Automating the Boring Stuff

If you are doing a task more than twice, automate it. In 2026, manual data entry is a competitive disadvantage.

1. Automated Lead Qualification

Connect your contact form to OpenAI.

• Trigger: New form submission.
• Action: Send to GPT-4o to analyze budget and intent.
• Filter: If high value -> Slack alert to sales team. If low value -> Email nurture sequence.

2. Client Onboarding

When a contract is signed:

1. Create Google Drive folder.
2. Send Slack invite.
3. Create Trello/ClickUp board.
4. Email welcome packet.

All of this can happen in 0.5 seconds via a webhook.
