1.Detects button click record
Integrate Zapier Tables and table workflows to capture the record id and start fields needed to begin instance provisioning.
Start cloud instance from table record and log
Automatically detect table button clicks and capture record ids across Zapier Tables. Create and update when instance start results return from Amazon EC2 when table button clicked, record id provided, or environment submitted—so you can start provisioning, update statuses, and keep engineers informed without manual status tracking.
How this automation accelerates your instance provisioning
When a table button is clicked, provisioning requests can stall while engineers wait for manual startup checks. This automation finds the mapped environment, starts the cloud instance, and updates the record status—so your team can spot progress immediately.

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.
