Technology in Architectural Practice

What's one task you've successfully automated in your workflow?

What's one task you've handed off to a script or tool, and how did it change your process? Share your automation win (or fail).

I'm not surprised no one has responded. My guess is because most of us look at automation as a complex system we don't have the time or patients to build, which I often fall into this category. Or it also could be because the stuff that we think can be automated is already being automated by the tools we use daily (ie Revit - auditing, clash detection reports, schedules; Calendars - reminders, Document Apps which tag photos or auto-populate the basic stuff; etc..). 
There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about or read about automation in some form or another. Although these may be different topics completely, I like to think of Automation as a form of Idea/Information Management. With that being said, my wins (which mostly consist of daily fails) are working towards a system to manage and automate the ideas of our clients (which as we all know can come in all shapes, sizes and budgets... and are subject to change).
