1.Monitors event updates
Integrate Google Calendar to detect updated event details and capture subject, event link, creator, and attendee emails.
Notify project coordinators when subcontractor added to event
Automatically monitor event updates across Google Calendar and email across Gmail. Get instant alerts when subcontractor added, coordinator emails change, or event details updateβso you can notify coordinators, notify procurement, and share the event link without manual routing.
How this automation speeds up subcontractor coordination
When an installation event is updated but subcontractors are added quietly, procurement and coordinators miss the moment to reassign and issue POs. This automation updates attendee handling, filters qualifying external subcontractors, and sends email alerts with the event link and next stepsβso your team can move fast.

Without Zapier, we would have needed well over 100 employees today just to do what we're doing. We would have been out of business by now.
David Laderberg, VP of Sales
Without having automation, we would have to at least be double our size. Doubling is a bit of a euphemism β I think we would have died or fallen back into oblivion.
Marcelo Lebre, Co-Founder
Zapier helps us close far above 50% more deals than we would without it. It is a key element of our overall strategy and, therefore, of our sales pitch.
Raphael Bochner, Founder and CIO
Zapier gives us unlimited flexibility and creativity. With Zapier, you're like an artist with a blank canvas. I don't know what we'd do without it.
