Every startup spends hours a week on work that could be automated. Standup summaries, invoice follow-ups, lead routing, inbox triage — all of it is recurring, rules-based, and perfect for blockd. Here are the ten automations we set up for every new account.
Each one takes under two minutes to describe in plain English. Together they probably save your team 5–10 hours a week.
You don't need to set them all up on day one. Start with the two or three that hit your biggest time sinks.
The 10 automations worth setting up:
blockd
Daily Slack standup digest
GitHub PR notifications to the right person
Inbox → Linear ticket triage
Stripe failed payment follow-up
Customer signup → HubSpot + Slack alert
Weekly metrics report from your database
Calendly → meeting prep in Notion
Competitor launch watcher
Churned customer win-back email
Describe each one into blockd. No configuration, no API docs, no drag-and-drop — just type it, connect the apps with OAuth, and it runs.
