The Computer Resource Consulting (CRC) team at Stanford University uses the app automation tool Zapier to streamline their workflows, increasing efficiency and reducing time spent on manual tasks. By creating a team-wide competition called ZapAttack, they encouraged each other to explore and learn Zapier, resulting in innovative solutions like Philip Bailey's text notification Zap for new appointments, and Stephanie Ricardez's automatic inventory level notifications. These Zaps demonstrate the potential of Zapier to automate repetitive tasks, filter information, and improve productivity, with significant time savings reported by the CRC team, including two to three minutes per ticket on over 22,000 tickets a year.
