1.Detect updated homework submission record
Integrate Zapier Tables and data change detection to capture homework submissions when status updates happen.
Subtract one from student open assignment count in tracker
Automatically monitor homework submission status updates across Zapier Tables and Zapier platform tools. Get alerts for qualifying updates when status changes, correct labels appear, or rows qualify—so you can filter records, decrement open assignments, and propagate progress changes without manual tracking.
How this automation protects open assignment counts
When homework status changes create timing gaps in learner progress, counters drift and manual reconciliation is required. This automation monitors updated records, filters and finds matches, then decrements progress counters and propagates changes—so your team can keep counts accurate.

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 — 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.
Rishi Shah, CEO and Co-Founder
