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.

We don't just want to patch holes; we want to build scalable, future-proof systems. Zapier is helping us do that.

Transform your manufacturing ops with Zapier
Zapier unlocks practical automation for manufacturing operations. Coordinate production, automate quality checks, and streamline supplier updates—and that’s just the start.
Production scheduling
Keep production moving on time
Automate production scheduling workflows as demand, capacity, and work orders change. Route schedule updates from NetSuite or Airtable into Slack and Google Sheets. Keep manufacturing ops moving with less manual coordination.
Real-time schedule alerts
Catch schedule shifts instantly and send Slack alerts when a production plan changes, so manufacturing teams react before delays spread.
Update production calendars
Push revised timelines into Google Calendar or Google Sheets when ERP or MES data changes, keeping every line aligned automatically.
Capacity planning records
Record capacity changes in Airtable or monday.com so planners can compare labor, machine time, and output without manual updates.
Route urgent work orders
Route priority work orders to the right team in Slack or Trello when deadlines tighten, reducing bottlenecks across operations automation.
Schedule change dashboards
Build live dashboards in Google Sheets from schedule changes and work order data, so business owners can spot risks faster.
How it works
Manufacturing operations automation connects your tools, detects production changes and quality issues, and triggers workflows automatically. Track schedules, work orders, and supplier updates in real time—without manually chasing status or logging changes.

Connect your tools
Integrate platforms like NetSuite, monday.com, Airtable, ERP systems, and quality tools to centralize operations data.
Step 2
Define triggers
Set conditions for schedule changes, quality failures, supplier delays, work order updates, or inventory gaps.
Step 3
Automate & measure
Send alerts, create tasks, update records, and continuously track production efficiency improvements automatically.
