1.Triggers every hour at :15
Integrate Schedule by Zapier and scheduling tools to trigger the intake flow on the configured cadence.
Open hourly intake window for vehicle telemetry streams
Automatically open hourly webhook intake windows across Schedule by Zapier, Zapier Manager, and Delay by Zapier to control when vehicle telemetry streams are accepted. Enable and disable the target intake zap during the configured window—so you can batch events for processing and reconciliation without manual IT babysitting.
How this automation protects telemetry intake windows
When the every hour at :15 schedule fires, intake can drift and telemetry batching becomes inconsistent. This automation opens the intake window by enabling the target zap, delays to collect events, and then disables the intake listener—so your team can reconcile batches reliably.

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.

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.
