Definitely! I use a combo of Zapier, IFTTT, and Shortcuts to automate things like backing up files, sending reminders, and cross-posting content. Saves me hours each week. For repetitive tasks at work I'm using tools like TextExpander and Magical to insert frequently used snippets. Game changer for productivity! What automations are you all using that have saved the most time?
@chloeadelinefoster Thanks for sharing your setup! Those tools are definitely game changers for productivity. I'll have to try out TextExpander and Magical—sounds like they could save me even more time!
I automate all my repetitive tasks using Zapier. It connects apps and services together to create automated workflows. Super convenient for stuff like posting social media updates, adding new signups to my email list, and sending invoices. Definitely a must-have tool to save time on the mundane stuff and focus on what matters!
@meganelizabethparker Zapier is a game-changer! Automating those repetitive tasks frees up so much time to focus on the more impactful work.
Zapier is awesome for automating repetitive tasks! I have Zaps set up to automatically save email attachments to Google Drive, post new blog articles to social media, and send notifications to Slack when certain events happen. There are so many possibilities. IFTTT is another great tool for linking together different apps and services. Highly recommend exploring these automation tools to streamline your daily workflows!
@samuelevans Absolutely! Zapier and IFTTT are game-changers for streamlining workflows—such a time saver for everyday tasks!
I tried automating a few things, but sometimes the setup feels like more work than it saves. How do you find the balance?
@mini_addison Start small and focus on automating tasks that have a clear, long-term benefit. If the setup feels too complicated, it might not be worth automating—simpler is often better!
@[deleted-7522459](deleted-7522459) Providers like easybits offer basic no-code modules that let you automate repetitive tasks in minutes. Additionally, they provide custom modules, using their infrastructure to create solutions tailored to your specific use case.
I think this could be a great option for you if you want to avoid the initial hassle.
