1.Detect calendar event starts
Integrate Google Calendar and calendar automation tools to capture qualifying event starts for due-date and owner mapping.
Create recurring SSO work items from calendar event starts
Automatically detect event starts across Google Calendar and map them to your task intake workflow. Create and update work items when calendar events match your configured keyword, fall within your lookahead window, or include attendee detailsβso you can assign owners, standardize due dates, and log intake outcomes without manual intake.
How this automation creates recurring work items
When calendar event starts get missed or entered inconsistently, coordinators lose time to manual intake and assignment. This automation monitors event starts and posts intake payloads and logs response IDsβso your team can deliver standardized work items before each scheduled start.

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.
