Hi, I’m Roseal 👋 I’m an Operations + Project Management professional and Notion Systems Specialist with 3+ years supporting digital businesses and agencies. I help founders and teams run smoother by turning messy workflows into clean, trackable systems—so projects ship, handoffs are clear, and nothing slips. Most of my work sits at the intersection of delivery + systems: building Notion workspaces (dashboards, CRMs, SOP hubs), coordinating cross-functional teams (designers, editors, VAs), and reducing manual work through automations (Zapier/Make/n8n, GoHighLevel). What I do best: - Project & Ops coordination: timelines, task ownership, follow-ups, status reporting - Notion builds: scalable databases, dashboards, SOP systems, client portals - Workflow automation: simple triggers that reduce busywork and improve accountability Proof points: - Built an agency operations workspace that reduced manual admin by ~70% - Coordinated a video production team and improved turnaround time by ~30% - Trained freelancers/creatives on Notion (databases, relations, rollups, formulas) Tools: Notion (advanced), ClickUp, Asana, Airtable, Trello, Google Workspace, Slack, Zapier, Make, n8n, GoHighLevel, Systeme If you want a calm operator who can own delivery and build the system behind it, let’s talk!

I know exactly what needs to get done… but I feel like I'm spending all my time just trying to keep everything from falling apart.” That's what one of my clients told me before we built her Notion system. She was running her business on sticky notes, scattered spreadsheets, and voice notes. Her team kept asking the same questions. Important processes lived only in her head. Every day felt like damage control. Leads came in - but there was no CRM to track or follow up. Tasks got done - but there was no workflow to repeat them. Steps were skipped - because nothing was documented. That's the problem I solve. I'm a Notion CRM & Workflow Automation Specialist who builds tailored business systems for founders, coaches, consultants, agencies, and small teams. I turn scattered information and manual processes into one organized Notion workspace where your clients, leads, projects, tasks, SOPs, and business operations work together. I've built 10+ custom Notion systems across client projects and helped business owners free up 8+ hours per week. One coach went from tracking 12 clients across multiple spreadsheets to managing clients, projects, deadlines, and workflows inside one Notion CRM giving her full visibility into the business for the first time. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHAT I BUILD ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ◉ Notion CRM - lead tracking, client management, sales pipelines, onboarding, follow-ups ◉ Notion Workflow Automation - Make, Zapier, forms, integrations, automated processes ◉ Notion Business Operating Systems - clients, projects, tasks, SOPs, goals, and operations in one workspace ◉ Notion Project Management - task tracking, deadlines, project views, team collaboration ◉ Notion Dashboards - KPI tracking, business visibility, performance monitoring ◉ Notion SOP Systems - process documentation, team onboarding, repeatable workflows ◉ Notion Client Portals - organized client-facing workspaces and resources ◉ Notion Knowledge Bases - company wikis, documentation, and internal information ◉ Notion Templates & Custom Systems - built around how your business actually works ◉ Notion Migration & Workspace Cleanup - consolidating scattered tools and restructuring messy workspaces ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHO I WORK WITH ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ -Coaches & Consultants who need a reliable CRM and client management system -Agencies managing projects, deliverables, clients, and team workflows -Founders & Small Businesses replacing scattered spreadsheets with a centralized business operating system -Startups building organized operations and documentation as they grow ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ HOW I WORK ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ I don't hand you a generic Notion template and disappear. I first understand how your business actually operates, what is slowing you down, and where information or tasks are falling through the cracks. Then I: 1. Audit your existing workflow, tools, and requirements 2. Structure your databases, properties, relations, and processes 3. Build the Notion CRM, workspace, dashboards, and workflows 4. Automate repetitive processes where appropriate 5. Test the system and refine the user experience 6. Document & train you so your team can confidently use it Every system is built around your actual workflow not forced into a template that doesn't fit. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHAT YOU GET ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✓ One organized Notion workspace for your business ✓ A Notion CRM that keeps leads and clients from slipping through the cracks ✓ Connected projects, tasks, deadlines, and team workflows ✓ Workflow automation that reduces repetitive manual work ✓ SOPs and documentation your team can actually follow ✓ Dashboards that give you visibility without searching through multiple tools ✓ Full documentation and walkthrough after delivery ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHY WORK WITH ME? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ I currently have a 100% Job Success Score and 5.0 client rating, with completed Upwork projects and real experience building Notion systems for business owners. I focus on building systems that are: Simple enough to use. Structured enough to scale. Practical enough to become part of your daily operations. I don't build complicated workspaces that look impressive but become difficult to use. Your system should be simple enough to use, structured enough to scale, and practical enough to become part of your daily operations. If your workspace needs a tutorial every time someone logs in, it's probably too complicated. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ TOOLS & INTEGRATIONS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Notion • Notion AI • Make • Zapier • Airtable • Google Workspace • Google Sheets • Slack • Calendly • Typeform • Claude AI ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ LET'S BUILD YOUR SYSTEM ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Scattered workflows? Messy spreadsheets? Too many tools? Send me a message and tell me what you're trying to organize. I'll help you turn it into a simple Notion system that works.

