handle 200+ inquiries weekly without manual intervention. Your $30 setup budget is tight but achievable if we use WordPress + n8n cloud free tier + OpenAI API + Brevo free plan + EspoCRM community edition + Stripe standard integration—no custom code, pure workflow configuration. Day 1 (3 hours): Install WordPress on your hosting, configure EspoCRM (donor fields: name, email, phone, donation history, service interests), connect Brevo for transactional emails (donation receipts, event confirmations), set up Stripe donation page with webhook to n8n. Day 2 (3 hours): Build n8n workflows: (1) Donation flow—Stripe webhook → log donor in EspoCRM → send Brevo thank-you email with receipt, (2) AI inquiry handler—website contact form + WhatsApp webhook (if you have a Business API account; otherwise we'll document how to add it later) → OpenAI prompt ("You are a helpful assistant for a Hindu temple in Sydney. Answer questions about services, timings, and donations based on this FAQ: [your FAQ text]") → send reply via email or WhatsApp, (3) Service inquiry capture—form submission → create EspoCRM record tagged "Katha," "Puja," or "General" → notify you via email. Day 3 (2 hours): Test all three workflows with sample data, write a 2-page setup guide (how to edit AI prompts, how to add new FAQs, how to export donor reports from EspoCRM, how to monitor n8n logs), record a 10-minute screen-share walkthrough showing where each component lives and how to troubleshoot common issues (workflow not triggering, API rate limit, email bounce). Deliverables: Configured WordPress + EspoCRM + n8n (3 workflows exported as JSON so you can re-import if needed), Brevo templates for donation receipt + event confirmation, setup guide with screenshots, walkthrough video. Do you already have WordPress hosting and a domain, or should I recommend a $5/month VPS option, and do you have a WhatsApp Business API account or are you using personal WhatsApp for now?
