Automation vs Over-Automation
Hi builders 👋 Something I’ve been thinking about while exploring automation workflows. When people first discover automation tools, the instinct is usually: “Let’s automate everything.” But after seeing a few real systems, I’m starting to notice something interesting. The automations that create the biggest impact are often not the most complex ones. Sometimes it’s just a simple workflow that removes one annoying task that repeats every day. Things like: • capturing leads automatically • routing data between tools • sending instant follow-ups • organizing files in the background Nothing fancy. But these small systems quietly save hours of manual work over time. Curious about the builders in this community 🤔 Have you ever caught yourself over-automating something that could have stayed simple?
