Automated Outreach Workflow

Designed a workflow to automate business communications and remove repetitive manual work.

Problem

The operations team was spending many hours a week manually drafting, sending, and logging outbound business communications.

What I built

An end-to-end workflow connecting CRM triggers to AI-drafted messages with a lightweight human approval step before anything was sent.

My contribution

Mapped the existing manual process, designed the automated replacement, and built it end to end across the CRM, email, and logging layer.

Process

  1. Audited the manual process

    Logged every manual step across a two-week period to find the real bottlenecks.

  2. Designed the automation graph

    Mapped triggers, drafting logic, and a human checkpoint before anything external went out.

  3. Built and connected the stack

    Wired CRM events to AI drafting and a lightweight approval and logging layer.

  4. Measured and refined

    Tracked time saved weekly and tightened the approval step based on edge cases.

Outcome

Reduced manual outreach admin by roughly 11 hours a week across the team.
