Which flows are worth automating first?
Not every recurring flow earns automation. Rate the common ones by how often they happen and how much they hurt, and see the shortlist worth starting with.

Ranked by frequency multiplied by pain. Adjust the inputs and the order updates.
How the ranking works
The order comes only from your inputs
Each flow gets a score of frequency multiplied by pain, both set by you on a one to three scale, so the range is one to nine. We sort the flows from highest score to lowest and put the top three forward as the place to start. There are no industry averages or hidden weights in the mix. Change a rating and the order moves with it.
Questions about the ranking
How is the order decided?
By a single number per flow: the frequency you pick multiplied by the pain you pick. A daily, high-pain flow scores a nine and rises to the top, a rare, low-pain one scores a one and sinks. The ranking reflects your ratings and nothing else.
Why frequency and pain rather than time saved?
Time saved is hard to estimate before you build anything. Frequency and pain are easy to feel honestly and together they point at the flows where automation pays off soonest. Treat the shortlist as a starting point, not a final business case.
How would this+that automate these flows?
this+that Workflows run across your messaging channels with 32 action types, IF/ELSE branches, loops, and scheduled triggers. A triage flow routes each message to the right owner, a follow-up flow sends reminders until the loop closes, and a handoff flow passes the work along with the context the Brain already holds.
