1.Monitors inbound carrier emails
Integrate Gmail and email parsing tools to detect inbound carrier messages, passing subject, body, and received time to the workflow.
Update equipment return records from inbound carrier emails
Automatically monitor inbound carrier emails across Gmail. Parse tracking and return status and create and update equipment return records in Airtable—so you can keep the IT returns table current without manual record updates. Get instant accuracy when carrier emails arrive, labeled return messages arrive, or tracking emails match the label—so you can update statuses, map requesters, and refresh return dates without spreadsheet drift.
How this automation keeps equipment returns records current
When carrier return details arrive by email, delays cause the IT returns table to go stale and statuses to drift. This automation parses email content, finds matching returns records, and creates or updates equipment return entries—so your team can maintain up-to-date return data.

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 — 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.
Rishi Shah, CEO and Co-Founder
We don't just want to patch holes; we want to build scalable, future-proof systems. Zapier is helping us do that.
