Make.com is the secret weapon behind many Perth businesses’ automation success. It connects the apps you already use — email, CRM, accounting, calendar, social media — into automated workflows that run without human intervention. Here’s how Perth businesses are using it in practice.
Lead management automation
A Perth landscaping company uses Make.com to connect their website form to GoHighLevel CRM, Google Sheets, and Slack. When someone submits a quote request: the lead is created in CRM with all form details, a row is added to the tracking spreadsheet, and the team gets a Slack notification. What used to require manual data entry across three platforms now happens instantly.
Invoice and payment automation
A Perth consulting firm connects Xero with their project management tool via Make.com. When a project milestone is marked complete, Make.com generates an invoice in Xero with the correct line items and sends it automatically. Payment reminders follow at 7 and 14 days overdue. The accounts team handles exceptions; the system handles routine billing.
Social media automation
A Perth cafe uses Make.com to automatically repost their Google reviews to Instagram and Facebook. Positive reviews (4-5 stars) get turned into branded social media posts and scheduled across platforms — creating fresh content without the cafe owner spending time on social media management.
Getting started
Make.com’s free plan gives you 1,000 operations per month — enough to test 3-5 workflows. Start by identifying one manual task you do daily that involves moving information between two apps. Build that workflow in Make.com, test it, and watch it run automatically. Most Perth business owners are surprised how quickly they find more processes to automate once they see the first one working.
