Summary

This content team at Slack increased its publishing frequency to multiple pieces each day across various channels after growing from two members to over a dozen, with the help of automating their transcript process using Zapier and Rev. The team previously spent 10 minutes or so on manual steps such as finding emails from Rev, logging in, downloading, converting, and sharing files, which was tedious and created a bottleneck. By creating a three-step Zap that automatically uploads videos to Rev, converts transcripts to Google Docs, and sends messages to Slack announcing the ready transcript, the team saved hours of time and eliminated manual tasks, allowing them to work more efficiently and freeing up time for other tasks. The Zapier workflow requires a paid plan and can be created in minutes with minimal testing, making it a valuable tool for teams looking to automate repetitive processes and save time.
