Streamlining Workflows with Zapier: Automating Slack, Google Forms & More!

Introduction
Managing tasks across multiple platforms can be overwhelming. Fortunately, Zapier bridges the gap between different apps by automating workflows—saving time and reducing manual effort. In this post, I’ll share how I used Zapier to integrate Slack, Google Forms, and ClickUp for efficient automation.

Recently Updated Zaps
Here are some of the key automations (Zaps) I set up:

Zaps on Zocs Slack
Integration: Google Drive → Slack

Function: Automatically sends a Slack notification when a new file is added to a shared Google Drive folder.

Impact: Improved team collaboration and instant updates on shared files.

Send Thank-You Email for Google Forms Responses
Integration: Google Forms → Gmail

Function: When a user submits a response in Google Forms, an automated thank-you email is sent via Gmail.

Impact: Saves time on manual responses and enhances user engagement.

Kanban Updates
Integration: ClickUp → Slack

Function: Notifies the team in Slack when a task is moved between statuses in ClickUp’s Kanban board.

Impact: Ensures real-time updates on project progress.
