Repetitive tasks waste your time? Simple automation but never bothered to look into *how* to do it?
I wanted to monitor a friend's Facebook page and make it possible for anyone to sign up with their email to get a notification (with the content of the post) when he publishes a new item.
With the help of a freelancer, we built a simple Make.com automation that does exactly that.
Cost: $100, but once you learn the basics, it's a 30-minute effort.
This is extremely simple for anyone dealing with automation, but it's eye-opening for us the non-geeks and semi-geeks to see how easy it is to do.
And of course, the sky is the limit when it comes to "if/then" automations.
- event management
- briefing generation
- meeting preparation
- basic policy tracker,
- invoice management
- social media monitoring
- newsletter creation
…almost any workflow can be automated in a 100% customized way *exactly* the way you need it.
It's a paradigm shift once you dip your toe into it. Definitely so for me.
Are you using such tools? What's your experience?
