Today we’re diving into the exciting world of automation with a powerful tool called Make.com. As tech enthusiasts, we just can’t wait to share how this visual platform has revolutionized our operations at Geeky Girl and why it might be the game-changer your business needs. Stick with us and learn how you too can take your business to the next level.

Introduction to Make.com: The Bridge Between Software Pieces

Let’s kick off our journey by answering an important question: What is Make.com? To put it in simple terms we like to think of it as a digital bridge between two (or more) software applications. Make.com facilitates seamless communication, a crucial element in today’s interconnected business landscape. In our world, here at Geeky Girl, Make.com is a vital tool in our arsenal. To illustrate this, let’s walk through a practical example involving two or our most used platforms, ClickUp and QuickBooks.

I’m not kidding when I say 98% of our work here at Geeky Girl happens inside of ClickUp. Everything comes from and returns to ClickUp one way or another, it acts as our central (we like to call it the boss). Quickbooks, on the other hand, is our financial handling buddy. Because let’s be honest nobody wants to deal with messy accounting at the end of the year so it’s much better to keep things tidy as we go.

Make.com proves to be an invaluable companion in creating a cohesive workflow between ClickUp and QuickBooks. Picture this: a client pays an invoice through Stripe, and Make.com seamlessly transfers this payment information to QuickBooks while simultaneously creating a task in ClickUp. This interconnectedness ensures that our project management system is updated in real-time, reflecting the latest financial transactions.

Eliminating Human Error with Automation

One of the standout advantages of embracing automation through Make.com is the elimination of human error. As business processes become increasingly complex, the risk of typos, oversights, and data entry mistakes multiplies. By leveraging Make.com to automate routine tasks, we mitigate these risks and enhance the accuracy and efficiency of our operations.

Consider the scenario where a human error, such as a misspelled email address, can lead to communication breakdowns. With Make.com, such errors become relics of the past. The platform’s ability to copy and paste information directly reduces the likelihood of data entry mishaps, ensuring that crucial details are accurately transferred between applications. This not only saves time but also fortifies the reliability of our data-driven processes.

Many processes in our business require human brains and cannot be automated. By handing all the boring and tiring copy-and-paste jobs over to AI’s hands you can free up mental space for you and your team to focus on the things only you can do. This helps to build strong and reliable results that your clients will surely appreciate.  

The Visual Power of Make.com: Understanding the Flow

Now, let me tell you about the visual magic of Make.com, a feature that resonates particularly well with neurodiverse brains and those who appreciate intuitive representation. The thing is Make doesn’t expect you to be any coding expert nor does it require lots of reading through endless lines of disorienting codes. Each step in the automation process, we call them modules, is visually represented with distinctive colours and logos corresponding to the involved software applications.

The visual representation extends beyond aesthetics; it serves as a tangible guide to understanding the flow of data through the entire scenario. Picture a series of interconnected circles, each bearing the logo and colour scheme of the respective software. ClickUp, QuickBooks, and other modules are seamlessly linked by visible lines, forming a comprehensible flowchart that reflects the sequential order of data transfer.

Greater yet is that it comes with a flow explanation button. you can simply press the little airplane and little balls will ping through the scenario showing you which way your data will flow. There is also an auto-aligning button that can reshape your flowchart into the best shape so everything looks perfectly symmetric and easy to follow.
