Summary

As a fully distributed team at Zapier, the company has mastered the art of communication and collaboration while working remotely by leveraging automation to streamline processes and stay connected. One way they achieve this is by automatically updating their team chat status when they're away from their computer, ensuring everyone knows where to find them. They also use automation to send video meeting links, remind teammates about upcoming events, and even share random GIFs to keep the mood light. By automating these tasks, remote workers can save time, stay connected with colleagues, and build connections even when they're not in the same location.
