Your busywork,
handled.

Managed automation is a service where experts build, deploy, and maintain your business workflows for you. Instead of learning a tool like Zapier yourself, you describe what you want automated and a team handles everything from setup to ongoing maintenance. You get the results of automation without becoming an automation expert.

Workstead handles lead follow-up and email sequences, invoice and payment reminders, expense tracking and reporting, appointment confirmation and no-show reminders, customer support routing, and email-based data collection. If your process involves moving data between apps or sending triggered emails and notifications, there is likely a workflow for it in the Workstead catalog.

Most workflows go live within 1 to 3 business days. You describe what you need, connect your accounts (Gmail, Google Calendar, etc.) through simple authorization screens, and we handle the rest. More complex automations with custom logic or multiple integrations may take 3 to 5 days. There's no setup queue, no waiting for an agency's calendar to open up. You're running within the week.

No. Workstead is done-for-you automation. You never touch a drag-and-drop editor, never write code, never debug a broken connection. You describe what you need in plain English, and our team builds it. You connect your accounts (clicking 'Connect Gmail' or 'Connect Google Calendar'), and that's your involvement. If you can authorize an app on your phone, you can use Workstead.

We fix it, at no extra charge. Your workflows are monitored 24/7. If an API changes, an app updates, or an edge case emerges, we catch it and fix it before it costs you a deal. You never troubleshoot, never Google 'why did my workflow stop working,' never wait on hold with support. Maintenance is included in your subscription. That's what 'managed' means.

Probably yes. Workstead connects to Gmail, Outlook, Google Calendar, Google Sheets, QuickBooks, Slack, and hundreds of other business tools through secure OAuth authorization. If the app has an API, we can connect it. Not sure if your tool is supported? Tell us what you use during signup, and we'll confirm compatibility before we start building.

Zapier is a self-serve tool. You build your own automations using their drag-and-drop editor. When workflows break, you fix them. Workstead is done-for-you. We build, monitor, and maintain your workflows for you. You get the results without learning the tool. Think TurboTax (you do it yourself) vs. hiring an accountant (they do it for you). Both get your taxes filed. One requires you to learn software. The other lets you get back to work.

Workstead starts at $69 per month for up to 3 workflows (lead follow-up, appointment reminders, review requests, etc.). Growth is $149/month for up to 8 workflows. Pro is $299/month for unlimited workflows. All plans include setup, 24/7 monitoring, and ongoing maintenance. No hourly fees, no surprise invoices, no extra charges when something breaks. You can try it free for 14 days, no credit card required.

Changes are included. Want to adjust the email template your lead follow-up sends? Add a new step to your invoice workflow? Connect a different calendar? Just tell us what you need, and we'll update the workflow within 1-2 business days. No extra charges, no hourly billing. Your subscription covers all maintenance, updates, and changes. That's how managed automation works.
