What Is an Automation Audit?
An automation audit is a structured review of how work actually moves through your business — not how the org chart says it should. We map the clicks, sheets, chats and approvals that eat 10–20 hours per person each week, then check whether your current automations help or just create tech debt faster. In Nigeria, where teams often stitch WhatsApp, bank alerts, Google Sheets and a CRM together, that gap gets expensive quickly — which is exactly what an automation audit Nigeria team needs to expose early.
The audit covers what you built and what you haven’t: n8n or Zapier flows, Make scenarios, CRM pipelines, form-to-sheet zaps, WhatsApp bots, and the API calls between them. We look for duplicate tools, fragile webhooks, missing error handling and places where a $30/month automation could replace 15 hours of manual follow-up. One client cut 22 hours weekly on order confirmation alone after we consolidated three Zaps into a single n8n workflow.
You get a plain-English report, not a slide deck. Screens, logs and subscription invoices back every recommendation. If you decide to implement, the same blueprint becomes the build spec for n8n automation, CRM automation and lead capture automation. No guesswork, no rebuilding twice.
Four Lenses of an Automation Audit Nigeria
Each lens produces a specific artifact you can act on next week, not next quarter.
Bottleneck Mapping
We shadow sales, ops and support for 2–3 days and log every repetitive task. Typical find: 18–35% of paid hours lost to copy-paste and status chasing.
Architecture Blueprint
Visual map of apps, triggers, webhooks and failure points. Shows where n8n, Make or Zapier should be the system of record — and where sheets should retire.
Effort vs ROI Backlog
Spreadsheet of 15–30 potential builds graded by build days, monthly savings, risk reduction and revenue impact. Highest leverage first.
Cost & Risk Check
Task limits, API quotas, exposed keys, missing retries. We flag $200–$800/month in duplicate subscriptions and fragility that breaks at 2am.
How an Automation Audit Works — 3 Steps in a Week
Discover (Day 1–2)
Kickoff call + screen-share walkthroughs. We review your n8n/Make/Zapier runs, CRM stages, Sheets and WhatsApp flows, plus 3 months of invoices. No credentials needed — just share screens and export logs.
Map (Day 3–5)
We produce the architecture map and a bottleneck heatmap with hours lost per handoff. Each workflow gets a grade: keep, consolidate or rebuild. This is where an automation audit Nigeria review shows where lead capture automation and WhatsApp automation plug in hardest.
Prioritize (Day 6–7)
We deliver the ranked backlog and 30-day quick wins for the automation audit Nigeria playbook. Day-7 call walks through trade-offs: effort, cost to run, and expected return. You leave with a playbook you can hand to any builder — or have us ship it. Pairs with reporting dashboards for ongoing visibility.
What We Audit
An automation audit Nigeria review covers the stack you actually use, not an ideal diagram. Common systems:
- Orchestration: n8n, Make, Zapier — task counts, error rates, duplicate flows
- CRM & data: HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zoho, Google Sheets, Airtable
- Capture: Facebook Lead Ads, Webflow/WordPress forms, Cal.com, GoHighLevel
- Messaging: WhatsApp Business API, Twilio SMS, email — consent and template health
- Ops: Invoicing, order updates, reporting — SOPs and manual checkpoints
We audit self-hosted n8n with the same rigor as Zapier — see n8n architecture.

Automation Audit — FAQ
What is an automation audit? ⌄
It maps how work really flows, reviews your n8n, CRM and API setups, and flags bottlenecks, duplicate tools and failure points so you fix leverage first.
How much does an automation audit cost in Nigeria? ⌄
A focused automation audit Nigeria engagement is $200–$500 for SMEs. Team-wide reviews with full backlog and blueprints are $600–$1,200. Build costs are scoped separately.
How long does an automation audit take? ⌄
3–7 days: one discovery call, two working sessions via screen share, and a delivery call. No credential access needed until you approve a build.
Do you need access to our tools? ⌄
Not for the audit. We use screen-share and read-only exports. Secure credential access is only requested when you green-light implementation.
We already use Zapier or Make — can you audit it? ⌄
Yes. We review task usage, error rates and duplicate scenarios, then propose consolidation or a move to self-hosted n8n where it saves 40–60% on ops.
What do I get at the end? ⌄
A bottleneck map, architecture blueprint, backlog ranked by effort vs ROI, cost and risk notes, plus a 30-day quick-wins list your team can start without us.
