Request routing
Get every benefits request to the right owner
Route benefits administration requests the moment employees submit them. Zapier can send Jotform submissions, Gmail messages, or Zendesk tickets into Airtable, monday.com, or Pipefy with the right context attached. That means fewer missed requests and faster employee support.
Employee request intake
Capture benefits questions from Jotform, Gmail, or Microsoft Outlook and send them to the right queue right away. HR gets cleaner intake and faster follow-up.
Smart case routing
Route each request by benefit type, urgency, or employee status so the right HR professional sees it first. That cuts triage time and keeps requests moving.
Inbox to tracker
Turn incoming benefits emails into tracked items in Airtable, Google Sheets, or monday.com. Nothing gets buried in an inbox or missed during busy periods.
Team escalation alerts
Notify Slack or Microsoft Teams when a request needs quick review or crosses a deadline. Escalations happen on time without manual checking.
