One of my clients wanted to learn how to better handle customer feedback in their restaurant. The challenge was clear: they needed a simple way to collect responses, store them properly, and reply with personalized emails without adding extra manual work. For this tutorial project, I walked them through building an automated workflow in n8n. We set up a form submission trigger, organized the data with Google Sheets, and applied rules to separate feedback based on satisfaction. Then we connected OpenAI to generate thoughtful email bodies and subjects, while ensuring the output was clean and readable by converting HTML to text before sending it through Gmail. The whole setup gave my client a clear, hands-on understanding of how automation can save time while still keeping customer communication personal. The result was not just a working system, but also the confidence to manage and adapt it on their own.

The challenge was clear: the process of collecting, converting, and distributing marketing assets had become messy and time-consuming. Each step, downloading, formatting, uploading, and organizing, was being done manually, creating delays and pulling focus away from the real work that mattered. I started by breaking down the workflow into every step involved, then looked at where automation could step in. With the right mix of HTTP requests, file conversion, cloud storage integrations, and automated asset generation, I built a connected system that runs in the background without constant oversight. Now, assets flow automatically from start to finish, clean, consistent, and ready to use in minutes instead of hours. The difference was immediate: less time wasted on repetitive tasks, more time available for creative and strategic work. The real value wasn’t in adding more tools, but in making the existing ones talk to each other and removing friction from the process.

A client reached out with a challenge: they were receiving multiple form submissions with files, and managing them manually was becoming overwhelming. Each file had to be processed, cleaned, sent through external APIs, and converted back into a usable format — all before combining the results. I broke the problem into steps and built an automation workflow in n8n. Using a mix of extraction nodes, field edits, HTTP requests, custom code, and file conversion, I designed a system where every file was handled automatically and merged into one streamlined output. The tools were straightforward yet effective — n8n as the automation backbone, code nodes for logic, and integration nodes for API communication. This made the process fully automated while staying flexible to the client’s needs. The outcome was a smooth workflow that saved hours of manual work. Instead of juggling repetitive tasks, the client now has a reliable system running in the background. They felt a real sense of relief knowing their operations were finally under control.

Appointment booking isn’t just about filling a calendar. It’s about making it easy for clients to reach you without endless calls, texts, or emails. The right setup, online booking links, reminders, and synced calendars, takes the stress out of scheduling for both sides. For service-based businesses like salons, gyms, medical practices, consultants, and repair services, this can be a game changer. It cuts down on no-shows, saves admin time, and keeps customers happy. At the end of the day, people don’t want to chase you down to give you their business. The smoother the booking process, the faster you build trust and keep them coming back. 👉 Curious how scheduling automation could fit into your business?

The struggle was simple: calls kept coming in, but without a clear system, details slipped, calendars stayed messy, and follow-ups were often late or forgotten. Instead of spending hours patching things manually, I broke the process down step by step and rebuilt it inside Make (formerly Integromat). Webhooks captured call data right away. Google Calendar synced availability automatically. Custom rules made sure the right details went exactly where they needed to. Now, the entire flow runs on autopilot, calls log themselves, appointments confirm in real time, and nothing falls through the cracks. The result? No more stress, no more wasted time, just a smooth, dependable system that works in the background while the focus stays on what matters most.
