Led by Executive Director, Steph Burr, this workshop aimed to teach organization members and leaders how to map their workflow in a visual way that helps them identify pain points in their workload, and learn to how automations can help alleviate these problem areas.

Through an interactive activity, attendees learned tricks to mapping their own workflow and how to identify these problem areas. Participants were given the option to follow along with the example provided, a donation acception workflow, or to attempt to map their organizations donation acception workflow.

Steph shares tips and advice on setting up automations, the different simplistic automations that participants can try in their own organization, and highlights some of the systems that can be used to set up different automations.

At the end of the workshop, participants felt confident in their abilities to map their own organizations workflow and started generating ideas on the small steps they can take into the automation world.
