Multi-channel intake to structured records
Three intake routes feed one shared pipeline in n8n. A website form posting to a webhook, an internal form for requests that come in by phone or in a meeting, and a Gmail inbox using plus addressing. The main decision was writing the Airtable record before the AI runs instead of after. Status goes in as Received, then classification updates it. If OpenAI fails, you still have the request. Every route normalises into the same shape and converges on one merge node. Classification is one call with a strict JSON schema, so the category cannot come back as something Airtable rejects. A code node after it clamps confidence and pushes anything doubtful to Needs Review. Duplicates key on content, not the submission ID, because a page reload generates a new ID. Internal notes are allowed to duplicate on purpose. Better a repeat row than silently dropping something a person typed. Critical and High alert to Slack with a link straight to the record.

AI support-reply agent from a knowledge base
I built an AI-powered support reply agent to help a SaaS team handle repetitive customer questions while keeping a human in control. The workflow starts when a new support email arrives in Gmail. Using n8n, it extracts the customer's details and question, then sends the request to an OpenAI-powered AI Agent. The agent connects to a Pinecone vector database containing the company's approved AcmeFlow FAQ knowledge base, allowing it to retrieve relevant information before drafting a response. The workflow includes a confidence check. If the knowledge base supports the answer with high confidence, a reply is created as a Gmail draft for a human to review and send. It never auto-sends. If the AI cannot confidently answer from the knowledge base, the ticket is flagged for human review instead of guessing. Finally, Airtable logs each support ticket, including the customer, question, category, AI confidence, draft status, and ticket status. Tool stack: n8n, Gmail, OpenAI, Pinecone, and Airtable.

End-to-end sales lead workflow
I built a reliable lead intake workflow that removes manual handoffs while keeping the automation simple, maintainable, and fault-tolerant. The workflow begins by capturing every website submission through a webhook and immediately returning a success response so the user never experiences a slow form. Incoming data is then normalized and validated to filter out invalid or low-quality submissions before they reach the CRM. An AI model analyzes each valid lead, assigning a priority, urgency level, and concise summary to help the sales team identify high-value opportunities quickly. The qualified lead is upserted into HubSpot, followed by an automatic follow-up email and a Slack notification to the sales team. To prevent silent failures, critical nodes route errors to a centralized handler that posts an alert in Slack and logs the incident to Google Sheets for auditing. The workflow was built using n8n, Webhooks, Groq Llama 3.3, HubSpot, Gmail, Slack, and Google Sheets.

Two Workspace AI mini-workflows
Built two n8n automations for the ops team using Gmail, Sheets, Docs, and OpenAI: Workflow 1 — Auto-labeled client emails get summarized by AI and logged to a tracking sheet every 5 minutes, with the label flipped after processing so nothing repeats. Workflow 2 — New rows in the Client Reports sheet trigger an AI-drafted project update, filled into a copied doc template, with the link written back and Status marked "Done." Both flows report to a shared error handler that emails an alert on any failure. Both are self-protecting against duplicate work (label swap / Status check).

What builders say after shipping

StackedHQ has been helping me stay consistent in automation. Personally, I'm someone who doesn't like putting my face in public, but StackedHQ has helped massively with that. The most impressive part has been populating my portfolio — before StackedHQ I had just 2 projects, and in the 3 weeks since we launched, I've added 3 more.

If I could plot a graph of my growth since joining StackedHQ, it will show how far I have come. And it is not just my skills, my LinkedIn is in the ups too. This community was exactly what I wanted when I submitted my capstone project and thought, what next?

Stacked is the best thing that has happened to me in automation. I started learning AI automation without a community and no one to keep me accountable — that's changed within the span of three weeks. Presentation hasn't been my strongest point, but breaking down a workflow three times in three weeks is great progress.

I learnt a lot from the reviews I got and the workflows I reviewed. My ability to present my work through videos is on the rise. I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. StackedHQ has provided me a torch to guide my way forward.

When I finished my training with TS Academy, I lost interest in AI and automation. StackedHQ helped me build that interest back, and now I build workflows outside the weekly challenge. I had a portfolio going before and abandoned it — StackedHQ got me adding projects to it again.

After my capstone, I almost gave up on AI automation because it felt too difficult. But since joining, I've built three workflows, gained confidence from the feedback and support, and even made my first LinkedIn post. I haven't landed a client yet, but I've landed a student I'm currently tutoring on the basics of AI automation.

After my course I sat on projects for a month. I had other engagements and the ginger just was not coming. Since I joined Stacked, every week a project comes, and the people here push you to just do it and submit. I can automate things on my own now. I have not landed a client yet, but I know I will soon.

Who it’s for
Built for the post-course gap
You finished the course. You can build. But what, for who, and where do clients come from? That gap is exactly what Stacked closes.
0%
were stuck after finishing learning. They knew the tools, but weren’t earning yet.
0%
had nobody to ask when they got stuck.
You’re a fit if…
- You’ve finished (or are finishing) a course in n8n, Zapier or Make
- You can build basic workflows but don’t have a portfolio that proves it
- You want serious peers and real client work, not another silent Discord
Not for you if…
- You haven’t touched an automation tool yet (Stacked isn’t a tutorial)
- You won’t show up, and the whole model assumes weekly reps
The community
It all lives on WhatsApp
The website runs the challenges and the scoreboard. The day-to-day (the wins, the 11pm “why won’t this webhook fire”, the job leads) happens in the Stacked WhatsApp community.

Questions
Short and honest
Is this a course?+
No. Stacked is a community of builders shipping real challenges, not lessons. You should already know the basics of at least one tool.
What if I miss a week?+
Expired challenges still count for your portfolio, and the 4 most recent earn reduced stacks. You never fully lose a week.
Can I switch platforms?+
Yes. Change your primary platform once every 30 days from your profile.
What’s the refund policy?+
No refunds after access is granted, except a payment error within 24 hours. You’re paying for a room of builders, not a returnable product.
Do I need to know the tools already?+
Yes. Finish your n8n / Zapier / Make basics first. Stacked is where you go from “I can build” to “I’m earning.”