👋 About Me I automate operations using AI, API integrations, and n8n, eliminating repetitive tasks and allowing teams to focus on what creates the most value. I’m Caetano, a 5th-semester Information Systems student at PUCPR and a builder of automations and AI agents applied to real business problems. I build systems capable of: • processing hundreds of leads automatically • collecting thousands of documents at scale • running simultaneous automations • integrating CRMs, APIs, messaging platforms, and AI I share projects on YouTube at CGP Automação com IA and on Instagram at @cgpautomacaoia. ⸻ 🚀 Projects 24/7 AI SDR (WhatsApp + Pipefy + n8n + OpenAI) A system that engages leads automatically, qualifies contacts, and keeps the sales pipeline updated in Pipefy. Estimated impact: 5–10 minutes saved per lead 300 leads/month → 25–50 hours saved ⸻ Invoice Collection Automation at Scale — Alexandria During my time at Alexandria, I worked on optimizing the billing department’s invoice collection process by developing an automated system capable of collecting and organizing client documents at scale. The solution was built with n8n, ran across 3 simultaneous instances, and was based on a multi-bot architecture with JavaScript decision logic, allowing automated agents to interact with service systems to request and retrieve documents. After a few days of execution, the system had collected 1700 invoices, automatically organizing the PDFs. Result: an automated, scalable, and efficient process for the department. ⸻ 8-AI-Agent Team Automation of: • emails • contacts • calendar • research Estimated impact: 30–60 minutes saved per person per day (≈10–20 hours/month) ⸻ AI Sales Automation (Pipedrive + Gmail + Sheets + Calendar) Automatic lead classification and automated follow-ups. ⸻ Automatic Document Analysis — Tintas Farben A system that reads and summarizes PDF, Excel, and Word files, saving 15–30 minutes per document. ⸻ 🛠 Tech Stack Automation / Infrastructure n8n (queue mode) • Docker • Redis • PostgreSQL • Hetzner VPS Development Python • JavaScript • Node.js • Flask • Django Integrations Google APIs • Pipefy • Pipedrive • WhatsApp / Evolution API • LLM APIs • TTS APIs Infrastructure & Versioning Webhooks • Git • GitHub ⸻ 🗣 Languages Portuguese — Native English — Advanced ⸻ 💡 What Drives Me Turning operational processes into automated and scalable systems, using automation and AI to generate real efficiency in business operations.

Hire the Best Workflow Automation Engineers

As businesses scale and strive to beat the competition, efficiency is paramount. Repetitive manual tasks can drain resources and introduce errors, hindering growth. This is where workflow automation comes in. By creating automated processes that connect your software and handle routine tasks, businesses can unlock new levels of productivity. A skilled workflow automation engineer is key to designing and implementing these powerful solutions. Whether you need to sync your CRM with marketing tools or build complex custom integrations, Upwork connects you with top independent talent who can streamline your operations and drive your business forward.

What does a workflow automation engineer do?

Workflow automation engineers design, build, and maintain automated processes that connect your business tools, eliminate repetitive tasks, and streamline operations. Their primary goal is to make systems work together seamlessly according to set guidelines, freeing up human teams to focus on more strategic work. They are technical problem-solvers who can analyze a manual process, identify inefficiencies, and then use a combination of automation platforms, APIs, and custom scripts to build a more efficient, automated solution. 

Common responsibilities include building integrations between platforms like a CRM and an email marketing tool, creating custom workflows with conditional logic using tools like Make, Zapier, or n8n, and writing scripts to handle complex data transformations. On Upwork, you can find workflow automation engineers who specialize in particular platforms or have deep experience in targeted industries, ensuring you get the right expertise for your unique challenge.

How to hire a freelance workflow automation engineer on Upwork

Step 1: Craft a targeted job post

Creating a clear, detailed job post is essential for attracting qualified workflow automation engineers who understand your project needs. A well-crafted post should outline your automation goals, the tools involved, and the specific skills you’re looking for.

