1.Detect event updates
Integrate Google Calendar, calendar monitoring tools, and scheduling workflows to detect event updates and start buffer setup.
Add 30-minute buffers after sales meetings for reps
Automatically monitor sales meeting updates across Google Calendar. Create and manage 30-minute post-meeting buffers when meeting updated, meeting type changes, or non-cancelled statusβso you can remove duplicates, create follow-up blocks, and avoid manual scheduling paperwork without manual follow-up coordination.
How this automation protects your follow-up time
When sales meeting updates come in, missed buffers can shrink follow-up time and create scheduling churn. This automation filters qualifying meetings, routes by meeting type, and overwrites organizer buffersβso your team has guaranteed post-meeting time.

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.
