Transform your cold email marketing with Zapier
Zapier helps you build a more reliable cold email automation system for modern outbound marketing. Capture new prospects, personalize cold emails, and route replies and that's just the start.
Prospect capture
Keep new prospects moving into outreach
Capture inbound and sourced prospects the moment they enter your pipeline. Zapier moves lead data from Facebook Lead Ads, Google Forms, and Google Sheets into outreach tools and CRM records. Your cold email marketing starts faster with cleaner lists and fewer handoffs.

Lead source capture
Send new leads from forms, ads, or spreadsheets into your cold email workflow the moment they appear. That keeps prospecting volume high without manual imports.
Prospect list routing
Route each new contact to the right table, sequence, or owner based on source, company, or segment. Your team avoids sorting lists by hand before outreach begins.
CRM record creation
Create contact and company records in HubSpot, Salesforce, or Pipedrive as soon as a prospect is approved for outreach. That gives marketing a clean starting point for campaign tracking.
Form-based prospect intake
Collect outbound requests through Google Forms and send them straight into Airtable or Google Sheets with the fields already mapped. Intake stays organized from the first step.
Sheet-driven list updates
Watch Google Sheets for new rows and push approved prospects into your outreach flow automatically. Marketers can build lists collaboratively without slowing campaign setup.
