1.Runs hourly follow-up scan
Integrate Schedule by Zapier and time-based triggers to start the automation and fetch due outreach records.
Send follow-up DMs from outreach sequences to prospects
Automatically monitor the every hour schedule across Schedule by Zapier, Code by Zapier, and Webhooks by Zapier. Create and update when hourly tick, follow-up window opens, or overdue scan runsβso you can prioritize replies, send contextual DMs, and update next follow-up without manual follow-up.
How this automation accelerates your follow-up
When the every hour schedule runs and overdue outreach waits, leads can go stale. This automation queries outreach records, decides send or do-not-send with AI, and sends DMs and updates follow-up datesβso your team can follow up at the right moment.

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
