Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Automate.io is being used by my online retail business (hosted by Shopify) to:

Automate data entry from New Orders (received in Shopify) to a Google Sheets spreadsheet.
Update orders and calculate net profits.

I plan on expanding this use but for now this actually saves me some hours of work per day!

Pros and Cons

Incredible support and guidance from staff.
Very intuitive to use (I migrated from Zapier and was able to rebuild all my automation flows from scratch quite quickly).
Great price.

Return on Investment

Saves me 1-3 hours of work every single day.
Automating data entry has allowed me to keep a great visual record of numbers and customers in Google Sheets instead of relying on checking individual orders on Shopify or individual emails, etc.

Alternatives Considered

IFTTT and Zapier

Better price, better support, better UI.

Jay from Automate.io has been very helpful in fixing a problem (my fault - I forgot to read the guide), but he did so in a way that he clearly understood my automation objectives and could provide relevant and handy guidance.

Likelihood to Recommend

Migrated across from Zapier to Automate.io because the fees were far more attractive to me. Since joining, I've realised that Zapier was possibly less effective for my business anyway. Automate.io has been incredible!

Very pleased with automate.io!
