What is in the 8 files

Every file is a plain n8n workflow export (JSON): in n8n choose Import from File, then follow the yellow "Setup steps" note inside the workflow. Each file carries the date it was built (2026-10-19) and the node versions it uses. Your numbers stay in this browser; nothing is sent anywhere. The workflows send email and texts only to people who wrote to you or booked with you; the social workflow writes drafts for your OK and never posts.

A planning and template tool. The hours and dollars are your own inputs multiplied out; the no-show figure is your guess. Not financial or legal advice.
