Zapier automation in Bury and Greater Manchester
I'm Garry McEwen, a business process and automation expert in Bury.
Typing the same details into two apps? I set it up so you type them once.
I'm a Zapier Silver Solution Partner.
Zapier is an online service that links your apps, so information moves between them without anyone typing it again.
I build those links for you. Each one is called a Zap.
From £150, price agreed before I start.
What I build with Zapier
I build a simple Zap that takes new details from one app and puts them in another.
For example, an enquiry from your website form can go straight into your spreadsheet and your email, with no copying and pasting.
I can join your forms, email, spreadsheets and accounts software, where Zapier links to them.
What I can do with Zapier
Services
Fixing Zaps that have stopped working. A Zap is one link Zapier runs between your apps. If one has stopped, I look at it first and tell you what I can do, and the price, before any work starts.
Fix a Zap that has stopped working
Invoices made from your spreadsheet. I can set up a Zap that makes an invoice from the details you already keep, so you don't type them again.
Matching payments to the right person. I can set up a Zap that checks payments against who owes what, so you don't tick them off by hand.
Long automations with many steps. Some jobs need many steps in a row: check, sort, update, tell someone. I can build Zaps with 50 or more steps.
AI steps and AI workflows. An AI step uses a large language model (LLM), a tool that reads and writes text, to do one job inside a Zap, such as sort an email or draft a reply. You check what it writes. If a job needs an AI step, I'll tell you before we agree it.
Apps I can connect with Zapier
I'm based in Bury, Greater Manchester, and I set up Zaps remotely for businesses across the UK.
- Google Sheets: a Zap that triggers when a new row is added, and sends it on.
- Gmail: send a reply when a new enquiry arrives.
- Google Drive: save a file in the right folder.
- Google Docs: fill in a document template with new details.
- Google Calendar: add a booking to your calendar.

Each one depends on what the app lets Zapier do, so I check before we agree the job.
App names, including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Grok, are trademarks of their owners, such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and xAI. They are used here only to say which apps I work with. I don't work for, and am not endorsed by, any of these companies.
Fixing Zaps that have stopped working
Sometimes a Zap stops working and nobody knows why.
Zapier keeps a record of each time a Zap runs. It is called Zap History.
I start there to find what broke. Then I tell you what went wrong and the price, before I fix it.
Where I work
I'm based in Bury and work across Greater Manchester.
I also take work anywhere in the UK, remotely.
How it works
- We talk about the job you want to stop doing twice.
- I tell you what I'll build and the price.
- I build it and test it with made-up details first.
- I show you how it works and hand it over.
Your Zapier account stays yours
I usually build your Zaps in your own Zapier account.
When the job is done, I remove my access.
Examples from my work
Invoices made from a sales sheet
Still typing each sale twice, once in your sheet and again on the invoice?
Add the sale to your sales sheet, and your invoice is made for you in your Google Drive.
No copying details from one place to another.
Payments checked against your fee sheet
Still ticking off each bank payment by hand against your fee sheet?
Save your monthly bank statement in a Google Drive folder, and the payments are added to your sheet for you.
Anything that doesn't fit goes on a separate list for you to check.

Do I need a paid Zapier plan?
It depends on the job. I'll tell you which plan suits you before I start. You can see Zapier's prices on its own pricing page.
Whose Zapier account are the Zaps in?
Usually yours. If I ever need to use my own account, I'll ask for your written OK first. I remove my access when the job is done.

Yes. I look at Zap History first, then give you a price before I fix it.

From £150, price agreed before I start.

Yes. I take work anywhere in the UK, remotely.