  • Start with a clear description of what you want to automate and why. For example, “Need to connect Salesforce to our marketing platform to automatically update lead status” is more effective than “Need automation help.”
  • List the current tools and platforms involved (e.g., HubSpot, Slack, Google Sheets).
  • Define the desired outcome and how you’ll measure success.
  • Specify must-have skills, such as experience with your specific platforms (Make, Zapier, n8n), API integration, or relevant industry knowledge.
  • For guidance, you can use Upwork’s Job Post Generator or draw ideas from our marketing automation consultant job description template.

Step 2: Filter and evaluate candidates

Once proposals start coming in, use Upwork’s tools to narrow down the candidates to a manageable shortlist. Reviewing profiles thoroughly at this stage will save you time during the interview process.

  • Use filters to narrow your search by skills (e.g., “API Integration,” “Zapier”), Job Success Score, hourly rate, or location.
  • Review portfolios for examples of similar integrations or automation workflows they've built.
  • Check testimonials for feedback on reliability, communication, and problem-solving ability.
  • Look for Upwork badges like Top Rated Plus and Expert-Vetted, which identify professionals with a proven history of success on the platform.

Step 3: Interview your top choices

The interview is your opportunity to go beyond the profile and assess a candidate’s technical expertise, problem-solving skills, and communication style. Prepare questions that relate directly to your workflow automation project.

  • Ask about their automation approach, such as how they handle errors and edge cases in workflows.
  • Inquire about their process for testing and documenting automations to ensure they are reliable and maintainable.
  • Discuss which automation tools they’d prefer for your specific use case and why.
  • Consider a small, paid trial task, like mapping out your automation requirements, to assess technical fit and work style.
  • For more ideas, see our list of marketing automation consultant interview questions.

Step 4: Agree on scope and begin work

Before starting the project, formalize the engagement by creating a contract that clearly defines the scope, deliverables, and payment terms. This ensures both you and the engineer are aligned on expectations.

  • Choose between an hourly contract for flexible, ongoing work or a fixed-price contract for a project with well-defined deliverables.
  • For a complex project, set milestones tied to specific deliverables, such as workflow design, testing, and deployment.
  • Define success criteria up front so you both know what “done” looks like.
  • Upwork’s built-in contracts, time tracking, and Hourly Payment Protection keep projects secure and payments predictable.

How much does hiring a workflow automation engineer cost?

The cost of a freelance workflow automation engineer can depend on the type of project you’re hiring for. For example, hourly rates for a marketing automation consultant range from $40-$90. Below is the average cost for hiring a workflow automation engineer on Upwork:

$300–$800/project

Frequently asked questions

Is hiring a workflow automation engineer worth it?

Hiring a workflow automation engineer is often worth the investment when manual processes consume significant time, create errors, or limit your team’s capacity to focus on strategic work. Engineers bring technical expertise to build reliable, scalable automations that DIY tools may not handle — especially for complex workflows involving multiple apps, custom logic, or API integrations. On Upwork, you control costs by hiring for specific projects or hourly as needed, without committing to full-time headcount. If repetitive tasks are slowing your business or you’re planning to scale operations, professional automation delivers measurable ROI through time savings and error reduction.

What skills should I look for in a workflow automation engineer?

Look for your workflow automation engineer to have proficiency in popular automation platforms like Make, Zapier, or n8n, along with API integration experience and basic scripting abilities (Python, JavaScript, or similar). Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to understand business processes are also important. For complex projects, seek engineers with experience in your specific tools or industry, as they'll understand common workflows and potential challenges up front.

How long does it take to implement workflow automation?

The timeline for workflow automation varies based on complexity. A simple two-app integration might take one to three days, while multistep workflows with conditional logic typically require one to two weeks. Custom integrations involving API development or complex business rules can take several weeks to a few months. Your engineer should provide a realistic timeline after reviewing your requirements. Breaking larger projects into milestones helps track progress and manage expectations.

Do I need technical knowledge to work with a workflow automation engineer?

No technical expertise is required on your end when working with a workflow automation engineer. A skilled workflow automation engineer will translate your business needs into technical solutions and explain their approach in plain language. You simply need to understand your current process, identify pain points, communicate your desired outcomes, and monitor progress. The engineer handles the technical implementation, testing, and documentation, though they may ask clarifying questions about your tools and workflows to ensure the automation meets your needs.

Can I hire a workflow automation engineer within 24 hours on Upwork?

Yes, depending on your job post quality and current availability you can hire a workflow automation engineer within a day on Upwork. Many Upwork clients receive proposals from qualified workflow automation engineers within 24 hours of posting. Clear project descriptions and competitive rates attract faster responses.
