Transform your employee recognition with Zapier
Bring more consistency and visibility to employee recognition with Zapier automation. Route recognition nominations, track reward activity, and celebrate milestones automaticallyβand that's just the start.
Nomination routing
Recognition requests reach the right people faster
Zapier automates how employee recognition nominations are collected, sorted, and assigned for review. Submissions from Typeform, Wufoo, or Gmail can route into Airtable, monday.com, or Slack with the right employee details attached. That means HR can act quickly without inbox triage or manual logging.
Recognition intake flows
Capture employee recognition submissions from forms or email and send them straight to the right review queue. HR gets clean, structured requests instead of scattered messages.
Approval routing rules
Route each nomination based on team, manager, or program type so the right approver sees it first. That keeps recognition automation moving without manual reassignment.
Manager review alerts
Notify managers in Slack or Microsoft Teams the moment a nomination needs attention. Faster visibility helps recognition happen while the moment still feels fresh.
Form-to-record capture
Turn every Typeform or Wufoo submission into a structured record in Airtable or Google Sheets. You avoid copy-paste work and keep reporting-ready data from the start.
Priority nomination tagging
Flag high-impact recognition based on keywords, department, or award category and route it for faster follow-up. Important moments get extra visibility without extra admin work.
