automation-workflows

What This Skill Does

The automation-workflows skill is designed to help solopreneurs reclaim their time by automating repetitive, rule-based business processes. Instead of manually moving data between apps or performing recurring administrative tasks, this skill acts as your architecture partner. It helps you conduct an audit of your current workflows, calculate the time cost of manual labor, select the appropriate no-code tool (Zapier, Make, or n8n), and map out the logic required for seamless execution. By automating these tasks, you scale your operation without the need for additional headcount.

Installation

To begin building your automated infrastructure, execute the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/getmolty/automation-workflows

Use Cases

• Client Onboarding: Automatically create project folders in Google Drive, send welcome emails, and add clients to your CRM once a contract is signed.
• Lead Management: Instantly sync leads from your website contact form to your mailing list and create a task in your project management tool.
• Administrative Efficiency: Generate invoices automatically upon payment notification via Stripe or PayPal and log the transaction in your accounting spreadsheet.
• Content Distribution: Repurpose your blog content by automatically drafting social media posts and scheduling them across platforms.

Example Prompts

1. "I spend 30 minutes every morning manually logging sales from Stripe into a Google Sheet. Can we design a workflow to automate this?"
2. "I'm a solopreneur and feel overwhelmed by my email management. Help me identify which repetitive email tasks I should automate and suggest a tool for a beginner."
3. "Create a step-by-step logic map for a workflow that notifies me on Slack whenever a new lead fills out my Typeform."

Tips & Limitations

• Start Small: Do not attempt to automate a complex process immediately. Begin with a single-trigger, single-action workflow to gain confidence.
• Audit First: Always spend the hour performing an automation audit to ensure you aren't automating a process that is already broken or unnecessary.
• Limitations: This skill focuses on logic and tool selection. It does not perform the API connection or execution for you, but provides the blueprints needed to set them up. Avoid automating high-touch tasks that require human empathy or complex creative judgment, as these often backfire when handled by basic automation logic.
