I rebuilt the same 5 n8n workflows for 12 clients before I finally packaged them — here's what I learned

I run a small automation agency, and for the first 6 months I was rebuilding the same lead-intake-to-CRM sync, AI follow-up sequence, and Slack digest workflows from scratch for every client. It was killing my margins. After the 12th client I finally sat down and extracted the common patterns into a reusable pack of n8n JSON templates with node-by-node comments and a 15-minute customization walkthrough. The result: I cut client onboarding from 4 hours to 45 minutes. I'm sharing the pack at https://automation-kit.northfieldbridge.com if you're in the same boat — but more importantly, I'd love to hear how others handle boilerplate reuse in n8n. Do you build from scratch each time, or have you found a way to template your common workflows?
