This end-to-end workflow demonstrates how to automate a personalized welcome process using n8n, Google Sheets, Gemini, and other integrated tools. Here’s the step-by-step flow: 📊 Google Sheets Trigger – The workflow starts when a new hire is added to a spreadsheet. 🤖 Gemini AI – Generates a custom welcome email using the hire’s name, role, team, and even a fun personal fact. 📅 Google Calendar – Automatically creates a welcome meeting. 💬 Slack – Posts an announcement to the team channel introducing the new member. ✉️ Gmail – Sends the beautifully crafted email to the new hire. The best part? The AI personalization—like this email for Alex, our (fictional) pie-eating champion: "We heard you’re a national pie-eating champion – that’s quite a feat! We’re thrilled to have your unique talents and enthusiasm." This project showcases how automation can enhance onboarding—making it efficient, consistent, and genuinely welcoming. If you’re into automation or no-code workflows, I’d love to hear your thoughts!

hey my AIS Community, I’m beyond excited to connect with this incredible group – your energy and talent are what make our community so special! To be honest, I’m a total beginner who just got my first laptop in April 2025 to start learning. I’ve only mastered the basics, but I’ve been soaking up YouTube tutorials like a sponge, and I’m confident I know just enough to hit the streets of the Netherlands and find clients eager for automation solutions. The automation boom is here, and it’s the perfect time to jump in! I need two skilled professionals – an AI Business Strategist and an n8n Engineer – to form a tight, fun team that can deliver results fast while I learn on the job. If you’re one of these pros, let’s make money together with 2–3 weekly video calls (1 hour each) to strategize, laugh, and get things done. AI Business Strategist Role: - Create workflow diagrams (boxes and arrows) for small business tasks like sales, CRM, marketing, or customer support. - Understand small business operations and AI applications (e.g., CRMs like Salesflare, GDPR-compliant for the Netherlands). - Write clear briefs with schedules to guide the n8n Engineer in building automations. n8n Engineer Role: - Build and troubleshoot n8n workflows smoothly, handling triggers, JSON, and integrations (e.g., CRMs or iDEAL). - Develop automations, websites, or voice widgets from briefs, ensuring they’re secure and effective. - Share a bit of guidance to help me grow while delivering client-ready solutions. I’ll be out there finding clients, bringing enthusiasm, and learning from you as we go. You bring the expertise, and we’ll fairly split the rewards (details to be sorted in our calls). I may be new, but I’m determined, and with your skills, we can turn this opportunity into something amazing. If you’re ready for a respectful, enjoyable partnership, reply or reach me at [your contact info]. Let’s start small, have fun, and build something great together in the Netherlands!

Hello everyone, I've been working on a project to solve a classic problem: lead response time. The goal was to move from manual sorting to instant, AI-powered qualification and routing. I wanted to share the architecture I built and see what this community thinks. The Problem: Hot leads get cold when they sit in an inbox for hours. Manual lead scoring is slow and inconsistent. The Solution: A centralized system that automatically captures, enriches, scores, and routes every single lead instantly. How It Works: 1. Capture & Enrich: A web form trigger captures the lead. The workflow then pulls the company URL from the form to enrich the profile with additional data. 2. AI Scoring (The Brain): The enriched data is sent to Google Gemini. It scores the lead from 1-100 based on criteria stored in a Pinecone vector database (our "rulebook"). 3. Smart Routing: Hot leads (≥75) trigger an immediate CRM create, personalized email, and sales alert. Warm leads (25-74) are sent for sales review with a softer follow-up. Cold leads (<25) are logged for future nurturing, ensuring the sales team only focuses on the most promising opportunities. 4. Self-Learning: The system stays updated. New documents added to a Google Drive folder are automatically processed and added to the Pinecone knowledge base. Key Tools: n8n (orchestration), Google Gemini (AI analysis), Pinecone (vector database for rules). This has been an incredible learning experience in connecting AI models to real-world business automation. I'm really interested in this space. I'd love to get your thoughts: - What's the biggest bottleneck in your own lead process? - How are you thinking about using AI for automation?

I ran a small experiment recently (used nano banana). The results were shocking, but that’s not what stuck with me. What really hit me was the question it forced me to confront: - What happens when the smallest shifts in technology/behavior completely reshape the way we live, work, or even think? - When AI systems can outperform teams at speed and cost, how will agencies differentiate themselves beyond just “efficiency”? - What happens to the entire agency model when business owners can plug into off-the-shelf AI tools, do we evolve into something else, or get replaced? Curious to hear, how do you see it?
