1.Runs on a daily schedule
Integrate Schedule by Zapier and scheduling tools to trigger the daily inbox scan automatically.
Create editorial calendar events from starred news emails

How this automation accelerates editorial triage
When the 9:45 AM schedule run fires, inbox stories can pile up and slow day to day planning. This automation searches starred emails, parses and scores each item, and creates all day Google Calendar eventsβso your team can spot what to assign faster.

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.
Rishi Shah, CEO and Co-Founder
We don't just want to patch holes; we want to build scalable, future-proof systems. Zapier is helping us do that.
