1.Detect record button clicked
Integrate Zapier Tables and case record views to capture the record id, case title, case notes, party groups, and mediator contacts to trigger outreach.
Send mediation request email, update case record status
Automatically monitor mediation case records across Zapier Tables. Send mediation emails and update case records when record button clicked, case flagged for mediation, or mediator contact is missingβso you can deliver consolidated parties details, send mediator messages, and mark in-process status without manual case-status chasing.
How this automation speeds up mediation request follow-up
When a mediation case request waits on manual outreach, delays can stall coordination and case progress. This automation builds a consolidated parties block, sends the mediator email, and updates the case record to in-processβso your team can move quickly.

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 β 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.
