Automation Isn’t Rocket Science

Most companies have 3–5 processes that eat up a disproportionate amount of time and could be automated in a matter of days. Here are the ones I tackle most frequently.

1. CRM Syncing with Other Systems

New lead in CRM → automatically created card in the project management tool → Slack notification to the sales rep → entry in Google Sheets for reporting.

Tools: Make or n8n, connected via API.

2. Automated Follow-Up Emails

Client fills out a form → gets a confirmation → follow-up after 3 days → reminder after a week. Without anyone lifting a finger.

Tools: Make + an email service (Resend, Mailgun).

3. Invoicing and Accounting

Completed project → automatically generated invoice → sent to the client → recorded in the accounting system. No more manual invoicing.

Tools: n8n + Fakturoid/iDoklad API.

4. Weekly Reports

Data from Google Analytics, CRM, and invoicing → aggregation → formatting → sent via email or Slack. Every Monday at 8:00 AM.

Tools: Make + Google Sheets + Slack API.

5. New Client Onboarding

Signed contract → Google Drive folder created → added to project management → welcome email with next steps → team notification.

Tools: Make or n8n, connected to multiple systems.
