What should I automate with Zapier?

Streamlining Email Management

Email is one of the most common forms of communication in today's digital age. However, managing emails can be quite time-consuming but can be streamlined with Zapier. One way you can do this is by using Zapier to automatically sort emails and add labels to them. This can be especially useful for managing emails from different clients, projects, or departments.

Another way to automate your email management is by setting up a Zapier automation to send pre-set email responses. This can be beneficial for dealing with common inquiries or requests, saving you the time of typing out the same emails over and over. Overall, automating email management can drastically reduce the time you spend navigating your inbox and allow you more time to focus on more pressing tasks.

Automating Project Management Tasks

Project management involves a lot of moving pieces and staying on top of everything can be a challenge. With Zapier, you can automate a variety of project management tasks that can help you keep track of everything and ensure nothing falls through the cracks. For instance, you can create a Zap that adds new tasks to your project management tool whenever you receive a certain type of email.

Additionally, you can automate project updates. Create a Zap that sends out weekly project updates to your team or stakeholders to ensure everyone is on the same page. This keeps everyone informed without having to manually compile and send these updates yourself. Through automating project management tasks, you can ensure a smoother, more efficient workflow for your teams and projects.

Efficient Customer Relationship Management

Critical to any business is effective customer relationship management (CRM). Zapier can supercharge this aspect of your business through automation. For example, automate the process of adding new contacts to your CRM. Whenever you get a new email from a potential client or customer, a Zap can automatically extract the contact information and add it to your CRM.

You can also automate follow-ups with Zapier. If a potential client fills out a form on your website, say for more information or a product demo, you can create a Zap that automatically sends them a follow up email after a certain period. This ensures none of your leads are forgotten and helps you maintain a consistent communication with your customers. In summary, automating your CRM can ease the burden of manual data entry, reduce human error, and ensure a timely and consistent communication with your customers, ultimately enhancing your customer relations and potentially boosting your sales.
