AI Agency Automation Control Panel
One ops dashboard for AI automation agencies: deploy Make/n8n/Zapier workflows, catch errors early, bill usage, and prove ROI across every client.
AI automation agencies are drowning in tabs. A typical shop managing 10–20 clients runs Make scenarios, n8n workflows, and Zapier zaps across separate dashboards — each with its own login, execution log, and error notification channel. The agency owner opens five browser windows every morning just to answer one question: did anything break overnight? The pain compounds as agencies scale. A freelancer with three clients can eyeball each scenario. At 15 clients, nobody has a portfolio view. Failed executions get buried in per-platform inboxes. Client onboarding means manually cloning scenarios, updating webhook URLs, and praying nothing was missed. When a client asks "what did we automate this month?" the agency exports CSVs from three tools and spends an hour building a slide deck.

1. Project Setup
Build the weekend MVP of "ClientStack": one dashboard where an automation agency sees every client's workflow health. Stack: Next.js (App Router), TypeScript, Tailwind, Supabase (Postgres, Row Level Security, Realtime, Auth with email magic link), the n8n API for executions. Deploy on Vercel. Platforms: n8n first, with an API key per client. Make and Zapier come later. Tables (Row Level Security on, each agency reads only its own rows): - agencies(id, user_id, name, logo_url, primary_color) - clients(id, agency_id, name, n8n_base_url, n8n_api_key_encrypted) - executions(id, client_id, workflow_name, status, started_at, duration_ms, error_message) where status is success or error - alerts(id, client_id, kind, created_at) Screens: /login, /clients (health badges), /feed (execution feed). Env vars (names only): NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL, NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY, SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY (server only), ENCRYPTION_KEY. Do not build: billing or plans, Make or Zapier connections, template deploys, ROI reports, a client portal, roles beyond the one agency owner. Done when: npm run dev starts, you can sign in, and the four tables exist with Row Level Security on.
2. Core Feature
Build the one feature that proves ClientStack: a unified execution feed with a health status per client. 1. A client form saves the n8n base URL and API key (encrypted at rest). 2. A scheduled job every 5 minutes calls GET /executions for each client, normalizes each one to { client_id, workflow_name, status, started_at, duration_ms, error_message } and inserts it into executions, skipping ones already stored. Back off on rate limits. 3. /feed lists executions across all clients, newest first, and updates live through Realtime. 4. /clients shows a green, yellow or red badge per client from the error rate over the last 24 hours: green under 2%, yellow 2 to 5%, red above 5%. A client that goes red writes one row to alerts. Empty state: with no clients, show the add-client form and a one-line n8n API key hint. Done when: connecting a test n8n instance fills the feed within 5 minutes, and forcing failed executions turns that client red and writes an alert.3. Landing Page
Build a one-page landing site for ClientStack, an operations dashboard for AI automation agencies. Hero: "Every client's automations, one screen." Sub: "See which workflows are healthy, which broke and for whom, before the client emails you." One button: Join the waitlist. Sections: the problem (agencies find out a client's automation broke when the client does), how it works in five steps (connect platforms, monitor the portfolio, deploy templates, prove ROI, retain clients), and a mock portfolio with green, yellow and red clients. Waitlist: store the email in a waitlist table in Supabase. No other service. Voice: practical and plain, written for an agency owner. Done when: the page renders on a phone and a submitted email appears in the waitlist table.
4. Branding Package
Use a design or image tool for this one. A coding agent cannot draw a logo. Brand for ClientStack: a wordmark and an icon that suggest a stack of client tiles. Colors: a near-black, white, and green, yellow and red used only for health status. Type: one clean sans for the interface and a mono for workflow names. Deliverables: wordmark, icon, three status badge designs, and one launch graphic of a portfolio of clients. Done when: each deliverable is saved in one folder and the three badges are distinguishable without color.
