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.

Examples include auto-tagging inbound leads, sending instant SMS confirmations, and generating weekly pipeline summaries for your team.
Measure speed and quality gains
Measure before-and-after cycle time and error rates. The best workflows improve both speed and customer experience.
