The prompt · ChatGPT

Help me find the admin jobs worth automating.

Repetitive jobs: [for each: what you do, how often, minutes each time]
Apps I use: [e.g. Gmail, Google Sheets, Google Forms, Calendly, invoicing app]
How techy I am: [not at all, a bit, happy to try]

First ask me up to 4 short questions. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. My jobs ranked by hours saved a month.
2. Which to automate, which to template, which to drop.
3. For the top three: the trigger, the action, and short, general set-up steps for a two-step automation.
4. Which ones fit Zapier's free plan (two-step, 100 tasks a month) and which need more steps, like Make.
5. How to test each one, and what to check weekly.

Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts or figures. UK English.

Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.

A short example

Fill the blanks, then paste. for each: what you do, how often, minutes each time: a short note you already have. e.g. Gmail, Google Sheets, Google Forms, Calendly, invoicing app: a short note you already have. Leave the rest of the prompt as written.
