For Hire - How I’ve Been Using N8N, Make & Zapier to Automate Businesses

Hey everyone, Anes here.

Over the last few months, I’ve been diving deep into automation and building workflows that save founders hours of manual work every week. Thought I’d share some examples of what’s possible with tools like N8N, Make, and Zapier:

File + data management (Google Drive, Dropbox, Notion syncs)
Lead scraping & enrichment (Apollo, LinkedIn, etc.)
AI-powered email personalization & follow-ups
Client onboarding automations (contracts, invoices, Slack/Telegram/CRM sync)
Invoice + payment automations (Stripe, PayPal, Wise integrations)
Appointment booking workflows (Calendly/Cal.com + CRM + reminders)
Dead lead reactivation & re-engagement campaigns
Automated backups & data safety flows
Custom API and webhook integrations
API + webhook connections (custom integrations when tools don’t “talk” to each other)

And more...

The cool part is how these can scale:

A small automation might be something like “new Apollo lead → neatly added into Google Sheets.”
A medium one could be “new client signs contract → auto-added to CRM + onboarding emails + Slack notifications.”
A large system might handle an entire sales pipeline from scraping → enrichment → outreach → reporting.

I’ve noticed that once a business implements even one of these, it changes the way they operate freeing up mental space and time for higher-value work.

Not sure what can be automated in your business? Just send a Dm and I can take a quick look at your process and suggest what’s realistic?
