1.Monitors event start
Integrate Google Calendar and scheduling tools to read the event that starts and map event summary to the captain username.
Announce production captain and update roster for on-call
Automatically monitor production captain event starts in Google Calendar across Slack, Webhooks by Zapier, and Airtable. Get instant updates when captain shift starts, calendar event begins, or on-call handoff time arrives—so you can add users to the on-call usergroup, post ops announcements, and update roster records without manual coordination.
How this automation protects on-call coverage
When Google Calendar event start happens, handoffs can go unseen and shifts can be misassigned. This automation maps the captain to Slack, updates the usergroup and roster, and posts a channel announcement—so your team sees the right owner immediately.

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 — I think we would have died or fallen back into oblivion.
