🧑‍💻​ Build a customer support system with no-code + 😊 Substack alternatives

This newsletter takes 5 mins 24 seconds to read.


โš’๏ธ Tool-Path

Inspired by Boxy Suite's setup of a customer support system with $0 and no code, our Creator in Residence Sara has built a tool-path to show you how you can do exactly the same.

With this tool-path, you'll learn how to use Airtable and Zapier to customize a powerful Airtable template to use as the base of your support system. You'll link certain Airtable fields to assign and track support tickets. Then you'll set up multiple views across your Airtable base, set up forms and automated emails to notify your team and customers.

See how to build a customer support system by using our tool-path.

๐Ÿ’ก Member Spotlight: Christine Parfitt

This week we are chatting to Christine Parfitt from Queensland, Australia. Christine is the founder of Block and Table where she specialises in building no-code solutions. Creating custom websites, databases and improving process automation for her clients. Christine has been using no-code tools for the last 4 years. She first discovered no-code tools working for a startup when looking for ways to eliminate repetitive administrative work. She looked around for automation tools and discovered Zapier and then Airtable. That was her start in the world of no-code and she has embraced it fully since then. Read the blog


๐Ÿ—ž๏ธ Substack alternatives: 3 ways to build a paid subscriber newsletter without code

Off the back of Jacob Donnellyโ€™s recent A Media Operatorโ€™s article, we built a tool-path that essentially cloned Jacobโ€™s tech stack to show you how you can achieve the same workflow. That is, to create a subscription based publication โ€” similar in many ways to what you get with Substack. Letโ€™s jump into some options available to you to build a subscription-based publication.
