10 Agency Automation Recipes

Every agency has a list of recurring tasks someone does by hand every morning: check the competitor's pricing page, paste yesterday's numbers into Slack, triage the overnight leads. This guide breaks ten of those tasks into step-by-step automation recipes — trigger, steps, delivery — that you can build in any workflow tool, including the agent workflows built into Orbits.

What's inside

  • 10 complete recipes: competitor page watcher, daily metrics digest, client news brief, lead enricher, content repurposer, and more
  • Each recipe broken into trigger → steps → delivery, with the exact AI prompts included
  • Which recipes pay back fastest (and which to skip until you have more clients)
  • When to use a schedule vs. a webhook trigger, in plain language
  • How to keep automated AI output client-safe: filters, conditions, and review gates

Frequently asked questions

Do I need Orbits to use these recipes?

No. Each recipe is described as a generic pipeline — trigger, steps, prompts, delivery — that you can build in Zapier, Make, n8n, or Orbits. The final section shows the one-click versions inside Orbits, since these ten recipes ship in the product.

Do the recipes require coding?

No. The most technical thing in the guide is a regex in one recipe, which is included verbatim so you can paste it. Everything else is URLs, prompts, and picking a schedule.
