Transform your design handoff with Zapier
Zapier helps design professionals bring more structure and speed to design handoff management. Route approvals, update handoff records, and notify stakeholders—and that's just the start.
Approval routing
Keep approvals moving without bottlenecks
Zapier automates approval routing for design handoff management the moment a review is ready. New records in Airtable or Google Sheets can alert reviewers in Slack or Gmail and create follow-up tasks in ClickUp. That means design professionals spend less time chasing feedback and more time shipping work.
Review request alerts
Send review notifications the moment a handoff reaches the next stage, so approvers see what needs action right away in Slack or Gmail.
Approval task creation
Create review tasks automatically in ClickUp or Trello when a design handoff record is marked ready. Everyone knows who owns the next decision without manual follow-up.
Deadline escalation rules
Escalate pending approvals before timelines slip by posting reminders to Slack or sending Gmail nudges after a set delay. Teams catch stalled handoffs early.
Stakeholder reminder flows
Prompt internal stakeholders to review assets on schedule with timed reminders tied to handoff status changes. This keeps management automation consistent across every project.
Approval trail logging
Record each approval decision in Airtable or Google Sheets as it happens, creating a reliable handoff history for design professionals and partners.
