Repetitive tasks waste your time? Simple automation but never bothered to look into *how* to do it?

I wanted to monitor a friend's Facebook page and make it possible for anyone to sign up with their email to get a notification (with the content of the post) when he publishes a new item.

With the help of a freelancer, we built a simple Make.com automation that does exactly that.

Cost: $100, but once you learn the basics, it's a 30-minute effort.

This is extremely simple for anyone dealing with automation, but it's eye-opening for us the non-geeks and semi-geeks to see how easy it is to do.

And of course, the sky is the limit when it comes to "if/then" automations.

- event management

- briefing generation

- meeting preparation

- basic policy tracker,

- invoice management

- social media monitoring

- newsletter creation

…almost any workflow can be automated in a 100% customized way *exactly* the way you need it.

It's a paradigm shift once you dip your toe into it. Definitely so for me.

Are you using such tools? What's your experience?
