What Tasks Can Be Automated in a Small Business?

A practical list of the work most small teams can hand off this quarter.

Most small businesses have the same 8-10 repetitive jobs. Here's the shortlist worth automating first.

Lead capture and routing

Form submissions, DMs, missed calls — all funneled into one place, tagged, and assigned.

Follow-up sequences

Email, SMS, and even voicemail drops that fire based on real behaviour, not a calendar.

Reporting

Daily or weekly digests pulled from your tools and dropped into Slack or email.

Invoicing and reminders

Recurring invoices, polite chase-ups, and reconciliation against your bank feed.

The bottom line

Pick the one that eats the most time today, automate it cleanly, then move on. Don't try to automate everything in one go.
