“It was the June before I entered high school around 2007, and I was extremely insecure about my ears. Not because of kids at school making fun of me, but because my own family just wouldn’t let up on the comments. So, I had cosmetic surgery to make them a little smaller and essentially ‘pin them back.’ They finished the left ear, and everything was fine. Halfway through the right ear, I started moving trying to roll my entire body (head included) over to the left because I was annoyed at whatever was on my right (the doctor doing the surgery), and I was asking, ‘Mom, just like five more minutes of sleep then I’ll get up for school’ and kept the conversation going, asking if she’d make my toast and stuff — a conversation we had five mornings a week when she would wake me for school.”

“I had an entire conversation with the female nurse who was responding as my mom while the doctor (who apparently never had a patient wake before) was yelling at them to hold me still better. I remember it all, including someone who was by my feet being told to come up by my head and help hold me without touching the left ear or letting it be flat on the table. I woke up in recovery and told them I had the weirdest dream and everything that happened. The nursing student who was in the room was assigned to sit with me in my recovery. She and my mom had blank looks at each other for a few moments then the nurse said, ‘So, you’re aware of waking up and talking to us?’ And my mom laughed and said, ‘Only you would wake up and talk during a surgery. It’s like you don’t talk enough when you’re awake — nope, even being put under won’t do it.’ 

I’ve woken up two other times and have to stress each time I go under that the meds don’t work right on me, so they have to give me relaxers before anything else. When I woke two times after, I didn’t talk but was aware of what was happening and could feel what they were doing but not in a painful manner — just in the pressure sense of what was being touched and some sound.”

Imagine a world where your event promotion runs almost on autopilot, where you can easily and automatically create messages tailored perfectly for each platform. Wouldn’t that be better than spending hours manually crafting bespoke messages, scheduling timely posts, and juggling between tools? 

With Zapier and ChatGPT, we can reduce what used to take hours down to less than 10 minutes. In this tutorial we’ll walk you through a step-by-step process to automate your event promotion across Facebook, LinkedIn, and Mailchimp, all while saving you time and effort. 

How it works

For this project, we’ll be using two Zaps to automate our event promotion. In our first Zap, we’ll use OpenAI’s ChatGPT to generate the content for a Facebook post, a LinkedIn post, and an email campaign promoting our event. Once this content is generated, you’ll have a chance to manually review and edit the content before it’s sent. 

Then, in our second Zap, we’ll automatically create and send the Facebook post, LinkedIn post, and email campaign.

Before we begin developing our Zap, you’ll also need an OpenAI account if you don’t already have one. Go to platform.openai.com to sign up for your account. You’ll also need a Facebook Page, a LinkedIn account, and a Mailchimp account. If you use different social and email apps, don’t worry. These same steps will work with any social or email marketing apps that connect with Zapier.

Are you ready to build this yourself? Let’s get started!

Build Zap 1 to generate post and email content

In this first Zap, we’ll be automating the process to generate a Facebook Post, a LinkedIn Post, and an email using ChatGPT. When the Zap runs, ChatGPT will add your social and email posts to Google Sheets, where you can then review them before publishing.

Step 1: Set up your Google Sheets trigger step

To start, you’ll need to create a new Google Sheet that includes all of the relevant details for the events you’ll be promoting. Give your sheet a descriptive name. I called mine Event Promotion. Create 11 columns, with the following names:

1. Event

2. Date

3. Time

4. Location

5. Details

6. Generate Posts

7. Facebook Post

8. LinkedIn Post

9. Email Message

10. Email Subject

11. Send Posts

Fill in the details for an event in the first five columns, by providing the event name, date, time, location, and some descriptive details. For this example, I’m going to be promoting a Zapier ChatGPT webinar. 

Here’s what my Google Sheet looks like with the relevant fields completed:

In the Generate Posts and Send Posts fields, add a checkbox by navigating to Insert > Checkbox in the menu. By using checkboxes, we’ll be able to edit our content until we’re ready, and then use checking the box to trigger our Zap to run. 

Once you have all the details filled in for your event, check the Generate Posts checkbox.

Head over to Zapier, and click the Create Zap button to create a new Zap. 

Search for and select Google Sheets for the trigger app and New or Updated Spreadsheet Row for the trigger event. 

Next, connect your Google account to Zapier, if you haven’t already.

In the Spreadsheet field, search for and select the Event Promotion sheet you just created. Leave Sheet1 in the worksheet field, and select Generate Posts as the trigger column to ensure this Zap is only triggered for changes to that field. Here’s how the trigger will look:

Click Test Trigger, and you should see your event details from the Google Sheet, as shown below:

Step 2: Set up a filter step for the Generate Posts checkbox

Click the + symbol beneath your Google Sheets trigger, then select Filter for the action app. 

In the filter fields, select Generate Posts from your Google Sheets trigger and select the option (Boolean) is true in the filter dropdown:

This filter will ensure this Zap only runs when the Generate Posts checkbox has been checked. Test this action step to ensure the filter is working properly for your record. Next, we’ll work on setting up our prompts to send to ChatGPT.

Step 3: Set up your action to Generate Facebook Posts with ChatGPT

If you haven’t set up your Zapier connection to OpenAI, you’ll have to do that now. To start, head back over to platform.openai.com to log into your account. At the top right of the page, click on your profile icon and click View API Keys:

From that page, click the + Create new secret key button to generate a new API key. You’ll need this key to connect to your OpenAI account within Zapier. Copy this key and store it somewhere safe.

