Integrate Airtable and spreadsheet database tools to detect a new record in your configured view to kick off referral processing.
Update referral status, draft referrer email, notify team
Automatically detect new referral rows in Airtable across Airtable, Gmail, and Slack. Create and update when matched referrals appear or status needs processingβso you can mark success, draft thank-you emails, and notify the team without manual follow-up.
How this automation protects your referral follow-up
When new referral entries land but stay unprocessed, follow-up delays can reduce conversions and hurt trust. This automation searches Airtable, updates referral records, creates email drafts, and notifies your teamβso your follow-up stays timely and consistent.

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.
Allen Lai, Head of Customer Experience
