What this service covers

This is a per-hour engagement for building and improving business automations and AI-driven workflows across platforms such as Make and Zapier, with custom API links where needed. Message before ordering so the scope can be agreed.

  • Single Hour - one hour of engineering time, suited to a consultation, a workflow review, a small fix, or scoping a bigger job. Includes a written summary of recommendations, a follow-up on next steps, and 1 revision.
  • 5 Hour Block - five hours for a full workflow build or an AI integration into an existing process, covering app and API connections, conditional logic, error handling, testing, deployment and written documentation, with 2 revisions.
  • 10 Hour Block - ten hours for larger, multi-step systems: several workflows or one complex build, AI integration (Gemini, ChatGPT or a custom model), multi-platform connections, approval routing with a human step, full testing, deployment, complete documentation and handover, plus guidance on support afterwards. Includes 3 revisions.

You will need to supply the domain the order relates to and a brief describing what you need.

We design and build dependable automations that take repetitive manual tasks off your team's plate, freeing up time for higher-value work.

Behind this service is 15 years of experience running creative teams before moving into automation engineering, so the approach goes beyond simply linking apps together. We review how your operations actually run, spot where time and money are being lost, and build workflows with proper conditional logic, error handling and human approval steps built in where they matter.

This covers connecting AI models into your day-to-day communications, setting up multi-step approval chains that cross several platforms, or simply putting a stop to manual copying of data between spreadsheets and emails. The result is a system that runs without ongoing manual input.

Particular strengths include marketing automation - lead handling, email sequences, CRM syncing, campaign management, A/B testing flows and omnichannel strategy - alongside general operational automation for any process currently taking up unnecessary human hours.

Pricing is per hour. Get in touch before ordering so we can map your current processes, spot the best automation opportunities, and agree how many hours are needed. Then choose the matching quantity at checkout.

The aim is straightforward: remove the manual work that is holding your business back.

Questions people ask

Why do I need to message you before ordering?

Every business is set up differently, and each automation has to fit your particular tools, processes and team structure. A short chat before ordering means we can understand your needs, suggest the right approach, and give an accurate estimate of hours, so you neither overpay nor under-scope the work.

How do the hourly packages work?

Each package represents a set block of hours at the hourly rate. Choose the package matching your project's size, and use the quantity field to add further blocks if required - for example, ordering two of the mid-size package gives ten hours in total. Exact scope and deliverables are agreed before you place the order.

What if my project needs more hours than we estimated?

If a project looks likely to need more time than planned, this is flagged before any extra work begins. We then decide together whether to extend the scope or focus on the most valuable parts within the hours already agreed. No work is charged without prior agreement.

Which platforms do you work?

The main platforms used are Make (formerly Integromat) and Zapier, along with custom API and webhook connections for tools that are not natively supported. Common app ecosystems include Slack, Telegram, Google Workspace (Sheets, Docs, Gmail), various CRMs and Tally Forms, among many others. For an unusual tool stack, just ask - it can usually be connected.

Can you integrate AI into my existing workflows?

Yes, this is a particular area of focus. AI-powered pipelines can be built using Google Gemini and comparable models, working with either spoken or written input. Whether the aim is generating chatbot replies, processing form submissions, summarising documents, or making decisions inside a workflow, this can be built.

Do I need a Make or Zapier account?

Yes. You will need your own account on whichever platform is used for the build, since the workflow runs inside your account and on your plan. Advice can be given on which plan tier suits your automation's complexity and expected volume of use.

Will I be able to manage the automations after delivery?

Yes. Every build is delivered with written documentation covering how the workflow functions, what each step does, and how to make simple changes yourself. The intention is to hand over a system you can maintain with confidence, without needing outside help for every small adjustment.

What's the difference between Make and Zapier — which should I use?

Make tends to suit complex, multi-branch workflows with conditional logic and is often more cost-effective as things scale. Zapier is easier to maintain for simpler automations and offers a broader range of native app connections. During scoping, a recommendation will be made based on your specific situation.

Can you fix or improve automations someone else built?

Yes. Reviewing and rebuilding workflows built by others is a regular part of the work, particularly where they are poorly structured, generating errors, or have outgrown their original purpose. Share access to the current setup during scoping and it will be assessed for what needs fixing.

Do you handle marketing automation specifically?

Yes. Marketing automation is a core specialism, covering lead management flows, email sequences, CRM syncing, campaign management, A/B testing workflows and omnichannel strategy. Any marketing process still involving manual steps can typically be automated.
