Together, we win back your time

If your team follows up on leads by hand, copies data between systems or rebuilds the same report every week, that work can run on its own. As your AI automation partners, we build marketing and business process automation around the way your team already works. We connect your software and hand routine tasks to automated workflows and AI agents, then keep everything running with ongoing support. If you'd rather run it in-house, we train your team to own it.

  • Marketing automation

    We connect the tools your marketing already runs on, so every lead gets captured, followed up and reported without anyone chasing it.

  • Process automation

    CRM updates, data entry, weekly reports and back office work, handed to software and built around how your team already works.

  • AI agents

    Agents trained on your business answer routine questions, qualify leads, route each request and keep your CRM current, with your team stepping in wherever it matters.

  • AI chatbots

    Chatbots that answer your customers from your own information, capture every lead and pass the conversation to a person when it needs one.

  • Custom control towers

    A custom system that manages your whole automation stack, with dashboards, reports, alerts and AI agents built around your business.

  • Managed automation and monitoring

    Ongoing support comes with every automation we launch. Our team monitors each workflow, fixes what breaks and keeps adding automations as your business grows, which gives you automation leadership without adding a new hire. If you'd rather run it in-house, we train your team to own what we built and extend it.

Do more, with less.

Your business is sitting on more capacity than you realize.

  • Your people

    Your people already know the work. What they need is the hours back.

  • Your systems

    Your systems already hold the information. They just need to share it.

  • Your week

    Every hour returned compounds, because it comes back every week.

Who we serve

Where we do our best work

  • Owner or CEO

    “I know AI matters. I don't know where it pays off first.”

    Start with the free AI Readiness Assessment, fifteen questions that take about five minutes and need no sign-up. It gives you a readiness stage and shows the work you can automate today. When you want the full picture, the Full Automation Plan puts hours and dollars against the workflows costing you the most.

  • Operations lead

    “Work moves between our systems by hand, and my team is the glue.”

    We connect the software you already use, from your CRM to your accounting system, with n8n, Zapier or custom code. Information then moves between them on its own, and nobody on your team types the same thing twice. If you're not sure where to begin, our guide to what to automate first walks you through finding the process that's worth it.

  • Already started with AI

    “We already use AI tools. The results change every time.”

    Some teams reach us after starting with AI on their own, and what they need now is results they can rely on. We build automations with documented playbooks and guardrails around security, and ongoing support comes with every one we launch. Book a Brainstorm and bring the process you'd most like to get right.

Security first

Security is built into every automation.

Each automation touches only the data its job needs and leaves a record every time it runs. Every one follows the same three rules.

  1. Limited access by job.

    Each connection gets the smallest set of permissions its job requires. A reporting job can read your numbers. It can't change them.

  2. Fingerprinted, every run.

    Every automation run is logged, so you can always trace it. Nothing touches your data without a trail.

  3. Keys kept in a vault.

    Passwords and API keys live in a secure vault, never in the code and never in an email thread.

The data we connect, securely

  • Customers & CRM
  • Email & texts
  • Finances & payments
  • Calls & scheduling
  • Support & helpdesk
  • Marketing & analytics
  • Orders & inventory
  • Team & HR

Team workshop

Train your team on its own tools

For mid-size companies and smaller businesses that want to build automations in‑house. We sit with one team at a time, say finance, then marketing or admin, and work through that team's real problems on its own systems. Each group leaves with a first automation it built itself.

Remote or on-site. Sized to your team and goals. Priced to your company.

Who's behind it

Founder-led since 2005

Automate iComm is the automation line of iComm Studios, which Travis Hedrick founded in 2005 and still leads. He started building websites in the Notepad days before Dreamweaver existed. More than twenty years of website work, SEO, digital marketing and consulting put him inside a lot of businesses, close enough to see where leads were lost, what efficiencies you can harness and which work actually brings in revenue.

Over the last three years, automation swept through digital marketing and web development, and Travis had no choice but to learn, adapt and find where it fit into his own workflows. When a copywriter quit in the middle of a project, it was the push he needed to invest in automation for real. That was the point he knew he could use this technology to analyze, automate and optimize any business. The process he built then now runs for every iComm client, and about 85% of iComm's own marketing runs on automation he built, connected to more than 15 data sources and kept secure and local-first.

Companies usually reach us from one of two places. Some have already started with AI on their own and now need consistent, quality results, while others have no idea where to begin. Automate iComm fills that gap as your long-term partner, building systems you can rely on, with documented playbooks and guardrails around security.

Intelligent Communication. It's what the iComm name has meant from the start.

Questions

AI automation questions answered

Start with the process that eats the most hours every week and follows the same steps each time. Common candidates are lead follow-up, copying data between systems and weekly reporting. A free Brainstorm meeting finds the process worth automating first. To work it out with your own team first, follow our one-week exercise.

Connect the tools you already use instead of replacing them. We link your CRM, accounting software, calendar and inbox with n8n, Zapier or custom code, so information moves between them on its own and nobody on your team types it twice.

Business automation consulting finds where your team's hours go and gives them back. We map your processes, automate the ones worth automating with workflows and AI agents, and our team stays on as your automation partner to keep everything running.

The Full Automation Plan answers that with your own numbers. It maps the workflows costing you the most, with hours and dollars against each one and what it takes to automate them, so you can decide before you commit to a build.

The Brainstorm is a free thirty-minute meeting, and the AI Readiness Assessment is free and self-serve. The Full Automation Plan is $2,495 and arrives in five business days, and the fee is credited in full if the build starts within 30 days. It is yours to keep, and you can build from it in-house or with us.

No. It takes the repetitive work off their plate so they can spend the week on the work that needs them. AI agents handle routine questions and automated lead follow-up, and a person steps in whenever it matters.

Yes, and it is built into every automation. Each connection gets only the permissions its job needs, every run is logged, and passwords and API keys stay in a secure vault, never in code or email.

We fix it, because ongoing support comes with every automation we build. We monitor each workflow, repair what breaks, tune what could run better and keep adding automations as your business grows, with one point of contact the whole way.

It is a thirty-minute call with no pitch deck and no obligation. Bring the process that eats the most of your week. You leave knowing your best opportunity, whether or not you work with us.

Mostly mid-size companies, roughly $5M to $100M in revenue, where work crosses several teams and systems. Smaller businesses are welcome too. The free AI Readiness Assessment and the Brainstorm are open to everyone, and we size each project to the company in front of us.
