The work on this page is covered by a non-disclosure agreement with Smoothops Consulting and their clients. No client is named or described, and no data structures or business details belonging to them appear here. What is described is what was built and the rules it runs on.
The backend Smoothops Consulting hands to their clients, built end to end by Abhiman Labs
Abhiman Labs builds the backend automation behind Smoothops client work. The syncs, the workflows, the parts that have to keep running when nobody is watching.
The Engagement
Smoothops Consulting is one of the highest ranked Notion consultancies in the world. Tim Jeffries founded it, and the clients it works with are serious operations where a broken sync costs something.
Tim brought me in as his backend automation specialist. When a client build needs automation infrastructure underneath it, that work comes to me and I own it end to end: the schema, the syncs, the workflows, and the rules that decide what happens when two systems disagree.
Both projects below were built for Smoothops clients, not for Smoothops themselves. Smoothops held the client. Abhiman Labs built the system, end to end. There is internal work for Smoothops too, and other client builds, and none of that is written up here. These two are the ones that can be described.
The Projects
Multi-Database Hotel Operations System
Bookings, venues, customers, contacts and revenue lived in separate places with nothing connecting them. Nine relational Notion databases now hold the operation as one system, synced live out of Semper, and Notion AI reads it directly.
Attio, Granola and Notion in one state
Three systems each held part of the truth about the same meeting and the same contact. Six n8n workflows now hold them in one state, on queue mode n8n with Postgres and Redis behind it. One workflow carries 13 Redis nodes on locking alone.
The Ongoing Relationship
I have been Smoothops' backend automation specialist since late 2025. The standard Tim holds for client deliverables is high, and that has pushed the quality of everything I build.
If you run a consultancy or an agency and need a specialist to own the backend automation behind your client work, this is what that arrangement looks like in practice. Get in touch if that fits how you work.
"Abhiman and I have worked closely on several projects involving integrating saas products with Notion. He is highly skilled, a pleasure to work with and entirely trustworthy. I would highly recommend his services to anyone looking to build integration with Notion via n8n."
