Operations · workflows we automate

Repetitive operations work,
automated.

Spion records the repetitive operations work done by hand — daily data syncs, board reporting, record reconciliation, weekly status round-ups — and turns each into a ready-to-run automation across Claude, Workato, Make, Zapier or n8n. Here are the ops workflows we automate most.

Input: this week's items from Jira, Asana, and Linear (closed, in-progress, blocked).

Build this workflow:
1. Pull items closed, in-progress, and blocked this week from all three tools.
2. Group by team and status, de-duplicating anything tracked in two tools.
3. Write a tight summary: what shipped, what's on track, what's at risk, and what's blocked and on whom.
4. Call out every blocked item older than five days as needing escalation (added by Spion).
5. Post to #weekly-status with a one-line headline per team above the detail.
Best exportClaude for the summary; n8n/Zapier to gather + post.

Questions

Most people we record have five or six rituals like the ones above.

Repetitive browser work: CRM and data entry, recurring reports, onboarding and offboarding, reconciliation, lead routing, and ticket triage. If you do it the same way in your browser more than once a week, Spion can usually record it.

No. You record the task once; Spion writes the automation for you to drop into Claude, Workato, Make, Zapier, or n8n — or gives you a step-by-step PDF guide instead.

Spion records whatever you do in the browser, so any web app works — Salesforce, HubSpot, Google Sheets, Slack, Jira, Zendesk, QuickBooks, NetSuite and the rest. The export targets your automation platform of choice.
