Integrate Schedule by Zapier and scheduling tools to wait for the next hourly run and start retention cleanup calculations.
When the hourly trigger fires every hour at :15 past the hour, stale rows can accumulate and slow down searches. This automation calculates the retention cutoff, finds old records, and deletes them in batchesβso your team can keep datasets compact and compliant.

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.
