Automate the busywork, keep the customers

Next Nova builds AI-powered automations for small businesses using n8n, Make and Zapier. We connect the apps you already use — forms, CRM, email, calendar, invoicing, Google Sheets — so leads get answered in minutes and admin runs itself. A single workflow starts at $690 and usually goes live in 1–2 weeks.

01  Sound familiar?

Is your week full of copy and paste?

If any of these sound familiar, an automation can take it off your plate. Here’s how.

01

“New leads wait hours for a reply.”

How we fix itA speed-to-lead workflow sends an instant text and email, adds the lead to your CRM and tells your team in Slack.

02

“Quotes take me an evening every week.”

How we fix itJob details go in, AI drafts the quote in your template, and you approve it with one click.

03

“I always forget to ask for reviews.”

How we fix itWhen a job is marked done, a review link goes out after 2 hours, with a reminder after 3 days.

04

“I chase unpaid invoices by hand.”

How we fix itOverdue invoices in QuickBooks, Xero or Stripe get polite reminders, then an escalation, without you writing a word.

02  What you get

The automations we build most

Each one is a single workflow with a fixed price. Most businesses start with one or two.

Speed-to-lead

New form or ad lead → instant SMS and email reply → added to CRM → team notified in Slack.

Quote and proposal drafting

Job details in → AI drafts the quote in your template → you approve with one click.

Review requests

Job marked done → review link after 2 hours → reminder after 3 days.

Invoice and payment chasing

QuickBooks, Xero or Stripe overdue → polite reminders → escalation.

Inbox triage

AI sorts and summarises incoming email and drafts replies to routine questions.

Content repurposing

One blog post or video → social posts, newsletter and Business Profile post drafts.

Weekly reporting

Numbers from ads, GA4, your CRM and Stripe, in one Google Sheet or Slack message.

Optional monitoring

Error alerts on every workflow, and fixes within one business day on a monitoring plan.

03  How we work

Three things we do differently

Automations go wrong when nobody maps the process, they’re tested on fake data, and only the builder knows how they work.

Map first

A written workflow and a fixed price before we build

We start with a 30-minute call to map your process step by step. You get a written workflow diagram and a fixed price, so you know exactly what will happen before we build anything.

A fixed price per workflow

Real data

Built and tested with your real data

We build in n8n, Make or Zapier and test every step with your real data, not a demo. Anywhere a mistake would cost you, like a quote or a refund, we add a human approval step.

Error alerts on every workflow

Handover

Accounts in your name, and a video to explain it

Every workflow runs in accounts you own. At handover you get a short video and written docs, so you, your team or any other developer can see how it works.

04  Price

A fixed price, agreed before we start

You pay per workflow, not per hour. We map the steps with you first, so the price covers exactly what gets automated.

05  How it works

From first call to a live workflow in 1–2 weeks

No surprises. You’ll know what the workflow does and what it costs before we build.

Day 1

Process mapping call

30 minutes to map how the work happens today.

Day 2–3

Diagram and fixed price

A written workflow diagram and a fixed price to approve.

Week 1–2

Build and test

Built and tested with your real data, with approvals where needed.

Launch

Handover

A handover video and docs, and the workflow switched on.

After

Optional monitoring

Error alerts, and fixes within one business day.

Your data stays yours. We keep data in your own accounts, use business API terms that don’t train on your data, and add a human approval step anywhere a mistake would cost you.

06  Selected work

Our public portfolio shows websites. These are three of them, built by the team that would build your automations. Tell us on the call what eats your week.

Ibrahim did a great job. He created a beautiful and simple website with all of the elements we asked for. Quick delivery and good communication. We will work with him again if needed in the future. Thank you!

Next Nova, a virtual assistant or doing it yourself?

Where we’re not the best fit

If the work needs judgement every time, like handling complaints, a virtual assistant is the better choice. And if you only need to connect two apps, Zapier on its own can be enough.

09  Is it right for you?

Who automation is for, and who it isn’t

Automation pays off when the same task happens again and again. Here’s how to tell.

A good fit if you…

Do the same task every day: replies, quotes, invoices or reports.

Lose leads because replies take hours.

Already use apps like a CRM, Google Sheets or QuickBooks.

Want a human check where mistakes would cost you.

Probably not a fit if you…

Have a task that needs judgement every time. A person suits it better.

Need an all-in-one CRM first. Start with GoHighLevel.

Want a chat assistant on your website. See AI chatbots.

Need custom software, like a portal. That’s a custom web app.

Ask on WhatsApp
What is n8n?

n8n is a workflow automation tool, like Zapier, that can be self-hosted. It handles complex logic and AI steps and costs much less at high volumes.

n8n, Make or Zapier — which should I use?

Zapier for simple, quick connections; Make for visual multi-step flows at lower cost; n8n for complex, AI-heavy or high-volume work, or when data must stay on your own server.

Is AI automation safe for customer data?

We keep data in your own accounts, use business API terms that don’t train on your data, and add a human approval step anywhere a mistake would cost you.

What if an automation breaks?

Every workflow has error alerts. On a monitoring plan we fix issues within one business day.

How much does an automation cost?

A single workflow starts at $690 and usually goes live in 1–2 weeks. Monitoring starts at $99 a month if you want it.

Do I need to change the apps I use?

Usually not. We connect the apps you already use, like your forms, CRM, email, calendar, invoicing and Google Sheets.
