How do I know if a task can be automated?

Three questions:

  1. Does it repeat? Several times a day or a week means yes.
  2. Does it have rules? If you could explain it to a new hire on one sheet of paper, an automation can do it.
  3. Does a mistake cost money? If an error is expensive (a mis-booked invoice, a lost appointment), the automation needs a human check at the critical step, not the human removed.

Yes, yes and "the error can be checked" means it goes first.

What not to automate

  • What happens rarely. An automation for a monthly task takes years to pay for itself.
  • What has no rule. Negotiating, deciding a discount, judging a complaint: human judgement.
  • What has no data. If the information lives in the owner's head, write it down first.
  • Everything at once. One automation running and used is worth more than five half-done.

n8n, Make or Zapier?

We do not mind which: the tool is chosen to fit your volume and budget, and we explain it in our n8n vs Make vs Zapier comparison. What matters is that the process is properly defined before anything is built.

How we do it at Zerolagia

Every automation in the catalogue can be seen working on video before you sign up. It is set up with your real data, tested with you and handed over with access for your team. No contract term: if it stops being useful, you stop it.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to change software?

Usually not: we connect to what you already use (CRM, shop, spreadsheet, WhatsApp).

How long does setup take?

Depends on the automation and how tidy your data is; the deadline is fixed in the proposal.

What if I already have something built that fails?

We look at it in the diagnosis and tell you whether to fix it or rebuild it.
