What is No-Code?

"Programming isn't about what you know; it's about what you can figure out.” - Chris Pine

As long as you can figure out the structure of your workflow, you can build up an "application" by integrating several NCDPs (No-Code Development Platforms) without any code.

But how?

For example, you are a career consultant. You need to design a workflow and build a website for your business.

1 Booking function in website

You need build a website for your business to demonstrate your professional background and exprience. You can use a drag-and -drop website builder like Wix or Squarespace. You can register a scheduling tool like Acuity or Calendly, then embed the booking page to your website. You can set up your availability, meeting duration or even online payment.

2 Connect to database

It would be great if you can connect all of the bookings to a database such as Airtable or Google Spreadsheet. Zapier or Integromat can be used to integrate two platforms. In the database / spreadsheets, you can easily filter or sort your data. It helps you understand your client (Age group? Industry?) by data analysis or building up a dashboard.

3 Get customer's review

An automated email can be set up to send out a Typeform survey  to your client after the consultation appointment. Rating and feedback can be synced with your database in order to measure customer satisfaction.

4 Marketing

You can send out EDM (Electronic Direct Mail) or set up Email Sequences to engage with your existing clients with ConvertKit, MailChimp or Hubspot. You can share some tips on writing CV or interview to build up a professional brand.

5 Manage your team

When you scale up your business, you would need to manage more employees. Freshdesk helps you to centralise all the communication channels to increase your customer service team's efficiency . Asana, Notion and Basecamp organise your upcoming projects and help tracking your team progress.

With NCDPs, you can develop a new solution to improve your business workflow and reduce manual errors to provide a better product or service.
