1.Detect event start and captain indicator
Integrate Google Calendar and calendar tools to detect the configured event start and map the captain indicator for captain assignment.
When captain assignments live only in calendars, teams miss the update and confusion spreads fast. This automation monitors event starts and routes only captain-tagged events, then updates Slack usergroups, posts channel messages, and updates Airtable roster recordsβso your team can act on assignments immediately.
Integrate Google Calendar and calendar tools to detect the configured event start and map the captain indicator for captain assignment.

Integrate Airtable and roster databases to find the team row and update captain fields with the timestamp and display name.

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
