For any service-based business, the time between a new lead arriving and the first meeting being booked is critical. Manual data entry and email-tag to find a meeting time cause massive Friction, leading to drop-offs and lost revenue.
This custom Make.com workflow creates a frictionless onboarding experience. It captures raw inquiry data from a Google Sheet, instantly processes and cleans that data, and uses it to automatically generate a calendar event in Google Calendar, keeping the sales pipeline moving 24/7 without human intervention.

✅ Stage 5 — New client outreach: personalised emails based on pain point
Built by a 20-year-old CA student who knows this industry from the inside.
Zero per-month cost. Runs free on n8n + Railway.
Looking for the first CA firm to implement this. If that’s you — let’s talk.
For the tax document checklist, I'd match uploads to both the client and tax period before marking an item complete. How do you handle a client uploading last year's statement or a replacement after the checklist has already cleared?
AI Email Automation with n8n and Google Gemini
An AI workflow that reads every incoming email, sorts it into 6 categories, and takes the right action automatically.
The problem: businesses lose time and leads because customer emails are mixed with promotions, job alerts, and security emails.
What I built:
Gmail Trigger that picks up each new email
AI Text Classifier (Google Gemini) with 6 categories: Security Alert, Promotions, Jobs, Personal, Payments, and Client Inquiries
Automatic Gmail labels for every category
Google Sheets log for jobs, leads, and payments
AI information extraction for client emails (name, phone, service, budget)
AI-written reply drafts for client emails, saved as drafts so a person approves every reply
Instant Discord alerts for security, payment, and client emails
Tools: n8n, Google Gemini, Gmail, Google Sheets, Discord
This project is a working demo built on my own inbox. The same system can be adapted to any business email, such as travel agencies, event venues, stores, recruiters, and consultants.
Impressive workflow! I especially like the human approval step for AI-written replies. Automation with the right oversight makes a real difference. 🙌
