The brief: give clients one place to track their projects, invoices, and files without digging through email threads or asking “what’s the status?”
What it does:
✅ Role-based dashboards, each client sees only their own projects and data
✅ Live project tracking (In Progress, Todo, Done)
✅ Invoice status at a glance (Paid, Unpaid, Payment Sent)
✅ Centralized file sharing per project
Built entirely with Airtable + Softr, no custom code, fully automated data sync.
This is exactly the kind of system I love building: it replaces scattered spreadsheets and email chains with something clients actually enjoy using.
If your business is still managing client updates manually, I’d love to show you what this could look like for you.

The client wanted a simple way to manage new renovation leads and make sure no inquiry was missed.
I set up a HighLevel workflow that collects new leads, checks their budget, sorts them by priority, and sends a confirmation email right away.
The client also wanted follow up emails to stop when a lead replied, so I added that as well
After setting everything up, the client had a simple system that handled new leads automatically. Leads were captured, sorted by priority, contacted right away, and followed up without the team having to do it manually.
This helped the client save time, stay on top of new inquiries, and make sure good leads did not get missed.
The reply detection stopping the follow up sequence is the detail that separates a well built workflow from one that annoys leads into going cold. most people set up the follow up and forget to add the exit condition. that one addition alone changes how the whole system feels to the person on the receiving end
I designed a recurring business reporting and notification system that organizes data in Excel, uses Power Automate to generate consistent reports, and automatically sends updates to the appropriate stakeholders. The system reduces manual reporting, improves accuracy, and helps teams get timely information without relying on repeated copy-and-paste work.

I designed an employee intake and routing workflow that collects incoming requests through a structured form, organizes the information in Excel, and uses Power Automate to route each request to the appropriate person or team. The system helps reduce manual follow-up, keeps requests organized in one place, and creates a more consistent process for tracking status, ownership, and next steps.
