Zapier

Missed our webinar this week on AI agents & workflows? 👀 Check out this demo on AI by Zapier from Noah Manger. Some major updates to highlight: - Perfect your prompts with an all-new prompt builder assistant! This includes pre-built templates for quick actions, side-by-side testing, smart output fields, prompt versions, and saved prompts. All of this helps you get to the perfect prompt faster so you can get the exact output you need from the AI. - Bring Your Own Key: You choose the provider and model you prefer - or the one that's approved by your company - whether it's a GPT model, Anthropic, Gemini, or Azure OpenAI. - If you don't want to pay for your own API key, you can use GPT 4o-mini, or either of the Gemini 2.0 Flash models for free. (Note that when we say "free", we mean that Zapier pays for your AI model, but the AI by Zapier step does count towards regular tasks!)

🫠 Me, writing cold outreach emails manually: "This is fine." 💅 Also me, after automating the entire process with AI: “Why was I living like that?” I built a Zap that does the whole handoff from marketing to sales the moment a target account downloads one of our assets. Here’s what it does: ✅ Detects engagement (thank you, forms) ✅ Looks up the asset and pulls relevant context ✅ Uses ChatGPT to research the lead (including their LinkedIn!) ✅ Generates a personalized 100-word email ✅ Notifies the assigned rep in Slack ✅ Updates HubSpot with all the details ✅ Logs everything for tracking In other words, it’s my “I’m too tired to write another email” assistant. And it works. 🎥 Check out the demo of the workflow ⚡ Steal this workflow with our template: https://bit.ly/4k8AFAW Thanks to HubSpot OpenAI Slack Zapier for making me look 10x more productive than I really am 😈

Every campaign Zapier produced last year just won a Telly Award. That's FIVE awards in total. 🥇 🥇 The Magical Life of Machines: Two gold for art direction and set design 🥈 Zap for Zap: Silver for comedy 🥈 Zap AI in a Can: Silver for comedy 🥉 Enterprise Psychic: Bronze for B2B campaigns When I joined Zapier 2.5 years ago, brand marketing was still finding its footing. We hadn’t built a motion for creative storytelling. We'd never done experiential. But we had ambition of what our brand should become. Since then, we’ve built something I’m deeply proud of: 💖 Campaigns that center on customer challenges. 🧨 Ideas that break the B2B mold. 💥 And a brand that’s bold enough to be remembered. These awards aren’t the goal. But they're a signal that brand matters—and that great things happen when you bet on creative. Endless gratitude to Sadie Hochfield, Maeve McGeorge, Joe Montefusco, Ashley Hadeed, Ericke Tan, Talia Rose, and our incredible partners at Strange Family Studios.
