1.Monitor event start
Integrate Google Calendar and calendar tools to capture the original meeting event and core metadata.
Create mirrored prep events for upcoming team meetings

Create and update prep entries when meetings begin, when prep blocks are missing, or when a prep time needs shifting—so you can create prep events, assign owners, and avoid duplicate prep work without manual coordination.
How this automation schedules prep coverage for meetings
When a meeting start event hits the calendar, prep can get missed and teams show up unready. This automation watches event start, checks for matching prep entries, and creates prep events with owners—so you can plan preparation without chasing calendars.

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.
Marcelo Lebre, Co-Founder
Zapier hilft uns, weit über 50% mehr Deals abzuschließen, als wir es ohne Zapier tun würden. Es ist ein Schlüsselelement unserer Gesamtstrategie und somit auch unseres Verkaufsarguments.
