Creating an Automation – Part 1 Always start with a challenge or a problem. What do you want to solve? What problem do I want to fix? Break-down the challenge in smaller steps What steps are there in the process of fixing the problem? A form app and a webinar app What apps do I need for these smaller steps? Check if your existing apps and tools can help you out What apps do I already use/have? Check if your existing apps and tools can be connected Can I connect my apps or do I need an automation tool?
