Think about how much time you spend every week doing the same things.
Replying to customer emails.
Following up with potential clients.
Updating spreadsheets.
Managing leads.
Moving information between applications.
Sending reminders and notifications.
Now ask yourself:
𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆?
Many repetitive business tasks can be automated, yet businesses continue spending valuable hours doing them manually.

Imagine a workflow where:
• A customer submits an inquiry, and their details are automatically recorded.
• Incoming emails are categorized, and relevant replies are drafted for review.
• New leads are added to your CRM without manual data entry.
• Important tasks trigger notifications and reminders automatically.
• Your business applications exchange information without constant copying and pasting.
• AI helps process documents, organize information, and handle repetitive administrative work.

That's what I help businesses build.
I've launched my new service on Contra:
𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝗔𝗜 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀
I build workflows using n8n, Python, and APIs to connect business applications, reduce repetitive work, and simplify daily operations.
My approach is simple:
• Understand your existing business process.
• Identify the repetitive tasks taking up your time.
• Build an automation workflow around your actual needs.
• Test the workflow and make sure it performs as intended.

You don't have to automate everything overnight. Sometimes, solving just one repetitive problem is the best place to start.
Your time should go toward growing your business, not repeating tasks that a system could handle.

Nice range. For lead workflows, the piece that pays off most is keeping where each record came from. If an automation adds a company, store the source URL so someone can verify it before outreach. https://stackshortlist.dev works the same way for tech stack based lists.

Great work 👏
Automated Review Requests for Local Service Businesses
The Problem
Google reviews help local businesses get found, and every HVAC company, salon, cleaner and contractor knows it. Most of them ask for reviews inconsistently. The reason isn’t that they don’t care. Asking every customer, right after every job, depends on someone remembering at the exact moment the business is busiest. Happy customers never get asked, and the review count grows slower than it should.
The Solution
I built an n8n system that sends the review request automatically, once, at the right time, and tracks what happens next. Nobody gets asked twice and nobody gets forgotten.
How the System Works
1. Checks every 15 minutes. The workflow reads a Google Sheet that lists each job and what has already been sent. The sheet is the system’s memory, so nothing depends on timers that can fire twice.
2. Sends the request. Two hours after a job is marked complete, the customer gets an email with a review link.
3. Tracks the click. The link goes through a tracking step that records “clicked” in the sheet, then sends the customer to Google.
4. Sends one follow-up. If there’s no click after three days, one reminder goes out. Customers who clicked or opted out are skipped.
5. Alerts me on errors. A separate error workflow emails me if any step fails.
Why this design: every step re-checks the sheet before sending, so the system can’t double-send and a customer who already responded is never contacted again.
Tools: n8n, Gmail, Google Sheets
I'd test the tracking link with email security scanners before using clicks to suppress reminders. How do you distinguish an automated link check from a customer opening the review page?

Folding the entire post-purchase flow into Kajabi — confirmations, order forms, the whole sequence — is where the brand actually earns trust, not just the landing page. Worth checking whether the confirmation and post-purchase pages read consistently when a customer hits them on a small phone after a sweaty match.
