Top 5 Example Use Cases
1. Manage your inbox without lifting a finger
Prompt:
“Archive all emails from LinkedIn this month, label them as ‘Networking’, and auto‑reply: ‘Thanks, I’ll get back to you soon.’”
The AI identifies the criteria, formats the instruction, and Zapier handles the full automation in Gmail — including filtering, labeling, and sending a templated reply.
2. Auto‑summarize meetings and sync to Notion + Email
Prompt:
“Summarize this uploaded transcript, save it in Notion under ‘Client Calls’, and email the summary to the product team.”
Once the AI generates a summary, Zapier simultaneously creates a Notion page and sends an email to the specified recipients — no copy-paste, no manual steps.
3. Clean up Google Drive or Dropbox automatically
Prompt:
“Move all PDFs from ‘Temp Uploads’ older than 7 days to the ‘Archive 2024’ folder.”
AI determines intent and Zapier scans your folder, applies filters, and moves files in bulk. Useful for creators, legal teams, or anyone dealing with large doc volumes.
4. Route customer messages from chat to the right team
Prompt:
“If a user says anything related to billing, forward their message to #billing‑support on Slack. If it’s urgent, ping directly.”
TypingMind classifies the topic via AI, and Zapier handles the routing logic. You can also auto‑create tickets in tools like Zendesk or Intercom.
5. Capture structured data from conversations into Airtable
Prompt:
“Log this feedback: User – Janet, Feature – Dark mode, Sentiment – Positive, Request – Make it default.”
AI parses the chat, structures the data, and Zapier adds it as a new row in Airtable or Google Sheets. Ideal for research, product, or support use cases.
