Create delivery slots from journey records using schedules
Automatically detect dispatch criteria from new journey rows across MySQL. Automatically create and update transport appointments, compute slot timing, and notify errorsβso you can avoid manual scheduling and follow-up.
How this automation books delivery slots from journey records
When dispatch criteria trigger but manual slot selection delays shipments, delivery windows slip and teams miss handoffs. This automation runs custom journey queries, looks up park availability, computes start and end times, posts to your scheduling endpoint, and alerts you on failuresβso your team can schedule faster.

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.
