What is a custom script?

A custom script is a small piece of software written specifically for your business problem. Unlike off-the-shelf software, custom scripts do exactly what you need — no more, no less. They run on a schedule, react to events, or get triggered by you on demand. Draxiq writes them in Python (for data and AI), Node.js (for web and APIs) and bash (for server tasks).

📧

Email parsing & processing

⏰

Scheduled tasks

Daily reports, weekly backups, monthly invoices, hourly checks — anything that needs to happen on a clock.

🔄

Data transformation

Take data from one format and turn it into another. CSV to JSON, JSON to database, API to spreadsheet.

Monitoring & alerts

Watch a website, an API, a price, a stock level — get notified by email, Telegram or Slack when something changes.

🧹

Cleanup & maintenance

Auto-delete old files, archive old data, deduplicate records, validate inputs, fix broken stuff.

Common questions

Everything people ask before commissioning custom scripts & automation.

How much does a custom script cost?
Draxiq custom scripts start at £100 for simple one-off scripts (a few hours of work). Mid-complexity scripts with API integrations or scheduling typically run £200–£600. Complex multi-step automations with error handling, logging and monitoring start at £800. We always quote upfront based on your specific brief.
What languages does Draxiq write in?
Python (our main weapon for data, AI, APIs and automation), Node.js (for web and JavaScript-heavy tasks), bash (for server-side scripting and Linux automation), and SQL (for database work). We pick the right tool for each job.
Where do the scripts run?
Depends on what they do. Simple scheduled scripts run on your computer (Windows, Mac or Linux). Server-side scripts run on UK-based VPS servers we manage for you. Cloud scripts can run on AWS Lambda, Google Cloud Functions or DigitalOcean. We pick the right environment for the job.
Will I be able to maintain the script myself?
Yes — we write clean, well-commented code and provide a brief README so you (or another developer) can understand and modify it later. We can also offer ongoing maintenance retainers if you'd rather hands-off management.
Can scripts integrate with my existing tools?
Yes. Scripts can talk to almost anything: Gmail, Outlook, Slack, Telegram, Notion, Airtable, Google Sheets, Excel, databases, REST APIs, FTP servers, webhooks, file systems, and most SaaS tools that have an API.
How long does a script take to build?
Simple scripts: 1–3 days. Mid-complexity with integrations: 1–2 weeks. Complex multi-step automations: 2–4 weeks. We agree a timeline upfront and stick to it.
