Request Template

Streamline your internal request processes with this Request Template built in Zapier. This tool simplifies how team members submit and track requests through one request form, ensuring smooth communication and efficient management across any department.

How the request process works

Use this template built with Zapier Interfaces, Tables, and Workflows to receive and track requests:

• Request form: Team members fill out a form to submit their new request based on their request type whether for video production, content creation, software/IT support, vacation approvals, or other service request.
• Notification system: Once a request is submitted, an automatic notification is sent to the admin, alerting them of the new request.
• Request tracking: The request is then added to Zapier Tables, where admins can view and manage all incoming requests, change statuses, and leave notes.
• Status updates: Admins update the status of requests directly in the table. Each status update triggers a notification to the requester, keeping them informed of the progress.

Requesters have access to a Zapier Interface that displays their submitted requests along with the current status of each. While the current template uses unique URL parameters to display only a requester's requests, you can lock the interface down to only certain users allowing them to only see their own submitted requests.

The Request Template is highly customizable to fit various types of requests. It can be easily adapted to serve different departments or needs within your organization.
