[Coda Magic Daily] Which automation tool is the best for Coda?


"Unveiling the Wonders of Coda, One Day at a Time"

FRIDAY, SEP. 13, 2024


Happy Friday!

I'm a what you call "opposite of a handyman." If it's broken, it will be more broken when I try to fix it.

However, I have an awesome portable carry toolkit I bought years ago that I automatically pull out of the closet anytime my wife wants me to try to fix something.

I have one rule with the toolkit: if you get it out and use a tool, you MUST put it back and then put it back in the closet.

There is one empty slot for a screwdriver that annoys me every time I open it.

Every time I have a job, I look at what I need to fix and try to figure out which wrench/screwdriver/socket is the right tool for the job.

Here's what I often find . . .

More than one tool will solve the problem. Don't waste a lot of time trying to figure out the PERFECT tool. Just grab one and try it. If it works, move on.

When it comes to automation tools like n8n, Zapier, Make, Coda automation . . . each of them has different benefits and integrations.

So, which is the best?

I don't have an answer because I use ALL automation tools.

My preference is n8n because there is zero usage limit, but they don't support some integrations, so then I moved to Make.com. I have a hefty pre-paid plan with Make, so cost again is my determining factor.

But you may like Zapier . . . their AI automation builder is pretty sweet.

So which automation tool is the best?

Let me ask you. Which tool is better--a wrench or a screwdriver? It's an invalid question.

It depends on the job. And everyone has a different job.

  • Start trial accounts with Zapier, Make, and n8n.
  • Pick a simple automation and try it across all of them.
  • Maybe build a preference for one of them, but always be open to others.

These are tools in a toolbox. You're not required to pick just one.

Sunday is the last day to sign up for 30 Days to Formula Pack Mastery. I am closing enrollment until the next class, which I'm honestly not sure when that will be.

There are no weekend lessons, so if you sign up today, you can easily get caught up on the first four days. After that, it's going to be very challenging.

It's still 30% off for a VERY limited time with LIFETIME UPDATES! After the course is over, it's going up to at least $497!

See you on Monday!
