Repetitive work between your apps — leads into Sheets, invoices into your tracker, alerts into your inbox — automated with n8n workflows that I build, test and document, so the system keeps running without you.
Your business runs on repetitive manual work — copying form entries into a sheet, chasing overdue invoices, re-typing the same data into three different tools, building the same report every week. I build
the automation that does that work for you: small, reliable systems on Google Sheets and Apps Script, connected to the tools you already use, delivered working in your own accounts.
Every build starts from two working samples I can show you before you order: a Lead Intake & Alert System (new leads validated, assigned round-robin to your team, stamped into a pipeline, and announced by instant email alert, with a live status dashboard) and an Invoice Reminder System (overdue invoices chased automatically on a friendly → firm → final schedule, engineered so a stage can never be sent twice). Your system is designed around your process the same way.
WHAT YOU GET IN EVERY PACKAGE
• A written automation plan before I build: what will be automated, which tools connect, and exactly what the finished system will and will not do — agreed with you in writing first
• The working automation, installed in your own Google account (and your own tool accounts where a connection needs one)
• Clean, commented code that any future developer can read and extend — you are never locked in to me
• Plain-English setup and user documentation, written for a non-technical reader
• A recorded test run against sample data before handover, with the results shown to you
• A safety-first rollout: where a system sends emails or changes data, it starts in a log-only/preview mode so you approve real behaviour before it goes live
• Failure visibility built in: if a row cannot be processed or a step fails, the system flags it in the sheet and writes it to the log — nothing ever fails silently, so you always see exactly what needs attention
HOW CONNECTIONS WORK
Systems are built Google Sheets-first, with Apps Script doing the work. Other tools are connected via the tools' own connectors/APIs, or via a Google Sheets bridge (the tool exports/syncs to a sheet; the automation works from there). You keep ownership of every account and subscription — I never include, resell, or ask you to fund a paid tool account on my side, and any tool that needs a paid plan is named in the written plan before we start, so there are no surprises.
PACKAGES
Starter — Single Workflow Build — $390: ONE automation end to end (for example: lead intake + alerts, invoice reminders, a form-to-sheet pipeline with validation, or an automated recurring report). Connects up to 2 tools (a Google Sheet counts as one). Scope limit: one clearly defined workflow, up to 5 automation rules/triggers inside it. Includes the written plan, installation in your account, documentation, sample-data test run, and 7 days of fix support after delivery. Turnaround: 5 business days.
Growth — Business System — $850: up to 3 connected workflows/tools working as one system (for example: lead intake + owner alerts + weekly KPI dashboard + invoice reminders). Includes everything in Starter, PLUS a live dashboard (status counts/KPIs in Google Sheets, refreshed by the system), staged/log-only rollout for every email-sending part, and 14 days of fix support. Scope limit: 3 workflows, one dashboard, up to 10 automation rules/triggers in total. Turnaround: 10 business days.
Scale — Automation Partner — $1,800: up to 6 workflows built as one operating system for the business, everything in Growth, PLUS priority build order, a handover walkthrough document for your team, and 30 days of fixes and support after delivery. Scope limit: 6 workflows and up to 20 automation rules/triggers in total; new workflows beyond the six are quoted separately, in writing, before any work. Turnaround: agreed in writing per system, typically 15–20 business days.
After any build, ongoing support and small changes are available on retainer from $500/month — priority response, a monthly block of improvements, and monitoring of the systems I built for you. No retainer is ever required; your systems keep working without one.
HOW IT WORKS
You describe the process you want automated (a few sentences is enough) and the tools involved.
2. I reply in writing with the automation plan: scope, connections, fixed price, delivery date — and anything I cannot do, stated plainly. No work starts before you approve the plan.
3. I build and test against sample data inside a copy, so your live data is never the test subject.
4. You review the test behaviour (logs, sample outputs, dashboard) and approve the go-live.
5. I install it in your accounts, hand over the documentation, and your support period starts.
WHAT I NEED FROM YOU
• A short written description of the process: what happens today, step by step, and what you want to happen automatically
• Access to the Google account the system should live in (I will tell you exactly what to share — never your password)
• For each tool to be connected: your own account in that tool, and whether it has an API/connector or exports to Google Sheets — if you don't know, I will check and tell you in the plan
• Sample data or a blank template of any sheet/file the process uses, and the email wording/tone you prefer for any automated messages
WHAT IS NOT INCLUDED
• Paid subscriptions for any third-party tool — accounts and plans stay yours
• Building a custom website, mobile app, or a public-facing software product (this service automates business workflows; it is not product development)
• Entering or cleaning large volumes of historical data by hand — if your existing data needs cleanup first, I will quote it separately and honestly before we start
• Guarantees about a third-party tool's uptime or future API changes — if a tool changes its API, fixes are covered during your support period and quoted fairly after it
• Anything that requires voice or video calls: everything — planning, updates, delivery, support — is handled in writing, in detail, so you always have a complete written record of your system
WHY BUY FROM ME
I have 7 years of experience in spreadsheet and data work — Google Sheets and Excel systems, Apps Script and VBA automation, data cleaning, dashboards, and lead/data pipelines for clients worldwide. Automation is only worth buying if it keeps working after the freelancer leaves: that is why my builds are commented, documented in plain English, tested in front of you, and installed in your own accounts. If a workflow cannot be automated reliably, I will tell you in the plan stage — before you pay — rather than sell you something fragile.
Ready to describe your process? Send me what you do today, step by step, and the tools involved — and I will reply with your written automation plan, fixed price, and delivery date.
Everything runs in writing — brief, sample, progress updates and delivery — no calls needed.
