Choosing your no-code tool in 5 minutes

  • Need simple, fast wins → Zapier.
  • Need complex branching/loops → Make.
  • Need to self-host for privacy → n8n.

Three workflows worth cloning

  1. Inbox triage — incoming email → AI classifies → labels + drafts reply for review.
  2. Weekly digest — Slack channels + calendar → AI summarizes → posted Monday 8am.
  3. Lead enrichment — new form submission → AI researches public profile → CRM note.

Common mistakes

  • Building before measuring the manual version.
  • Auto-sending external messages without a review gate.
  • Free-tier rate limits silently dropping runs.
