Summary

To create automated workflows that can help with manual tasks such as adding event details to calendars, Zapier's workflow automation software can be used. With Zapier, users can create Zaps that send information from one app to another without coding knowledge required. A template can be used to get started, and then customized to meet specific needs. The process involves creating a Google Sheet with event details, setting up the trigger which sends data from the sheet to Zapier, and then mapping the data to an action in Microsoft Outlook that creates a new calendar event. The resulting automation allows for faster creation of events without sharing calendars or coordinating tasks, making it a useful tool for teams or individuals who frequently plan events or manage calendars.
