Zapier automation service

Automation Sprint

A focused, no-faff way to turn your most passive-aggressive to-do list item into a fully automated workflow.

You’ve got an automation that needs building.

It’s not massive. But it’s not nothing either. It’s that awkward, manual process you’ve been meaning to fix for months – the one that would save you an embarrassing amount of time if someone would just build the damn thing.

That someone is me, and an Automation Sprint is how we make it happen.

Together we’ll find your most tedious, soul-destroying process and I’ll figure out how to automate it. Whether it’s banishing manual data entry for good, building contracts and invoices that send themselves, or getting your web forms to talk to your CRM – if it’s costing you time, it’s fair game.

You get a bunch of hours back every week. I get that weird little dopamine hit from making the automation robots do something amazing. Everybody wins.

Get started

The Automation Sprint is a great fit if:

  • You're spending more time on admin and repetitive tasks than you are on the work you actually started your business to do.

  • You’ve got a rough idea for an automation and need someone with the vision / technical chops to make it a reality.

  • You're confident automation could transform how your business runs, but want to see results before you go all in.

How an Automation Sprint works

Because the last thing you need is a complicated process for sorting out your complicated processes

STEP 1:

Fill out the form below and tell me about your project. I'll come back to you quickly with an honest answer as to whether a Sprint is the right fit – and if it is, a contract and payment link to lock in your slot and get the ball rolling.

STEP 2:

I'll send a short prep checklist so nothing gets forgotten – logins, app access, the usual. We'll also have a 30-minute kickoff call to align on scope, review the workflow plan, and make sure build day can run without interruption.

STEP 3:

Build day. This is the part where I hit shuffle on a sweet synthwave playlist, ignore my inbox, and spend a focused day building, testing, and optimising your automation. When it's done, I'll walk you through everything via a screen recording and handover email.

Pricing

Wondering what this is going to cost you?

Enough to get it done properly. Not so much that you’ll need to start reusing your Nespresso pods.

One-day sprint

£990

A focused, no-faff way to turn your most passive-aggressive to-do list item into a fully automated workflow.

Get started

Here's what you get:

  • A 30-minute consulting call – We nail the brief, review the apps involved, and make sure we're solving the right problem.

  • A workflow wireframe – So we all know what we're building before we find out the hard way that we actually didn’t.

  • Up to six hours of build time – Head down, do not disturb, actually building, testing and optimising your automation.

  • Documentation – A guided video tour of your finished workflow, narrated by yours truly and available forever.

  • Further recommendations – Notes regarding anything I spotted while I was building. Take them or leave them, but I'd probably take them.

Need more time? Additional days are £750 each, up to a maximum of three consecutive days per sprint.

Automation FAQ's

The bit where I clean up the mess I've made trying to sound effortless

  • What kind of projects is an Automation Sprint good for?

    A Sprint works best for contained, well-defined projects – the kind where there's a clear problem, a small number of tools involved, and a realistic chance of being finished in a day or two. Things like auto-generating contracts or invoices, wiring up your CRM to your accounting software, or finally getting that customer onboarding form to behave itself.

  • What do I need to prepare before the Sprint?

    Not much. Once you're booked in, I'll send you a short prep checklist covering everything I need – mostly login details and app access. Beyond that, just come to the kickoff call with a rough idea of what you want to achieve and I'll take it from there.

  • Do I need to be available on build day?

    The kickoff call exists precisely so that build day can run without me needing to chase you for passwords, access, or decisions. We sort all of that in advance, so when build day arrives, you can get on with your life and I can get on with building your automation/s.

  • What if my project turns out to be bigger than a day?

    If your project is going to take longer than a day, we'll figure that out well in advance. Additional build days are available at a discounted rate, up to a maximum of three consecutive days per sprint.

  • What are your payment terms?

    Sprints are paid in full upfront – it keeps things clean, simple, and means we can both focus on the work rather than the admin. I'll send a contract and payment details once we've confirmed your project is a good fit.

  • Can I just build this myself?

    You could. And perhaps you will. But if you're on this page, there's a decent chance you've already tried (or at least thought about trying) and concluded that your time is better spent elsewhere. That's a reasonable conclusion. It's also why this service exists.

  • Build a business that supports your life instead of consuming it.

Testimonials

A few of my biggest fans

Chris is a fucking genius when it comes to automations, integrations, and the like. I don't like how his mind works — it intimidates me and I think, once Skynet becomes self-aware, they'll probably keep him on as a liaison.
Lorrie Forrester
I had the pleasure of working with Chris recently, and I can’t recommend him enough! He assisted me with some emergency forms and provided invaluable support with Zapier. Chris was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also kind and patient throughout the process. His quick responses and effective solutions made a stressful situation so much easier to handle. If you need support, Chris is the person to go to!
Kirsty Hulse
Working with Chris has genuinely been a massive milestone in the life of my business. It’s given me my work-life balance back, and freed up the time I used to spend on business admin for more time with my family, and more creative thinking.

Book your automation sprint

Think of it as a spa day for your to-do list

An Automation Sprint is a focused, one-off engagement designed to turn your most cumbersome operational bottleneck into a hands-off, automated workflow.

You get a professionally designed, custom built automation – delivered without drama and for considerably less than another few months of doing it manually will cost you.

Fill out the form, tell me what you need, and I’ll tell you honestly whether a Sprint is the right call. If it is, brilliant. If it isn’t, I’ll tell you that too.

★★★★★

Chris has been an absolute star helping me with all things automation for 5 years now. His recommendations have cut my admin time in half, and he's introduced me to tools I didn't know existed (and now can't live without). I can focus on actual work while the admin and organisation takes care of itself. 1000% recommend.
