What problem were you trying to solve with your automation?

E-Commerce and R&D automation process:

  • Inquiry intake
  • Work management
  • Customer ongoing communication
  • Shipping & delivery
  • Customer satisfaction
  • Dashboards

Why did the problem exist?

No integrated, nor automated workflows.

We had to set up Typeform for customers’ inquiries, ClickUp as Project Management Software, and Dashboards to follow key metrics.

How did you solve the problem? What does your solution look like?

The solution contains 12 Make automation scenarios

  1. Typeform request turned into ClickUp tasks with proper notifications (email and ClickUp).
  2. ClickUp task triggers a contract creation sent and to be signed through Dropbox Sign.
  3. Contract signature notification through Email and Mobile.
  4. Inheritance of a tracking card number to follow later on the shipment.
  5. Feedback form addressed to the customer for quality control.
  6. Automated progress of the product once all ClickUp subtasks are completed.
  7. Shipping process.
  8. Delivery and reception communication & checking.
  9. Project closing.
  10. Product archiving in the Drive.
  11. Follow up a month later.
