Sometimes it's the simplest smart workflows that make the biggest difference 😍

Just set up one of the simplest of all in Zapier
1. Gmail + ⭐️
2. Create new task in Todoist with link to email added as a comment

Kicking off this week's #designsprint for Smart Workflow Design

Looking for five people who are deciding which business processes to automate (first) to test a prototype of a new tool / process 🤔

If you're interested DMs are open

#smartworkflowdesign #nocode #automation

At StartCon I noticed that Zoho Stripe and twilio all had booths.

I quickly used Zapier to build a #startcon2019 smart workflow that connects all three tools.

Aron Korenblit Here are some visual notes I took on my iPad.

I want to create a simple, visual language to help nocde workflow automators and 'clients' to design smart workflows before building them. First attempt 👇

#nocode #smartworkflowdesign

Which business processes should a team automate first using #nocode tools? #smartworkflowdesign

Before you automate business processes, focus on simplifying them. There is no point connecting 5 different tools to complete an unnecessarily complex process when you could use 2 tools to automate a simpler version of the same process. #smartworkflowdesign

Business processes are essentially made up of three types of tasks: accessing information, making decisions and taking action.

These tasks could be performed by you or another party or both (e.g. helping a customer decide which phone plan to choose). #smartworkflowdesign

4/
Options: Trello, Todoist what else?
#smartworkflowdesign

2/ Once you've identified your most frequently used processes, you can then sort them by impact (i.e. financial, customer, etc) and start with the high frequency x low impact processes.

That way if something goes wrong early on, no harm is done 🙌🤖

Zach Klein Great example of solving a workflow challenge vs. making a ride hailing service. Rider hailing us one possible solution to getting from A to B #smartworkflowdesign

Mike Brevoort Built a quick lunch order bot to test this out. Workflows are quick and easy to create. Slack's #workflowbuilder connects triggers and actions without having to leave Slack (e.g. the form isn't a Typeform with a Zap that sends a notification to Slack) 🙌 #smartworkflowdesign

Parabola Colleen M. Brady Thanks for playing 🙌 There's your answer Colleen M. Brady

In my specific use case, my form has two fields:
1. Your email
2. First name

Entering a full name is probably a habit and isn't common. Going to just remove the name field!

Carlous Ben Tossell Andrew Davidson Zapier @landenapp Airtable @revue 💯 they are related but distinct problems to solve. Building a #nocode app is just what it sounds like. Output is an app / website. What I call #smartworkflowdesign is more about automating manual workflows. Output is less manual work / speed / scale.
