Automatically write website form submissions to a spreadsheet and email the right person. The most common first automation.
Estimated time: About half a day (for a first-timer, an estimate)
Trigger (form submitted), action (add a row), result (email): three boxes.
Connect the form tool, the spreadsheet and the email account to the automation tool.
Submit a few forms under your own name; look for empty fields and special-character (e.g. Turkish letter) problems.
Have it notify you when the flow stops; an automation that fails silently is the most expensive kind.
Every step in Make uses credits; more steps mean higher cost. n8n and Activepieces are free when self-hosted, but updates and security are on you. In a flow carrying personal data, add every service the data passes through to your privacy notice.
