I built a compliance + payroll automation engine for HVAC businesses in n8n.
Licenses expire. Certs lapse. Payroll still got done by hand on Friday nights.
I wanted to see how much of this I could just... eliminate. Here's what I built π§΅

Three things I'm still figuring out:
β Document storage β Google Drive was the obvious move but I haven't committed
β Whether Sheets holds up at scale or I need to move to a proper DB eventually
β How to actually reach the operators who'd use this

Stack, kept deliberately simple:
β Google Sheets as the compliance DB
β Gmail for standard alerts
β Telegram for anything urgent
β Webhooks for on-demand requests
My constraint was that a small HVAC operator should be able to run this without needing a developer on call.
Good morning to my automation enthusiasts
Please how do you guys extract the contents of a docx file, I know there's a native n8n node that handles pdf and file types extraction but not docx file?πππ
