1.Monitors matching approval emails
Integrate Gmail and email triage tools to watch for new matching approval emails and capture context for routing.
Post app approvals to engineering channel for releases
Automatically monitor approval emails across Gmail and Slack. Send instant channel alerts when approval messages match your search, or release approvals received—so you can triage releases, update processed status, and scope each discussion without manual triage.
How this automation accelerates release approvals
When approval emails arrive, delays can stall releases and overload release managers with manual triage. This automation captures approval email details, posts contextual alerts to Slack, and marks the email as processed—so your team can respond fast.

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.
