A study by Velocify shows that lead conversion jumps by 391% if you respond immediately. But in reality, nobody can be available 24/7 to respond immediately. I built a workflow in make.com to handle this for less than $10/mo. It acts as a smart responder, so leads get an instant, human-sounding reply even if it's 3 AM locally. The logic looks like this: - Trigger: Email hits the inbox. - Analyze: Send the body text to OpenAI. I use a prompt that checks intent (is this a lead or spam?) and drafts a short, context-aware reply. - Filter: I block spam, so the automation doesn't reply to unqualified emails. - Reply: If it passes the filter, the draft gets sent. This is one of the simplest automations any company can employ, and see a drastic improvement in conversion rates. If you need the template for this automation, feel free to ping me.

Social media automation has changed the game. Today, you can automatically generate high quality images and videos and post them across your platforms without lifting a finger. This means more consistency, faster content creation, and more time to focus on what truly matters: strategy, growth, and engagement. Automation doesn’t replace creativity, it amplifies it. Work smarter. Stay visible. Scale effortlessly. Samuel Brands Automation Specialist
