Automating Coaching Program Backends So Operators Can Focus on People | Make.com | Google Workspace

About

The best coaching programs don't run on hard work alone. They run on smart systems. But most program operators are still doing manually what a system can do for them. Sending welcome emails one by one, chasing testimonials, managing registrations by hand. That's where I come in. I build no-code automation systems for coaches and program operators using Make.com and Google Workspace. Clean, working pipelines that handle your repetitive backend — from onboarding new members to keeping your community engaged throughout the program — so you can focus entirely on your people. What I've built: → Student onboarding automation for Purposeful Coaching Academy → Event RSVP and community engagement pipeline (AutoRSVP) → WhatsApp-based order and lead capture system (Campus Pantry) Affordable. Built for small teams on lean budgets. Ready to automate your program backend? Let's talk.
