1.Detect new CSV file in folder
Integrate Google Drive and file storage to detect a new guest list CSV for downstream invite processing.
Send participant invites from uploaded CSV guest list
Automatically monitor new participant CSV files in Google Drive folders for user research management workflows across Google Drive and Gmail. Automatically send invitation emails when CSV file added, guest list uploaded, or files dropped into the folderβso you can parse recipients, personalize invites, and start bookings without manual copy-and-paste invites.
How this automation schedules research sessions faster
When a new participant CSV file is added to your Google Drive folder, invitations can stall and sessions can go unfilled. This automation parses recipient rows and iterates each invite, then sends booking emails through Gmailβso your team can fill sessions without manual copy-and-paste.

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
