The weekly challenge
Every Sunday a new client-grade automation brief drops, pulled from actual freelance work, not toy exercises. Build it in n8n, Zapier or Make, record a short Loom, and ship it before the clock runs down.
Two builders at your tier or higher review every submission. Ship on time and you bank up to +40 stacks, the points that climb you from Beginner to Intermediate.
A real-estate agency gets 60+ form leads a day. Score each lead, assign it to the right agent, and drop a clean summary in Slack, with no duplicates.

Automatic review request
A barber shop with loyal regulars had almost no online reviews because nobody asked. This n8n workflow automatically requests a Google review after each completed visit, once per visit, never twice. Staff set a booking's Status to Done in Google Sheets. Every hour, within opening hours, the workflow reads the Review Log and completed bookings, filters unprocessed rows, removes duplicates by phone, and caps each run at five clients. Anyone asked within seven days is skipped; returning clients are asked again after that gap. Green API checks WhatsApp registration, then sends a personalised message with the review link. Clients without WhatsApp, or whose send fails, receive an HTML email via Gmail. Every ask is logged, each booking is marked Sent, Skipped or Not Reached, and Not Reached triggers a Slack alert for staff follow up. Approach: polling rather than event triggers keeps it simple and self healing, and every decision favours not sending over risking a duplicate. Tools: n8n, Google Sheets, Green API, Gmail, Slack and Telegram. Guardrails: opening hours check, five client cap per run, retries, email fallback, and a separate error workflow alerting me instantly on Telegram.

Week 16Web form to classified record
I built an intake system for a phone and laptop repair shop (a scenario called Afri-Tech) that turns a free-text web form into a clean, categorised Airtable record. A customer submits a Tally form with their name, email, optional phone number and a description of the problem. The form sends the request to an n8n workflow through a webhook. A JavaScript step extracts the details and checks the submission is usable. OpenAI then identifies the device, the type of repair, the urgency, a one-line summary and a drafted acknowledgement, choosing only from fixed lists. A second JavaScript step checks the AI's answer before anything is saved, and the record is created in Airtable with the customer's original message kept beside the classification. When a request is unclear, mentions more than one device, or isn't a repair request, it's marked "Needs review" for a person to look at instead of being guessed. Submissions that fail validation go to a separate Rejected submissions table, so nothing disappears silently. The acknowledgement is only a draft. Nothing is sent automatically. Tools: Tally, n8n, OpenAI, Airtable.

Week 15AI article draft generator
My worry wasn’t whether I could connect a topic to AI. That part is easy. My worry was: would the output be good enough that I’d want to use it? Generic AI writing doesn’t solve the real problem; it just moves the work from “writing” to “rewriting everything the AI got wrong.” So I built the pipeline around three things I didn’t want my AI doing: sounding like a stranger, making things up, and going unchecked. Tools: n8n, Google Sheets, Tavily, OpenAI, Google Docs, Telegram. What it does: A new row in Sheets with the topic and tone kicks it off. Tavily searches the topic for current information, keeping the article grounded in facts instead of the model’s memory. It pulls 1–2 samples of writing and uses them as a style reference. An AI writer combines everything into a draft, title, meta description, tags, and article. A second AI step reviews it, scores it, identifies what’s weak, and retries once with that feedback if the score is low. The draft saves to Google Docs, the sheet updates with its link and score, and Telegram notifies me when it’s ready.

Week 14Snap-a-receipt expense logger
I built a simple expense tracker using n8n, Telegram, OpenAI Vision, Google Sheets, and Google Drive. I can send a photo of a receipt, invoice, or bank transfer confirmation to my Telegram bot. n8n receives the image and sends it to OpenAI Vision, which reads the vendor, date, amount, category, and reference number. The information is then cleaned up and added to Google Sheets. Before saving it, the workflow checks if the image is clear and also checks if I have already logged the same expense. If the image is unclear, the bot asks me to send a clearer one. If it is a duplicate, it tells me that it has already been logged. For new expenses, the original image is saved to Google Drive, and the link is added to the Google Sheets row. One problem I had was that the image was getting lost during the workflow before it reached Google Drive. I fixed this with a Code node that brings the original image back before uploading it. At the end, the bot sends me a message showing exactly what was recorded, so I can quickly check that everything is correct.

StackedHQ has been helping me stay consistent in automation. Personally, I'm someone who doesn't like putting my face in public, but StackedHQ has helped massively with that. The most impressive part has been populating my portfolio — before StackedHQ I had just 2 projects, and in the 3 weeks since we launched, I've added 3 more.

If I could plot a graph of my growth since joining StackedHQ, it will show how far I have come. And it is not just my skills, my LinkedIn is in the ups too. This community was exactly what I wanted when I submitted my capstone project and thought, what next?

Stacked is the best thing that has happened to me in automation. I started learning AI automation without a community and no one to keep me accountable — that's changed within the span of three weeks. Presentation hasn't been my strongest point, but breaking down a workflow three times in three weeks is great progress.

I learnt a lot from the reviews I got and the workflows I reviewed. My ability to present my work through videos is on the rise. I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. StackedHQ has provided me a torch to guide my way forward.

When I finished my training with TS Academy, I lost interest in AI and automation. StackedHQ helped me build that interest back, and now I build workflows outside the weekly challenge. I had a portfolio going before and abandoned it — StackedHQ got me adding projects to it again.

After my capstone, I almost gave up on AI automation because it felt too difficult. But since joining, I've built three workflows, gained confidence from the feedback and support, and even made my first LinkedIn post. I haven't landed a client yet, but I've landed a student I'm currently tutoring on the basics of AI automation.

After my course I sat on projects for a month. I had other engagements and the ginger just was not coming. Since I joined Stacked, every week a project comes, and the people here push you to just do it and submit. I can automate things on my own now. I have not landed a client yet, but I know I will soon.

Who it’s for
Built for the post-course gap
You finished the course. You can build. But what, for who, and where do clients come from? That gap is exactly what Stacked closes.

Questions
Short and honest
No. Stacked is a community of builders shipping real challenges, not lessons. You should already know the basics of at least one tool.
Expired challenges still count for your portfolio, and the 4 most recent earn reduced stacks. You never fully lose a week.
Yes. Change your primary platform once every 30 days from your profile.
No refunds after access is granted, except a payment error within 24 hours. You’re paying for a room of builders, not a returnable product.
Yes. Finish your n8n / Zapier / Make basics first. Stacked is where you go from “I can build” to “I’m earning.”
