5 automations you can build today, right after reading this

No theory in this one. Pick one, build it in the next hour, and reply with what you shipped.
1. Auto-save Gmail attachments to Google Drive.
Trigger on new email matching a label, drop any attachment into a folder. The first automation most people ever build, and still genuinely useful.
2. Post to Slack or Discord on a new Google Form response.
Great for a waitlist, a feedback form, or a simple lead capture. Trigger, format the fields, send.
3. Auto-post new blog or YouTube uploads to Twitter or LinkedIn.
Watch an RSS feed, pull the title and link, post it. This alone is a service some creators would pay for.
4. A daily scheduled message to yourself.
Weather, a to-do reminder, a motivational quote, whatever. The point is not the content, it is getting comfortable with `Schedule Trigger` and sending a message out from it.
5. Auto-backup a Google Sheet to CSV on a schedule.
Small, boring, and exactly the kind of unglamorous automation that gets you your first paying client, because businesses will pay to never lose a spreadsheet again.
