In this episode of Mortgage Tech Talks, we break down one of the most common questions mortgage brokers have: Should you be using workflow automation tools like Zapier, Make (Integromat), or N8n in your business?
Here’s the thing—automation tools can save time and boost efficiency, but most brokers either avoid them entirely or hire someone to build complex systems they can’t maintain. That’s a problem.
Tom dives into:
- What these tools really do
- Pros and cons of the top platforms
- Real-world examples from the mortgage industry
- A checklist to know if automation is right for you
