Hi, Iโ€™m Roseal ๐Ÿ‘‹ Iโ€™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 systemsโ€”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, letโ€™s talk!

With an extensive Upwork client history profile and having been Expert-vetted by Upwork as being in the top 1% of freelancers, I look forward to working with you soon! I am an integrations expert and am able to use tools such as Zapier, Microsoft Power Automate (formerly called Flow), and Make (formerly called Integromat), to create API integrations between many different applications. I have a keen understanding of backend data and how to easily get relevant information from one system to another. Integrating systems on the backend helps business workflow to be simplistic, efficient, and fast. I have been working on integrations since 2016, and have linked together numerous CRMs, accounting systems, marketing systems, spreadsheets, etc in a variety of ways, some simple and some extremely complex. Given API documentation, I am able to build custom connections, triggers, and actions in Zapier for many cloud based applications that do not yet have Zapier integration. Some of my other skills include Javascript, Airtable, Google Sheets, Google Forms, Fillable PDFs, Softr, JotForm, Typeform, Fillout Forms, X2CRM, Excel, Canvas, Planning Center, TeamUnify, Amateur Radio Operator, French language. As the owner of Glaive Consulting, I understand the needs of the small business owner to automate as much of the business as possible to allow focus on client work. Task tracking, time tracking and invoicing and customer followup are among some workflows that I have optimized for my business. Let me help you do the same!

๐Ÿ‘‹ 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. Iโ€™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: โ€ข processing hundreds of leads automatically โ€ข collecting thousands of documents at scale โ€ข running simultaneous automations โ€ข integrating CRMs, APIs, messaging platforms, and AI I share projects on YouTube at CGP Automaรงรฃo com IA and on Instagram at @cgpautomacaoia. โธป ๐Ÿš€ 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: 5โ€“10 minutes saved per lead 300 leads/month โ†’ 25โ€“50 hours saved โธป Invoice Collection Automation at Scale โ€” Alexandria During my time at Alexandria, I worked on optimizing the billing departmentโ€™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. โธป 8-AI-Agent Team Automation of: โ€ข emails โ€ข contacts โ€ข calendar โ€ข research Estimated impact: 30โ€“60 minutes saved per person per day (โ‰ˆ10โ€“20 hours/month) โธป AI Sales Automation (Pipedrive + Gmail + Sheets + Calendar) Automatic lead classification and automated follow-ups. โธป Automatic Document Analysis โ€” Tintas Farben A system that reads and summarizes PDF, Excel, and Word files, saving 15โ€“30 minutes per document. โธป ๐Ÿ›  Tech Stack Automation / Infrastructure n8n (queue mode) โ€ข Docker โ€ข Redis โ€ข PostgreSQL โ€ข Hetzner VPS Development Python โ€ข JavaScript โ€ข Node.js โ€ข Flask โ€ข Django Integrations Google APIs โ€ข Pipefy โ€ข Pipedrive โ€ข WhatsApp / Evolution API โ€ข LLM APIs โ€ข TTS APIs Infrastructure & Versioning Webhooks โ€ข Git โ€ข GitHub โธป ๐Ÿ—ฃ Languages Portuguese โ€” Native English โ€” Advanced โธป ๐Ÿ’ก 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.ย 

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 youโ€™re looking for.

  • Start with a clear description of what you want to automate and why. For example, โ€œNeed to connect Salesforce to our marketing platform to automatically update lead statusโ€ is more effective than โ€œNeed automation help.โ€
  • List the current tools and platforms involved (e.g., HubSpot, Slack, Google Sheets).
  • Define the desired outcome and how youโ€™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 Upworkโ€™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 Upworkโ€™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., โ€œAPI Integration,โ€ โ€œZapierโ€), 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 candidateโ€™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 theyโ€™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.

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 โ€œdoneโ€ looks like.
  • Upworkโ€™s built-in contracts, time tracking, and Hourly Payment Protection keep projects secure and payments predictable.

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 teamโ€™s capacity to focus on strategic work. Engineers bring technical expertise to build reliable, scalable automations that DIY tools may not handle โ€” 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 youโ€™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.
