Automate Digital 🤖

Your office supplies order themselves. Place an NFC tag in the supply closet. When stocks are low, a tap with a phone opens a form to request items. n8n processes requests every Friday and places a bulk order with the vendor.

Create an automated 'Market Pulse' survey. Use a tool to survey 100 people in your target market monthly. n8n collects the responses, analyzes trends over time, and updates a living 'Market Insights' document for strategy.

Your social media mentions are a lead source. When someone tweets 'Looking for a [your product category] tool,' n8n can immediately send you a push notification with the tweet, allowing you to engage while they're actively searching.

Automate your tax documentation. Forward receipts and 1099s to a dedicated email. n8n parses them, files them in a 'Tax Year 2024' folder by category, and populates a summary spreadsheet for your accountant.

Build a 'Customer Anniversary' bot. It checks your customer database daily. For customers hitting their 1-year mark, it sends a personalized thank you video from the CEO (pre-recorded) and a loyalty discount code.

Your backup internet connection should be seamless. Use n8n with a router that has an API. If the primary WAN fails, n8n can switch to the backup 5G connection and notify your team that you're on failover mode.

Turn a sales win into a celebration. When a deal is marked 'Closed-Won' in your CRM, n8n can post in the #wins Slack channel, order a small gift to the salesperson, and add a congratulatory task for the CEO to send a personal note.

Automate your content localization. When you publish a core blog post, n8n can send the text to a translation API, get drafts in 3 languages, and create unpublished localized versions for your regional managers to review.

Your team's time-off requests need processing. An employee submits a request in a form. n8n checks team calendar for conflicts, approves/denies based on pre-set rules, updates the shared calendar, and notifies payroll.

Create an automated 'Newsletter Curation' assistant. It scans your saved articles, suggested reads, and industry news, uses AI to pick a theme, drafts the introduction, and formats the links for your weekly subscriber email.

Your API's health affects customers. Monitor your own API endpoints with n8n. If response time degrades or errors spike, automatically scale up your cloud resources and post a status update before users complain.

Turn a support article view into a proactive offer. If a user views the 'Troubleshooting Slow Performance' article 3 times in a week, trigger an automated email offering a free performance audit with a customer engineer.

Automate customer segmentation. As customers interact (purchase, open email, visit a page), n8n updates their 'profile' in your CRM with real-time tags. Run hyper-targeted campaigns based on dynamic segments like 'High-Engagement, No Recent Purchase'.

Your brainstorming sessions need structure. At the end of a Miro board session, export the ideas. n8n can use AI to cluster similar ideas, remove duplicates, and rank them by potential impact vs. effort for prioritization.

Automate contract lifecycle management. Store contracts in a system with metadata. n8n scans for contracts expiring in 90 days, notifies the owner, and starts a renewal workflow in your project management tool.

Build a 'Holiday Mode' for your digital life. One trigger (like a Slack command '/holiday') can: set email auto-responder, pause social media posting, mute non-urgent notifications, and forward critical alerts to a colleague.

Your physical inventory needs a digital twin. Use a barcode scanner connected to a simple app. Each scan updates a cloud database. n8n monitors it, alerts for low stock, and can even generate reorder PDFs for your supplier.

Turn a webinar registration into a segmented experience. Registrants get a pre-webinar email series based on their job title (from the form). Executives get case studies, practitioners get technical checklists.

Automate your professional development. Set a goal to read 20 books a year. n8n can track your Goodreads, remind you if you're behind pace, and even suggest your next book based on recently read titles and ratings.

Your email campaign performance needs monitoring. If the open rate for a campaign drops below 15%, n8n can automatically pause it, notify the marketing team, and suggest A/B testing a new subject line.

Create an automated 'Bug Triage' system. When a new issue is filed in GitHub, n8n can label it based on the title/content, assign it to the correct team based on labels, and add it to the next sprint planning board.

Your password reset requests are a support burden. Build a secure, automated system using n8n's webhook trigger. User requests reset, gets a time-limited link, and can reset without ever involving your support team.

Turn a Google Alert into a summarized briefing. Instead of 10 separate emails, have n8n consume the RSS feed of your Google Alerts, use AI to summarize the 10 most important articles, and send you one cohesive morning email.

Automate your investment tracking. While you can't trade automatically without regulation, you can have n8n pull daily prices for your portfolio, calculate P&L, and compare against benchmarks, sending a weekly digest.

Build a 'Dead Link Checker' for your website. A monthly n8n workflow can crawl your sitemap, test every external link, and generate a report of broken links for your content team to fix, preserving SEO.

Your car's maintenance shouldn't rely on memory. Connect your car's digital service log (if available) or manually log fuel-ups. n8n can track mileage and send you an alert when it's time for an oil change or tire rotation.

Automate product launch coordination. Set a launch date. n8n creates a reverse timeline: 'Week before: finalize press release. Day before: schedule social posts. Hour before: enable landing page.' It assigns and reminds.

Your team's knowledge sharing is ad-hoc. Create a #kudos Slack channel. When someone posts there, n8n saves the praised person, reason, and date to a 'Recognition' database for easy reference during performance reviews.

Turn a form response into a dynamic email. A client selects 'Option A' on a form? They get an email detailing Option A. Selects 'Option B'? They get a completely different PDF guide and pricing sheet. Personalized at scale.

Automate charitable giving. Connect n8n to your bank or credit card. Round up every transaction to the nearest dollar and donate the spare change monthly to a rotating charity of your choice, with a full tax log.
