The best automations do not remove people from the loop. They remove friction so your team can spend attention where it actually matters.
When someone says automate this, they often mean remove the human. That is usually the wrong frame. The workflows that last keep a person at the decision point and let software handle the repetitive path to get there.
We design Flow work around handoffs: what triggers the automation, what gets logged, who gets notified when something breaks. Clear ownership beats clever scripts every time.
Amplification means your team ships more of the work only they can do — not fewer people on the payroll. That distinction is worth stating out loud before anyone writes a line of integration code.
