Zapier Automates: Get More Done!
We love Zapier at Digital Powersports! Zapier automates steps in nearly every business function we have. We’ve even integrated its functionality into the TRADE CYCLE platform so it can fire off a “Zap” when the dealerships we service has a new lead.
Zapier gives you the ability to link your favorite apps so they can share data and quickly build processes to automate your tasks. Hundreds of companies already use Zapier, such as FOX, Adobe, Spotify and BuzzFeed; and here’s a few reasons we think you should too!
Some Time-Saving Zaps
Have the lead’s name and email automatically subscribed to a specific MailChimp or Constant Contact mailing list.
Post to Twitter/Facebook/Instagram/RSS/Tumblr that you just received a lead on a used bike to sell; ex. “Someone just came to us to trade their Harley Street 750… anyone interested?”
Create a Google Calendar entry to follow-up with the lead in 1 day, 3 days, 5, 10, 15 & 30 days.
“Digital PowerSports uses Zapier with 20+ Apps, performing over 200 tasks per week, saving us over 22 man-hours per month.”

And here’s a few more ideas:
- When a lead is received, insert it into a Google Spreadsheet for later analysis
- Use the Twilio link to send a text message to your Sales Manager that a lead has been received
- Send a survey from TypeForm to see how their customer experience was
- Tie your CRM solution into your mailings, calendars and/or surveys
- Record Won Opportunities into your accounting system
- Post event reminders based onto social media automatically
Any other ideas? We’d love to hear ’em!
