S2. Ep13 - How to Get Started With Automations (A Beginner's Guide)

Episode notes

Where do you even start with automations? In this episode, Katie and Noel go right back to basics and walk through three specific automations that every service-based business owner can set up from scratch no coding, no tech skills, no experience needed. They cover booking management with AI-powered lead qualification, CRM automations that bypass expensive platform tiers, and a content scheduling setup that posts to multiple social media platforms from a simple Google Sheet. They also chat about the leaked Claude Mythos (version five), why Make.com, Zapier, and n8n are the three platforms worth looking at, Katie's Meet Edgar content bucket saga, and why Noel built his first ever automation on a dog holiday. Priorities.
