1.Triggers hourly credit refill
Integrate Schedule by Zapier and billing schedules to start a top-of-hour run to refill usage credits.
Refill capped usage credits hourly for customer accounts
Automatically monitor hourly usage credit runs across Zapier Tables. Automatically refill and cap credits when hourly run, weekday window, or business-hour window—so you can increment credits, clamp to maximum, and update account records without manual crediting.
How this automation prevents over-crediting
When hourly credit runs happen, delays can cause accounts to keep receiving credits past the intended limit. This automation increments record credits and filters capped values, then updates records to the configured maximum—so your team can prevent over-crediting.

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.
