Compliance-Aware Email + SMS Follow-Up Automation.
A sales team was making cold calls and losing the follow-up. Leads that asked to be contacted later had no reliable path back into the funnel, and the team had no way to guarantee they were respecting opt-in rules. I built a follow-up automation that handles the timing and the compliance in one system.
The workflow triggers when a call ends with a follow-up disposition, then runs a 3-day timed sequence of email and SMS touches. Before any message goes out, the system checks the contact's opt-in status, and any contact on the blacklist is skipped entirely. Follow-ups only ever go to people who asked for them.
Every step is visible in the CRM timeline, so the team can see exactly where each lead is in the sequence, and a human can take over at any point without breaking the flow. It turns "we'll follow up" from a promise into a guarantee, without adding another manual task to the day.

What actually shipped across every client this month:
A lead qualification bot, an inbox triage system, a contract automation flow, and a hiring screen different clients, same principle: automate the repetitive part, keep a human on anything that needs judgment.
→ Happy to walk through any of these in more detail.
Seeing the lead qualification bot take the first pass on prospects really frees up the team for deeper conversations. The inbox triage does the same for support tickets, letting agents focus on the tricky cases.
How 40 resumes become 5 shortlisted, automatically:
1. Resumes screened against the actual role criteria
2. Ranked by fit, not just keyword count
3. Top matches surfaced for a human to review, same day

Good structure. The part I would add is a review queue for low-confidence parsing and duplicate records. Ranking is only useful if the recruiter can see why someone matched and correct the data before it becomes the source of truth.
Henna by Sakina, Lahore 🌿
A home-based bridal mehndi artist who lost hours every day to WhatsApp quotes, advance chasing and double bookings now turns any inquiry into a confirmed, deposit-backed booking in minutes.
My sister runs Henna by Sakina, named after her daughter. Every booking used to start on WhatsApp: "What's your rate? Is the 14th free? Will you come to DHA?" She answered every message and worked out every quote by hand, often late into the night.
What I built with Lovable:
✓ AI chat that understands English and Roman Urdu and gives an exact quote from her real price list
✓ One bride per day: taken dates are refused and the nearest free dates are suggested
✓ Dates held for 24 hours, then released automatically
✓ Advance payment details, screenshot upload and one-tap approval
✓ Owner dashboard with a follow-up list, one-tap WhatsApp messages and a calendar
✓ A gallery of her real mehndi work
Before: every inquiry meant long chats and hand-made quotes.
After: quotes are instant, holds expire on their own, advances are tracked and follow-ups take one tap.

Turning each WhatsApp inquiry into a deposit backed booking in minutes must have freed up huge creative time for her. Watching the double booking risk disappear probably makes the day feel a lot smoother.
