I designed a property management workflow in Zapier that integrates Airtable, Slack, and webhooks to automate vendor and property record handling.
The setup includes duplicate checks, conditional paths, and automated messaging, reducing manual intervention while keeping data clean and communication consistent.
It’s a great example of how I approach complex automation challenges—breaking them down into clear logic paths and building systems that scale.
This workflow was a fun challenge to build lots of branching logic, but worth it to see property owners save time and avoid repetitive tasks. Excited to keep refining it.

How We Map Repeated Business Work Before Building Automation
A service agency came to us with a familiar problem: their team was manually chasing clients for updates, following up on internal tasks, and losing hours every week to the same repetitive loop.
Most people jump straight to "automate it." We don't.
Step 1: Map the mess first.
We shadowed the actual workflow. Who sends what, when, and why. Turns out, 60% of the follow-ups existed because there was no shared visibility into task status. People were pinging each other just to figure out where things stood.
Step 2: Fix the process before adding tech.
We restructured the handoff points. Clear ownership at each stage. One source of truth for task status. No more "just checking in" messages clogging up Slack.
Step 3: Layer automation on top of a clean process.
Only after the workflow made sense on paper did we wire up automated status updates, reminders, and escalation triggers. The automation didn't replace the process. It enforced it.
The result:
Fewer manual follow-ups. Faster handoffs. The team stopped chasing and started executing. The client said it felt like they "hired two extra people" without adding headcount.
The takeaway: Automation built on a broken process just breaks faster. Map it first. Clean it up. Then automate what's left.
For this project, I was completely exhausted, my eyes hurting badly.
But I refused to leave it halfway.
The more I learn, the more I realize businesses don’t actually have an information problem.
They have a retrieval problem.
That’s the problem I stayed up all night thinking about in #n8n. 😪
I’m interested in building systems that actually make things run better with my automation engineering skills.
