Stop Wasting Time on Manual Content Repurposing: Automate Knowledge Sharing (Without Hiring More Admin)

Hey System Optimiser!

Last week, a client told me she was spending 5 hours every week turning one webinar recording into:

• a blog post

• a client follow-up email

• a team summary

• and a set of action items

That’s not strategy. That’s reformatting.

If you’re a small business, you’ve probably felt this: your expertise is valuable but your time disappears into turning the same information into five different formats.

 The good news: with the right system, most of this becomes automatic.

The Hidden Time-Thief: “Rewriting What You Already Said”

Manual repurposing usually looks like this:

• You run a client call → then type up notes → then send a recap email → then log it in your CRM

• You deliver a training/webinar → then pull highlights → then create internal documentation

• You capture great insights in meetings → then they vanish in someone’s notebook or inbox

This costs time and creates risk: missed follow-ups, inconsistent messaging, and knowledge trapped in people’s heads.

The Automation Goal (Simple + Realistic)

You don’t need a “content machine.” You need a workflow that reliably does three things: 

1. Capture what was said (meeting/video)

2. Convert it into reusable formats (summary, tasks, email, content draft)

3. Route it where it needs to go (ClickUp/monday.com, Pipedrive, docs/wiki)

    

Your default stack makes this very doable:

Pipedrive + Make.com or Zapier + ClickUp or monday.com

…and for meetings: Fathom or ClickUp AI Notetaker

3 High-ROI Workflows (Built for Your Sectors) 

1) Meetings → Summary + Tasks + Client Recap (Automatically)

Best for: consultants, professional services, agencies, health/education teams, non-profits

 Workflow

• Fathom or ClickUp AI Notetaker captures transcript + summary + action items

• Make.com or Zapier routes outputs to:

  • Pipedrive: note logged under the deal/contact + next step

  • (optional) Email draft: recap email generated and saved as a draft for review

  • ClickUp or monday.com: tasks created and assigned (with due dates if you want rules)

 Result: you stop rewriting the same meeting three times in three systems.

2) Webinars/Workshops → Blog + Email + Social Snippets (From One Source)

Best for: education, non-profits, consultants, thought leadership, agencies

 Workflow

• Use your webinar recording/transcript as the single source of truth

• Automation sends transcript into a “Repurpose” pipeline in ClickUp or monday.com

• AI prompt/template generates:

  • blog draft outline

  • “client-friendly” email version

  • 5–10 social post ideas

  • FAQ section (great for health/education and service businesses)

Result: one workshop becomes a week (or month) of consistent communication, without starting from scratch.

3) Site Visits / Renovation Updates → Client Updates + Internal Handoffs

Best for: renovation businesses, project-based services, agencies managing deliverables

 Workflow

• Team records quick voice note after a visit (or uses meeting notes if it’s a call)

• Automation creates:

  • Client update (simple, non-technical)

  • Internal task list (materials, scheduling, approvals)

  • Pipedrive update (stage/progress note + next action) 

Result: fewer “just checking in” messages and fewer dropped handoffs.

Try This, This Week (Start in Under 30 Minutes)

If you want one quick win, do this: 

1. Pick one repeatable meeting type (sales call, client check-in, project update, board meeting)

2. Turn on Fathom or ClickUp AI Notetaker

3. Choose one destination:

   • ClickUp or monday.com (tasks + summary)

4. Use Make.com (best for multi-step logic) or Zapier (fast and simple) to:

   • create tasks from action items

   • attach the summary to the project/client record

5. Add one lightweight rule: “Every meeting generates a recap + tasks within 10 minutes.”

 Even automating the capture + summary alone saves real time immediately.

If this saves you 2 hours/week, that’s ~100 hours/year.

For most professional service teams, that’s thousands in recovered time, plus fewer missed follow-ups.

Over to You (Reply With One Number)

Reply with 1, 2, or 3: 

1. I want meetings → tasks + recap + CRM updates

2. I want webinars/trainings → blog + email + social

3. I want project updates → client updates + internal handoffs

If you reply, tell me what you use: ClickUp or monday.com, and Make.com or Zapier—and whether Pipedrive is in the mix. I’ll send back a suggested automation flow (and the exact outputs to generate) tailored to your workflow.

Here’s to working smarter, not harder!
