Small automations & cloud workflows

Light, targeted automations on AWS or similar tools to cut out the boring repetitive stuff and keep your team in sync.

Examples

What these projects look like

  • Send a summary email every week with key numbers
  • Sync a simple Google Sheet into another system
  • Auto-notify people when forms are submitted
  • Tag and route SMS replies into the right list
  • Generate simple reports from logs or exports
Approach

One workflow at a time

Instead of trying to “automate everything,” we pick one painful thing and solve that with a small, reliable workflow.

  • Map the current process (who does what, when)
  • Design a simpler version with cloud tools
  • Build, test, and document the new flow
  • Adjust after you’ve used it in the real world

Pricing for automation work

These are scoped per workflow so you’re never guessing. Most small builds land in this range:

⚙️
Tier 1
Basic workflow
$750–$1,500 per workflow
$75–$150/mo monitoring & care

For simple, well-defined automations that replace a small but annoying manual task.

  • One clear trigger → action workflow
  • Email or SMS notification, or a small data sync
  • Basic monitoring & logging
  • Documentation and handoff
🏭
Tier 3
Advanced automation suite
$3,000–$4,000 per workflow
$250–$350/mo priority monitoring & tuning

For organizations that want deep automation and are ready to treat it as core infrastructure.

  • More complex, multi-system integrations
  • Custom dashboards or reporting layers
  • Scalable AWS-based infrastructure
  • Extra testing and refinement period
Not sure?

Which automation tier fits?

Quick way to decide without overthinking it:

  • Tier 1 if it’s one small task you’re doing manually every week.
  • Tier 2 if multiple people or tools depend on it and mistakes are painful.
  • Tier 3 if this workflow is mission-critical and needs deeper structure.
Why it matters

Manual vs automated workflows

Approach What it feels like Where it works Where it breaks
Manual work Relies on someone remembering every time. Fine for very small teams and rare tasks. Easy to forget, inconsistent, and hard to track.
Spreadsheets & reminders A bit more organized, but still manual. Good for tracking data or checklists. Doesn’t actually do anything on its own.
Proper automation Runs on its own, the same way every time. Best for recurring tasks, notifications, and data syncing. Needs a solid setup up front—but that’s what this service is for.

Automations don’t replace people—they remove the boring parts so your team can focus on work that actually needs judgement.
