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 โ 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
