Simplify your
freelance routine
with automated workflows
Does it take you too many clicks to switch across various platforms, messengers, and channels to check all news, tasks, and updates from clients? Or do you repeat the same action over and over, for example, copy-paste or send out the same messages?
What if you could use automated workflows to:
- Connect Google Sheets to MySQL with no code…
- Create an AI-driven tweet generator bot in 10 minutes…
- Create an email campaign in Airtable from LinkedIn post interactions…
This is all possible and doesn’t require any special knowledge or skills! Just drag and drop things around to set up. And you will be able to spend your time actually doing the work instead of juggling applications and doing monotonous tasks.
Use case of automated workflows
For example, let’s say you are an SMM manager for a company in charge of writing content and posting on several channels (e.g. Instagram, LinkedIn, and Facebook) daily. It would take an hour to write a post and then another hour to log into all 3 channels and copy-paste the text to create posts.
But with workflow automation, you can create a rule that automatically creates posts once the text is approved. You will save 1 hour each day, which is 7 hours a week! I don’t know if you are impressed, but I am finishing this post now and going to set up the automation for myself (Etcetera smm manager speaking :D).
Even if you are a designer or developer and can’t relate to the SMM case, I’m sure you will be able to find a workflow in your routine that can be automated to save your time and improve productivity.
