1.Catches inbound call-back payloads
Integrate Webhooks by Zapier and data mapping tools to parse inbound payloads and map message fields into the workflow.
Route call-back requests to on-duty agents and team channel
Automatically catch incoming call-back requests across Webhooks by Zapier, Formatter by Zapier, Zendesk, Looping by Zapier, and Slack. Route messages when email extraction succeeds, ticket comments contain a call-back note, or no agent match existsβso you can send direct replies, post to a fallback channel, and avoid manual triage without paperwork.
How this automation routes callback requests to the right agent
When incoming call-back requests arrive, delays can cause missed responses and angry customers. This automation monitors callback payloads, extracts emails, and routes Slack messages based on agent matchβso your team can respond without manual triage.

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.
