It can also help you improve your customer service, increase sales and leads, and make your business more efficient.

In this blog post, we will discuss the basics of workflow automation, and last but not least, we will discuss five workflow automation examples that will help you achieve these goals!

What is Workflow Automation?

Workflow automation refers to the process of automating certain tasks in order to improve workflow efficiency. By creating workflows that automate tasks, you can save time and energy, which can be put towards more important tasks.

Automated workflows can improve productivity in a number of ways. For example, it can help you to:

• Reduce the amount of time spent on tasks that can be automated processes.
• Reduce the number of errors made in tasks that are prone to human error.
• Improve communication and collaboration between team members.
• Streamline business processes so that they are more efficient, promoting task management.

How to get started with workflow automation

Workflow automation can seem daunting, but it’s really not that difficult to get started. The first step to start using workflow automation is to identify the tasks that you want to automate.

Once you have a clear idea of what you want to automate, you can start looking for tools that will help you do it. There are a number of different workflow automation tools available, so it’s important to find one that fits your needs.

Once you’ve found a workflow automation tool or workflow automation software that you’re comfortable with, the next step is to start setting up your workflow. This will involve creating tasks and specifying the conditions under which they should be triggered.

Once your workflow tasks are set up, you can sit back and relax, knowing that your tasks will be taken care of automatically. The key to successful workflow management is to begin slowly. Make a few basic elements and gradually advance to more complex ones.

5 Awesome workflow automation examples to increase productivity, sales and leads

1. Automating your email marketing workflow: You can use workflow automation to send automatic emails to your subscribers when they sign up for your list or when they take a specific action. For example, you can set up an automated workflow that sends a welcome email to new subscribers and then follow-up emails after they’ve made a purchase.

Then, you can automate the rest of the customer support process, including sending follow-up emails and scheduling phone calls.
4. Automating your social media workflow: You can use workflow automation to help you manage your social media accounts. For example, you can set up an automated workflow that posts new content to your social media accounts or that sends messages to your followers when they take a specific action.

I use my password for Facebook, Email, and my Bank account. One thing you should know about me is that, I have an online syndrome called “I care less about myself”. PASSWORD, PASSWORD how I love thee… you’re my online protector, but you are so hard to remember when I need you the most, so I created you to be simple, but you betray me to online hackers.

So enough with the Romeo and Juliet, on a more serious note, your password just like keys to your house should not be left in the door or handed to a stranger.

Online communication requires access walls, these access walls called password are keys to your personal private data. We make online purchases, access sensitive data and share information with friends online every day, it is our moral responsibility to protect not only ourselves but all other’s associated with our online accounts. I put together a basic guide to help you stay protected without all the frustration that comes with hackers.

What not to do

• Do not use your name, child name, pets as your password
• Do not use less than 8 characters for your password
• Avoid using words that can be spelled out (eg. wife, school, love and password)
• Avoid words that describe the website you are using (eg. Don’t use Amazon in your password when create an account on amazon.com)

What to do

• A password must contain a Capitalize letter, number, keyboard symbol and must be 8 characters long
• Get into the habit of changing your password frequently
• Do not use the exact some password for every account you sign up

Is apple losing its touch? The new iPhone (iOS 7) 5s and 5c are in! One can’t seem to wonder if apple is being influenced by it’s rivals, Android and windows.  What is happening to the innovators of user experience, do I get the feeling intense competition is getting the best of Apple?

MG SIEGLER points out more insite on techcrunch.com

Revolutionary?  Evolutionary?  Apple has become a machine at releasing new products within their iOS line ever since the original iPhone was introduced on June 29, 2007.   Producing products on a regular basis with a subset of upgraded features and software tweaks have been disregarded as evolutionary.  The retina screen was one feature I could personally argue had the biggest impact.  With the subsequent new release of the iPhone 5s, iPad Air and iPad mini let’s focus on the one thing that is future proof and makes a difference.   Apple has the first 64 bit processor in a smart phone.

64 bit processing and what it means

Apple’s new A7 chip was lauded as the first phone to have a 64-bit processor.   The redesigned iOS7 has been recoded to have its core suite of apps 64-bit compatible.  So?   You are used to smart phones and computers doubling their speed every 18 months and using terms such as dual-core and quad core in their processing endeavors.

64-bit means two important things

1.  An ability to add more than 4 GB of RAM to a mobile device

2.  An ability to calculate numbers much more efficiently, making tasks like encoding and decoding video, 3-dimensional modeling and switching between applications with ease.

How much of a jump-start did Apple get?

Samsung, Qualcomm, Intel and all of the rest of the big players in the mobile industry have stated that their new architecture will be 64-bit.   Analysts give Apple about 9 to twelve months before Android devices catch up.  Samsung has explicitly stated that their next version of devices will have 64 bit processors.

Read between the lines – Always –

Desktop OS’s have been steadily moving toward 64 bit processing.  Even Windows XP, the stalwart component of most business enterprise environments had a 64 bit version.  Released in 2005 (8 years ago), it satiated the need for more RAM and speed.  The computer you are using today that has been produced in the last 5 years probably has a 64 bit OS and processor.  If it has more than 4GB of RAM, I can guarantee that.  As for the Apple faithful, if your OS version is running OS X Snow Leopard (2009) or later you are running on 64 bit architecture.

Apple is staying ahead of the curve to make one thing clear:  iOS devices are going to be competitive as productivity devices, blurring the line between entertainment tablets and business tools.  If there is an app that runs on your desktop, be prepared to have a port that runs on your iPad.    Will they replace high-end desktops used for video / graphic editing, accounting programs, etc.?  No.   Will they be a sufficient replacement for laptops and out of town meetings?  Absolutely.  To see this market strategy already in place look no further than what Microsoft is doing with their Surface Pro product line.

Developers Wanted!

Hi Apple.  We have worked within your iOS ecosystem for years.  Your policies and market structure are far from perfect.  On the other hand your brand and quality in hardware and software is unmatched. Xcode, the development software we use will become 64 bit as the default even though 32 bit will be supported for years to come.  We see your vision and are committed to this opportunity.   Authentic Imaging will begin coding 64 bit applications for iOS devices in the upcoming months.  Stay tuned.

So you go to buy a new phone, two days later there is a new phone release with additional features that makes the one you just bought outdated. Good luck exchanging it for a new one, it simply won’t happen. Addiction to new technology is the new norm for manufacturers and developers that feed on competition. Every new thing brought to the market has a new feature already in the production line. Consumers are very receptive to change and are always on the lookout for new technology.

What type of consumer are you?

Are you the one that holds off buying the next big thing? Or are you the one that can’t wait to sink your teeth in the next big thing? If you look on what is on the menu, technology only offers you two choices, slower adapters and fast adapters. Which one of them saves more money in the long run? This is out for debate.

When is it the right time to upgrade technology?

If you can prove an upgrade will save you time or money then you are due for an upgrade.

• Examples of a phone:

i.      Sharing files
ii.      Taking photos
iii.      Navigation
iv.      Battery life
v.      Phone process speed
