📞 Book a Free ConsultationWhat This Package Actually Does
At its core, this package helps you eliminate repetitive manual tasks by building custom automations that work reliably behind the scenes, so you can focus on work that actually grows your business.
Most small businesses and startups waste hours each week on tasks that should run themselves—copying data between tools, sending follow-up emails, generating reports, or triggering notifications. These workflows aren't hard, they're just tedious and error-prone.
After implementation, these workflows run automatically. No more remembering to send that email. No more manual data entry. No more "I forgot to update the spreadsheet."
What changes: your team stops spending time on busywork. What you no longer worry about: whether routine tasks are getting done correctly and on time.
Who This Package Is Best For
Great Fit If You
- You or your team spend hours each week on repetitive tasks that follow the same pattern every time
- You're manually copying data between apps (CRM to spreadsheet, form to email, etc.)
- You want to improve response time for leads, customers, or internal requests without hiring more people
- You've tried DIY automation tools like Zapier but hit limits or couldn't get them to work the way you need
- You need something fast and affordable—not a months-long enterprise project
- You're open to a short discovery call to identify the highest-impact workflows to automate
🚫Not a Great Fit If You
- You need a fully custom enterprise workflow system—this sprint is focused on 1–2 workflows, not a comprehensive overhaul
- Your workflows change constantly or don't follow consistent patterns yet
- You're looking for ongoing automation support or maintenance—this is a one-time build (though you can always add more later)
- Your team isn't ready to adopt new tools or change how they currently work
Real-World Examples
Example 1: E-commerce Store Owner
Problem: Manually creating invoices and sending order confirmations for every sale—taking 5–10 minutes per order, often delayed until end of day.
Solution: Built an automation that triggers when a Stripe payment completes: generates a PDF invoice, emails it to the customer, logs the order in Airtable, and posts a summary to Slack.
Result: Saved 2+ hours per day, improved customer experience with instant confirmations, and eliminated the end-of-day invoice backlog.
Example 2: Agency Founder
Problem: New leads from website forms were sitting unread in an inbox for hours before anyone followed up, leading to lost conversions.
Solution: Connected the form to their CRM (HubSpot), automatically assigned leads to team members based on service type, and sent instant Slack notifications with lead details and a one-click link to respond.
Result: Response time dropped from 4+ hours to under 15 minutes. Lead-to-customer conversion rate increased by 23% in the first month.
Example 3: SaaS Startup Team
Problem: Generating weekly product metrics reports required manually pulling data from three different sources, copying it into a spreadsheet, and formatting it for the team—every Monday morning.
Solution: Built a Python script that pulls data from their database, Google Analytics, and Mixpanel, compiles it into a formatted report, and emails it to the team automatically every Monday at 8 AM.
Result: Reclaimed 90 minutes every week, eliminated manual errors, and gave the team consistent, on-time insights to start their week.
What You Can Expect After Implementation
- Time Savings:
Reclaim hours each week that were previously spent on manual, repetitive tasks
- Faster Response Times:
Instant notifications and automated follow-ups mean customers and leads get responses in minutes, not hours
- Reduced Errors:
Eliminate copy-paste mistakes, missed steps, and "I forgot to do that" moments
- Better Data Consistency:
Information flows smoothly between your tools—no more outdated spreadsheets or missing entries
- Peace of Mind:
Stop worrying about whether routine tasks are getting done—they just happen, reliably, every time
- Scalability:
Your workflows can handle 10x the volume without requiring 10x the team
How the Process Works
1Discovery & Planning
We start with a short discovery call (30–45 minutes) to understand your workflows, identify the 1–2 highest-impact tasks to automate, and map out the triggers, actions, and desired outcomes. You'll walk away with a clear plan of what we're building.
2Build & Configuration
I build the automation using the right tool for your needs—whether that's Python scripts, Zapier/Make workflows, Airtable automations, or custom API integrations. You get access to watch progress and provide quick feedback as needed.
3Testing & Iteration
Before going live, we test the automation with real (or near-real) data to make sure it handles edge cases, errors, and unexpected inputs gracefully. If something doesn't work as expected, we adjust it—no surprises.
4Delivery & Walkthrough
Once it's live, I walk you and your team through how it works, how to monitor it, and how to make simple edits if needed. You also get documentation and access to the automation code/configuration—it's yours to keep and modify.
Tools & Technology Used
The right tool depends on your workflows, existing tech stack, and future flexibility needs. Here's what's typically used in Automation Sprint projects:
Automation Platforms
Zapier, Make (formerly Integromat), n8n — Used for no-code/low-code automations that connect popular apps like Google Sheets, Slack, HubSpot, Stripe, and more. Great for speed and ease of editing later.
Custom Scripts
Python, Node.js — Used for more complex workflows, custom data transformations, or when you need full control and don't want to rely on third-party platforms. Can be hosted on your own server or cloud.
Database & Workflow Tools
Airtable, Google Sheets, Notion — Used as central hubs for data collection, triggering automations, or storing results. Often combined with automation platforms for easy team access.
API Integrations
Custom API connections — Used to connect tools that don't have native integrations or to build more reliable, performant workflows than platform connectors allow.
Monitoring & Error Handling
Logging, alerts, retry logic — Every automation includes basic error handling so you get notified if something breaks (and it doesn't just silently fail).
Note: Tool choice depends on your stack—I adapt to what you already use and what makes the most sense for your team's technical comfort level.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does this take?
Most Automation Sprint projects are delivered in 2–4 days after the discovery call. Simple workflows (like form-to-CRM) can be done in a day; more complex multi-step automations may take the full 4 days.
Do I need to be technical to use this?
No. The automation runs behind the scenes—you don't need to write code or understand how it works. I'll show you how to monitor it and make simple changes if you want, but it's designed to "just work."
Will this work with my existing tools and website?
In most cases, yes. If your tools have APIs, webhooks, or are supported by platforms like Zapier, they can be connected. If you're using custom or legacy software, we'll discuss options during the discovery call—sometimes a workaround is needed.
Is this a one-time setup or will I need ongoing support?
It's a one-time build with no lock-in. The automation is yours to keep and modify. If you want help adding more workflows later or need troubleshooting, you can book another sprint or request ongoing support—but it's not required.
What if something breaks or stops working?
Every automation includes error handling and logging so you'll be notified if something fails. If a connected tool changes its API or a workflow needs adjustment, you can either fix it yourself (with the documentation provided) or request a quick update.
Can I automate more than 1–2 workflows?
Absolutely. The sprint is scoped to 1–2 workflows to keep the timeline short and the price accessible. If you want to automate more, you can book additional sprints or we can design a custom package with more comprehensive automation coverage.
How much does it cost?
Starting at $220 for a focused sprint covering 1–2 workflows. Final price depends on complexity, number of tools involved, and any custom API work required. You'll get a clear quote after the discovery call—no surprises.
What happens if I'm not happy with the result?
We test and iterate together during the build process, so you see progress and can request changes before delivery. If something isn't working as expected at the end, I'll fix it—no additional cost.
Next Steps
If you think this could help your business, the next step is a short call to see if it's a good fit. We'll identify the workflows that would save you the most time, map out what we'd build, and give you a clear timeline and price.
No obligation. No pressure. Just a quick conversation to see if automation makes sense for your business right now.
