5 Things You Can Automate Today (So You Don’t Have to Repeat Them Tomorrow)

If you're still juggling tasks like copying info into spreadsheets, manually sending follow-ups, or reminding your team about leads, it's time to let automation step in.

You use multiple tools to run your business but moving data between them by hand, that’s a productivity trap.

With tools like Zapier and Make, you can build automated workflows (called Zaps or triggers) that do the heavy lifting for you across emails, databases, calendars, project tools, and more.

Here are five real-world tasks you can automate today that will save you hours tomorrow:

✅ 1. Instantly follow up with leads
When someone fills out your form or signs up for your freebie, you can use Make or Zapier to trigger an SMS or email reply right away without manual typing or even forgetting to follow up.

You can as well add them to your email list (with consent!) automatically to keep them nurtured without lifting a finger.

✅ 2. Notify your team when a new lead comes in
Don’t let hot leads get ignored because no one knew they arrived.

You can set up Zaps to notify your team via email, Slack, or notion the moment someone expresses interest. The faster the response, the better the conversion.

✅ 3. Auto-update your spreadsheets or databases
Whether you use Google Sheets or Airtable, stop copy-pasting lead info, form data, or sales numbers.

With Zapier or Make, you can log all of flawlessly and instantly without any form of typos.

No more time wasted, just clean, real-time data where it should be.

✅ 4. Create and track calendar events across tools
If you 're juggling client calls, internal meetings, and project timelines, Zapier can sync calendars across tools, update your task manager, and even send reminders in your team chat so nothing slips through the roof.

✅ 5. Streamline your social media posting
Posting manually on every platform is a full-time job.

Instead, automate cross-posting from Instagram, YouTube, or your blog to other platforms or build a content queue with tools like Buffer.

Your content gets shared, you stay top of mind. No burnout involved.

The truth is, if you do it more than twice, you can probably automate it.

Automation isn’t about replacing people. It’s about freeing them (and you) from tedious, low-value work so you can focus on what actually grows the business.

5 Workflows You Can Automate With Chatbase and Zapier (and Why You Should)

If your business still relies on you (or your team) to answer the same questions over and over again, it’s time to bring in reinforcements, and I don’t mean hiring more people.

I’m talking about smart automation using AI and no-code tools like chatbase

An AI chatbot builder powered by OpenAI’s models that lets you train a chatbot on your own company data; internal documents, website links, and more, so the answers it gives are tailored to your business.

It’s fast, consistent and scalable.

But here’s the thing…

Answering questions is just one part of the equation.
What happens after someone gets a response?
What about the tasks that come next?assignments, emails, updates etc

That’s where automation comes in.
By connecting Chatbase to Zapier, you can take every chatbot interaction and turn it into a trigger that powers automated workflows behind the scenes.

Here are five high-impact ways to automate your business with this combo:

1. Sort, Label, and Prioritize Your Inbox

Let’s say your AI chatbot handles inquiries from employees or customers.

With Zapier, you can instantly:

Tag the conversation based on topic

Assign a priority level

Route it to the right team or inbox

Log it into your CRM or task manager

No more digging through email threads or guessing what’s urgent.

2. Onboard New Employees Smoothly

After a new hire uses the chatbot to ask about training, policies, or benefits…

Zapier can:

Enroll them in onboarding checklists

Send them login credentials or docs

Notify HR or IT to complete setup tasks

Assign them a welcome buddy all without you manually doing a thing.

3. Assist with Support Tickets and Customer Issues

Instead of bouncing between chatbot responses and support dashboards

You can automate:

Creating new tickets in your helpdesk tool

Tagging and categorizing the issue

Notifying the right support rep

Updating ticket status as conversations continue

Faster resolution, fewer dropped balls. And your support team stays in sync.

4. Build project briefs and templates on the go

If your team is chatting with the bot about a new campaign, feature, or idea, you can turn that into action by automatically generating:

A structured project brief

Tasks and deadlines in your project manager

Team assignments based on the brief

A follow-up notification to the project lead, from chat to kickoff in seconds.

5. Summarize transcripts and business info

Whether it’s meeting transcripts, customer interviews, or internal documents…

You can use Chatbase to generate a summary, then have Zapier:

Send it to the relevant Slack channel

Store it in Notion or Google Drive

Email it to your leadership team

Create a searchable knowledge base entry.

Now your knowledge isn’t just trapped in conversations, it’s captured and used.

If you’ve done the same task more than twice this week… it’s likely begging to be automated.

Let’s talk about real automation, not just a trendy buzzword, but the kind that actually saves you from drowning in repetitive tasks.

Here’s what automation looks like in the real world:

You run a small event-planning business. A client submits your booking form.
Ideally, you’d want to:

Store their details in your database

Send them a confirmation email

Update your project tracker

Notify your team

But when it’s all manual? You’re sifting through inboxes, copying and pasting data, writing emails, updating spreadsheets, and pinging the group chat...

That’s manageable for one booking. But when business scales? It becomes chaos.

