1.Detect new purchase record
Integrate Airtable and record triggers to detect a new property purchase record for processing.
Create key dates PDF for new property purchase
Automatically monitor new purchase records in Airtable and prepare key date PDFs across document templates, Drive storage, and team alerts. Create and update key date PDFs when purchase records qualify, state-specific templates match, or new date fields are formattedβso you can generate PDFs, update record attachments, and notify your team without manual paperwork.
How this automation protects key date document workflows
When a new purchase record lands without automation, key dates can stall in inboxes and updates get delayed. This automation formats date fields, creates state-specific PDFs, uploads them to Drive, updates the Airtable attachment, and alerts your teamβso your team can respond 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.
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.
