Pick one bottleneck first

Good automation starts with one bottleneck, not a platform migration. Pick a repeated task that causes delays and map it end to end.

Start with high-frequency workflows

Examples include auto-tagging inbound leads, sending instant SMS confirmations, and generating weekly pipeline summaries for your team.
