Nathan Weill here.

I'm the CEO @ Flow Digital, where we help companies unleash their full potential by strategically automating every inch of their workflows. Each week, I share hot automation tips to help you move your business into the future successfully.

Tools to try (Today)

Timelines AI

Use WhatsApp for business comms? If your team is using multiple WhatsApp numbers, you know how much work goes into tracking it all.

Timelines AI effortlessly syncs all that communication into your CRM. You can view and manage all WhatsApp messaging in one place. And set up automated workflows in WhatsApp. And get real-time insights from the analytics the tool offers. And more.

And when we say effortless, we mean it. If your CRM is Pipedrive, HubSpot, Monday, or one of the other popular tools Timelines integrates with natively, all you have to do is scan their QR code and you’re all set up.

Take it for a test drive here — with their free 10-day trial, why not? — and let us know how it goes!

Slack
With Custom Emoji Creation from MakeEmoji

When you work in a team, especially a remote one, keeping things fun is vital.

MakeEmoji allows you to upload your own images. And spice them up with 28+ animations. So you can celebrate team members, employ inside jokes, and brighten up your workspace culture with friendlier, more happening vibes.

Some ways we use MakeEmoji at Flow Digital (yeah, we’re serious about fun here):

  • Each time we get a new client, a custom automation chooses a different fun emoji and includes it in the Slack announcement.

  • When a new review compliments a specific team member, we tag them in Slack along with the review. Then, team members get to react with that team member’s “cool” emoji. No more boring “raised-hands” or “ta-da!” for us!

Think this sounds like a silly way to spend your time? Try some new emojis in your workspace and see how your team reacts!
