In most companies, hours disappear every week into repetitive work: copying data between tools, reminding the team, compiling reports. n8n is a flexible automation platform that connects your apps and runs these tasks for you. Here are seven good places to start.
1. Route new leads to sales
When someone fills a form on your site or a Meta lead ad, they are logged to your CRM or a Google Sheet, assigned to a rep in rotation, and the rep gets a WhatsApp alert within seconds.
2. Follow-up reminders
If no contact is logged within a set number of hours, the rep — then the sales manager — gets a reminder. No lead is forgotten.
3. A daily sales report on WhatsApp
Every morning, leadership receives a summary of new leads, orders, revenue and top campaigns — without opening a dashboard.
4. Store order confirmations
A new WooCommerce or Shopify order sends the customer a confirmation, creates a shipment with your courier and updates your inventory sheet.
5. Abandoned cart recovery
Someone added a product but did not pay? A friendly message after an hour, and a time-limited offer if needed.
6. AI-assisted triage
Incoming emails and WhatsApp messages are classified (pricing, complaint, support), summarised and routed to the right person.
7. Backups and monitoring
Scheduled backups of key data to Google Drive, plus instant alerts if your website or a form stops working.
How to start
Do not automate everything at once. Pick one repetitive, painful task, document how it works today, automate it and test it with your team — then expand. If you would like help mapping the right automations for your company, talk to the BEILYXO advisor.
