Lindy Migration Deep Dive

Overview

Migrate existing automation workflows from Zapier, Make (Integromat), n8n, LangChain, or custom code to Lindy AI. Key insight: Lindy replaces rigid rule-based automations with AI agents that can reason, adapt, and handle ambiguity — so migration is a redesign opportunity, not a 1:1 translation.

Prerequisites

• Inventory of existing automations (source platform)
• Lindy workspace ready with required integrations authorized
• Migration timeline approved
• Rollback plan defined for customer-facing workflows

Migration Source Comparison

Source Platform	Lindy Equivalent	Key Difference
Zapier Zap	Lindy Agent	AI reasoning replaces rigid if/then
Make Scenario	Lindy Agent	No-code builder instead of module chains
n8n Workflow	Lindy Agent	Managed infra, no self-hosting
LangChain Agent	Lindy Agent Step	No-code, managed, no Python needed
Custom code	HTTP Request + Run Code	Less code, AI fills gaps

Instructions

Step 1: Inventory Source Automations

For each existing automation, document:

Field	Example
Name	Support Email Triage
Trigger	New email in [e-mail]
Steps	1. Parse email 2. Classify 3. Route to channel
Integrations	Gmail, Slack, Sheets
Frequency	~50 runs/day
Complexity	Medium (3 steps, 1 condition)

Step 2: Classify Migration Complexity
