Real-Life Examples of Zapier in Action

Here are some real-world scenarios where Posh customers have used Zapier to automate their workflows:

1. Streamlining CRM Updates:
   A law firm using HubSpot wanted to eliminate the tedious task of manually entering caller details into their CRM. With Zapier, they set up a workflow that automatically uploads the caller’s name, number, and email into HubSpot whenever a new message is received. The call notes are also added to the contact’s record, saving hours of admin work each week.
2. Automating Lead Management:
   A firm handling a high volume of new inquiries used Zapier to integrate Posh with Salesforce. Now, every time a new lead comes in, the details are automatically added to Salesforce. The sales team can quickly search for the caller’s name and access all the information they need without manual data entry.
3. Simplifying Google Sheets Updates:
   One firm used Google Sheets to track leads from their website’s contact form. With Zapier, they created a workflow that generates a new task for Posh receptionists to call the lead. After the call, the outcome is automatically updated in the Google Sheet, eliminating the need for back-and-forth emails.
4. Secure Team Notifications:
   A firm receiving Posh messages in a shared email inbox wanted a more secure way to notify team members. By integrating Posh with Telegram via Zapier, they now send messages directly to the appropriate team member’s Telegram account, ensuring the right person gets the information quickly and securely.
