Variant QA Sweep

Marketing / AUTOMATE.md

Every Friday at 9:00am, open each live landing page variant, submit the form on a phone and a laptop, and post anything that fails.

This is the whole automation. Run it as it is, or change any word, including the tools it names.

  • Broken variants found the same week
  • Forms tested on phone and laptop
  • Less spend on a page that does not work

How it runs

  1. 1. Starts

    Every Friday at 9:00am

  2. 2. Reads

    landing page variant

  3. 3. Delivers to

    Slack

  4. 4. You decide

    Approve each time, or let the steps you trust run. Your choice.

Why marketing teams set this up

A page is built, ranked first, and pushed live, so the traffic arrives at something nobody has clicked through. A form that errors on a phone, a tag that fires twice, or a thank-you page that does not exist is noticed only once the spend has gone up. Any test that runs after that is reading a result nobody can trust.

Use it as is. Or make it yours.

Edit it the way you would edit a note to a colleague. It follows the new version from the next run.

  • Change when it runs

    Move it to another day or time, or start it when something arrives, like a new email.

  • Add your own rules

    Limits, exceptions and what good looks like go in the same file, in plain words.

  • Decide what waits for you

    Mark the steps that need your OK, and let the rest run.

You stay in charge.
At every step.

It drafts and checks. You decide what goes out.

  • Nothing published without you

    Drafts wait for your review, in your voice and within your claim rules.

  • Undo what you don't want

    Every step is recorded, and a file it changed can be put back.

  • Only the channels you connect

    Each automation reaches only the apps and folders you give it.

Where does it run?
On your Mac or Windows computer, in the background. It keeps working after you close its window, and only reaches the folders and apps you connect for each automation.
How does it connect to our CRM and other tools?
Through each app's own connection where it offers one, signed in once by you, or by using the app in a browser the way you would. Each automation gets only the connections you give it, and the tools a page names are examples you can swap for your own.
Does it run when my computer is asleep?
It keeps your computer awake while a job runs and just before a scheduled one. While the computer is closed or off, nothing runs; when it wakes, it checks the inbox, calendar and other sources it watches for anything that arrived meanwhile.
How does my team use it?
Each person who runs automations installs the app. Keep a project in a shared folder, such as Google Drive or a network drive, and teammates can open it and follow every run, while one person owns it and runs it.
Do I need anyone technical to set it up?
No. Download the app, add an automation in plain words, and connect only what that job needs. Nothing runs until you switch it on.

Already have tools for this? Here is the difference.

Your marketing platform's workflows

Sending sequences and scoring contacts inside one tool.

They stop at that tool's edge, and can't draft from a brief or explain a drop in results.

Flowchart automation tools

Moving data between apps at high volume.

Every exception becomes another branch someone has to build and maintain.

AI chat and writing assistants

Drafting copy when you ask.

Nothing happens until you ask again, and your brief, voice and checks live in a chat.

AUTOMATE.md

Your routine, written in plain words. It runs on its own, follows your rules, handles the exceptions a flowchart can't, and asks you when it matters. The file stays yours, whichever AI model runs it.

Other setups for the same job.

Form Completion Drop

When a form's completion rate drops, compare the page and variant against last week, then post the likely cause and what to check next.

When form completion drops more than 20% week over week
