1.Triggers the daily purge job
Integrate Schedule by Zapier and job scheduling tools to start a daily run for offboarding removals.
Purge terminated staff from external directory every day
Automatically run a daily purge job across Webhooks by Zapier and external user-directory APIs when the scheduled run fires. Create and update when termination dates pass—so you can remove or disable users, keep directory access aligned, and reduce directory cleanup without manual directory checks.
How this automation purges terminated staff access
When the daily schedule fires, delayed removals can leave terminated staff with lingering access in external systems. This automation obtains an HR access token, fetches recent end-date employees, and removes or disables matching users—so your team keeps systems aligned without manual cleanup.

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.
