Automate Invoicing & Client Onboarding Before You Hire Anyone
Hook Bonsai to Stripe on launch: set a one-third deposit trigger, a 3-day late-fee ladder at 2, 5, 10 percent, and auto-release final files once the last payment clears. Average payout wait falls from 14 to 4 days.

Secure the rule in cloud storage permissions. Set Google Drive to ”view only” for the client until the second signature is captured. The moment it lands, an automated Zapier script upgrades access to ”comment” and pings Slack. Zero manual toggles, zero leaks.

Select the parent year folder.
Ctrl-click the first and last day folder → right-click → label purple if the day packs over five hundred frames.
Create a cloud script: when purple is detected, move contents to yyyy/zz_OVERFLOW and wipe label to gray.

Drop the post at 09:15 local time when mobile traffic jumps by a third above daily average; push a 3-word CTA ”drop 2 handles” inside the caption at character 80 so it shows before the fold. DM a pre-written message to 25 micro-influencers (five to thirty thousand followers, ≥4 % engagement) at T-0 with a 150×150 px graphic and a 12-character tracker link; ask them to repost within 3 minutes. Their combined audiences produce the first twenty outbound signals, tripling reach velocity in the algorithm’s first evaluation window.

Limit the cloud-side quota by pushing only the DNGs you will tweak this month; stash the rest on a 256 GB V30 SD card labelled ”2024-Q3-RAW” and store it in a separate room. Use rclone with –drive-import-formats dng and –drive-use-trash=false so nothing mutates to JPEG and nothing counts twice.

Price check: the Chrome add-on is gratis for a handful; SheetLimiter costs nothing because the sheet stays under the free tier; Zapier runs on the starter tier if you check hourly the counter on a schedule instead of on real-time.

Build the tag string in the Campaign URL Builder: fill Source with the folder name (e.g. ”startup-kit”), Medium with ”pdf-cta”, Content with the slide number or paragraph anchor; keep the string <200 characters so it remains clickable inside most mobile viewers.

GDrive Guardian: Chrome plugin → right-click any file → ”Quota Guard” → enter the number → click ”Activate”. Link returns gone once counter hits limit+1; counter restarts only if you deliberately toggle off.
Sheet2Site Countdown: Make a single-row Google Sheet with columns: Link, Limit (250), Tally (formula =COUNTA(IMPORTRANGE(”opt-in_sheet”,”A:A”))).