Now imagine this:

✅ Booking form is filled out
✅ Details are automatically stored
✅ A confirmation email is sent instantly
✅ Your project tracker updates itself
✅ Your team gets notified, without you lifting a finger

No lagging, no “Oh no, I forgot, just a smooth, silent system working in the background.

That’s the power of automation:
Set the rules once. The system follows them every time.

Here’s what you gain:

Hours back every week

Fewer costly mistakes

Streamlined workflows

More time for strategic or creative work

Whether it’s managing leads, sending emails, or syncing your tools, if you’re still doing it manually, it’s time to let automation take over.

I help businesses design simple, no-code automation systems that take the weight off your plate.

If your process still relies on memory or sticky notes, let's talk.

22/07/2025

Still doing everything manually in your business?

Have you imagined what your business would look like if you could:

✅ Save 15+ hours every week
✅ Respond to leads instantly (even while you sleep)
✅ Onboard new clients automatically
✅ Track every sale, task & follow-up in one clean dashboard
✅ Scale your revenue without scaling your stress?

Sounds out of reach but not if your backend is automated.

If you’re a coach, consultant, or agency owner juggling:

– Lead follow-ups
– Client onboarding
– Proposal sending
– Calendar scheduling
– CRM updates

Then…it’s only a matter of time before the chaos sets in. 😩

Here’s the truth:
👉 You don’t need more hours.
👉 You need smarter systems

So if you're still relying on sticky notes, Google Sheets, or memory…

You're not just wasting time.
You're leaking clients, leads, and money and it's time to ditch the repetitive time wasting tasks 💡

Why most AI advice is garbage, and what actually works

Here's the truth, ChatGPT won’t make you rich overnight.

But it can help you get five times more done in a day, if you know how to use it right.

And that’s the part no one talks about.

Most of the AI advice online sounds like this:
“Just copy this prompt and watch the magic happen.”

But copying prompts isn't a strategy.
It’s digital laziness dressed as productivity.
And that’s why most people get stuck in the wow phase instead of the win phase.

The truth?
The people getting real results are the ones building systems, not just testing prompts.

Let me give you a real example.
In my business, I use AI to automate things like:

Responding to repetitive emails

Sending onboarding documents instantly

Summarizing client briefs in seconds

Drafting content outlines before I even touch a keyboard

These small workflow upgrades save me hours.
Not because AI is “doing the work for me,” but because it’s helping me focus on what matters most.

The moment you decides to treat AI like a full-time assistant not a magic wand everything changes.

So I’m curious...

How are you currently using AI in your work or business?
Or are you still trying to figure out where to even start?

Drop your thoughts in the comments. Let’s
share real ideas, not fluff.

Top 5 Time management Tips For Busy Professionals + Key takeaways

Time is your most valuable resource and managing it effectively isn’t just about getting more done, it’s about creating space for what truly matters in both your personal and professional life.

As Johann Wolfgang von Goether rightly put it “Things which matter most must never be at the mercy of things which matter least.”

Not all tasks are created equal. The ability to identify what truly matters is critical for staying productive and achieving meaningful results

To make time management truly effective, it’s important to understand and address the underlying challenges that often hinder productivity

Here are the top 5 tips to help you manage your time effectively as a busy professional while refining your approach where necessary;

1. Understand Your Peak Productivity Hours:
Not everyone is equally productive at certain times of the day or throughout the day.

Some people are more focused in the morning, while others thrive in the afternoon or evening.

Aligning your most critical tasks with your peak hours ensures better outcomes.

So track your energy levels over a week to identify your peak hours, then schedule high-priority work during those times to enhance your productivity

2. Batch Similar Tasks Together:
Switching between unrelated tasks consumes time and drains your and mental energy.

So dedicates specific block of time for similar activities like attending meetings and replying to emails

This helps reduces the cognitive stress and it's attendant impact on your productivity
For instance, you can have one block of time for administrative work and another for creative tasks.

3. Embrace the Two-Minute Rule:
If a task takes less than two minutes to complete, do it immediately rather than adding it to your to-do list.

This prevents minor tasks from accumulating and distracting you.

Small tasks can pile up and overwhelm your schedule.

4. Break Free from the trap of perfectionism:
This might sounds like unpopular opinion but let's face it, striving for perfection can more often than not leads to procrastination or inefficiency.

Focus on completing tasks well enough to meet their purpose without overanalyzing or overworking them which could lead to avoidable delays and missing deadline

Understand that some time “done is better than perfect “, always set time limits for specific tasks.

5. Review and Reflect Weekly:
Dedicate 15 minutes every Friday to reflect on your progress and plan for the upcoming week.

Time management isn’t something that should be static,it needs to be flexible to accommodate regular review and evaluation.

Reviewing your week helps you identify what worked, what didn’t, and where adjustments are needed for improvement.

Key takeaways:
As Stephen Covey wisely said, “The key is in not spending time, but in investing it.” These tips, combined with discipline and regular reflection, can transform your time management habits and lead to greater success in both your career and personal life.

Which of these tips resonates most with you? And which will you start implementing today?
