Automation for solopreneurs

Running a business solo means every minute counts. AutomationsRecipe helps you turn repetitive tasks into clear, step-by-step automation recipes you can build in tools like Make.com, n8n, or Zapier — without hiring a developer.

What you'll get from each recipe

Every recipe is a complete, copy-friendly blueprint you can hand to yourself, your team, or a freelancer.

  • Visual workflow map
    Triggers, actions, AI steps, and decisions laid out as a clear diagram.
  • Step-by-step setup guide
    Plain-language instructions for Make.com, n8n, or Zapier.
  • Copy-ready AI prompts
    Tuned prompts you can paste straight into the AI step.
  • Tools & connections list
    Exactly which apps, accounts, and triggers you need to wire up.
  • Testing checklist
    Pre-launch checks so the workflow doesn't break in production.
  • Exportable PDF
    Save it as documentation or hand it to a client or teammate.

Why this matters

Most solo founders lose hours every week to admin, follow-ups, and copy-paste work. A handful of well-designed automations can give you back a full day each week — and protect the deals you're already earning.
