1.Captures record button click details
Integrate Zapier Tables and record context mapping to capture the record ID and key instance identifier to start enrichment.
Update cloud instance records with live instance details
Automatically monitor enrichment button clicks across Zapier Tables and cloud lookups. Enrich instance records when instance record clicked, enrichment button pressed, or instance identifier selected—so you can map live state, normalize hostnames, and update inventory without manual reconciliation.
How this automation protects your cloud inventory
When an instance record needs refreshing, stale state and host identifiers can create outages and messy inventory. This automation looks up live cloud instance details, transforms hostnames, and updates Zapier Tables—so your team can trust current inventory instantly.

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.