Head back over to Zapier and add a new action step at the bottom of your Zap. Search for the ChatGPT app and choose the Conversation event:

Click on Choose account, and set up a new account by providing the API key you just generated in OpenAI. If you already have set up your account connection, simply select your existing account.

Head to the Action section to build the message we’ll be sending over to OpenAI. In the Message field, copy and paste the following: 

Generate the text for a Facebook post notifying my followers about this event. This post should be brief but compelling and should encourage people to attend the event. 

Event Title: <Map the field Event from your Google Sheets trigger> 

Event Date & Time: <Map the fields Date and Time from your Google Sheets trigger> 

Event Location: <Map the field Location from your Google Sheets trigger> 

Event Details: <Map the field Details from your Google Sheets trigger> 

Replace the bracketed content with the mapped fields from your Google Sheets trigger by selecting those fields from the Insert Data dropdown.

If you have access to the gpt-4 model, select that in the Model dropdown. Otherwise, you can keep gpt-3.5-turbo. Leave all the remaining fields as-is. 

Here’s how your action step should look:

If you want, you can give more specific instructions in the User Message depending on your use case. For example, if you’re using this for work events, you might provide some more context about your company and position that could be helpful for generating the posts and emails. For now, we’ll keep it simple with the message I show above.

Click Test Action to send the message over to ChatGPT. Review the summary and make sure everything looks okay. 

Step 4: Save the generated Facebook Post text to your Google Sheet

Next, we’ll set up the action step that will save the Facebook Post that ChatGPT generated to your Event Promotions Google Sheet.

Add an action step and search for the Google Sheets app. Select the Update Spreadsheet Row event:

Search for and select the Event Promotion spreadsheet again, and in the Row field, select row ID from your Google Sheets trigger from the Insert Data dropdown to ensure you’re adding the generated post to the correct row once you have multiple events in your Google Sheet. 

Your action step will look like this:

Finally, in the Facebook Post field, map the Reply from your ChatGPT action step which contains the generated Facebook Post text:

This will add the generated Facebook Post to your Google Sheet, which you’ll later be able to review before posting.

Next, click Test Action to send the Facebook post text to your Google Sheet and make sure everything is working properly. 

Step 5: Set up your action to Generate LinkedIn Posts with ChatGPT

The process for generating both LinkedIn posts and email messages is very similar to what we just did for the Facebook Post. Let’s start here with the LinkedIn post. 

Add a new action step at the bottom of your Zap. Search for the ChatGPT app and choose the Conversation event:

Next, go to the Action section to build the message we’ll be sending over to OpenAI. In the Message field, copy and paste the following: 

Generate the text for a LinkedIn post notifying my followers about this event. This post should be brief but compelling and should encourage people to attend the event. 

Event Title: <Map the field Event from your Google Sheets trigger> 

Event Date & Time: <Map the fields Date and Time from your Google Sheets trigger> 

Event Location: <Map the field Location from your Google Sheets trigger> 

Event Details: <Map the field Details from your Google Sheets trigger> 

Replace the bracketed content with the mapped fields from your Google Sheets trigger by selecting those fields from the Insert Data dropdown.

As before, if you have access to the gpt-4 model, select that in the Model dropdown. Otherwise, you can keep gpt-3.5-turbo. Leave all the remaining fields as-is. 

Here’s how your action step should look:

Click Test Action to send the message over to ChatGPT. Review the summary and make sure everything looks okay. 

Step 6: Save the generated LinkedIn post text to your Google Sheet

As with the Facebook post, we’ll set up the action step that will save the LinkedIn post that ChatGPT generated to your Event Promotions Google Sheet.

Add an action step and search for the Google Sheets app. Select the Update Spreadsheet Row event:

Search for and select the Event Promotion spreadsheet again and in the Row field, map the row ID from your Google Sheets trigger to ensure you’re adding the generated post to the correct row once you have multiple events in your Google Sheet. Your action step will look like this:

Finally, in the LinkedIn Post field, map the Reply from your ChatGPT action step which contains the generated LinkedIn Post text:

This will add the generated LinkedIn post to your Google Sheet, which you’ll later be able to review before posting.

Next, click Test Action to send the LinkedIn post text to your Google Sheet and make sure everything is working properly. 

Step 7: Set up your action to Generate email messages with ChatGPT

Next, we’ll follow the same process to have ChatGPT generate our promotional email message.

Add a new action step at the bottom of your Zap. Search for the ChatGPT app and choose the Conversation event:

Next, go to the Action section to build the message we’ll be sending over to OpenAI. In the Message field, copy and paste the following: 

Generate the text for an email notifying my followers about this event. This email should be brief but compelling and should encourage people to attend the event. 

Event Title: <Map the field Event from your Google Sheets trigger> 

Event Date & Time: <Map the fields Date and Time from your Google Sheets trigger> 

Event Location: <Map the field Location from your Google Sheets trigger> 

Event Details: <Map the field Details from your Google Sheets trigger> 

Replace the bracketed content with the mapped fields from your Google Sheets trigger by selecting those fields from the Insert Data dropdown.

As before, if you have access to the gpt-4 model, select that in the Model dropdown. Otherwise, you can keep gpt-3.5-turbo. Leave all the remaining fields as-is. 

Here’s how your action step should look:

Click Test Action to send the message over to ChatGPT. Review the summary and make sure everything looks okay. 

Step 8: Save the generated email message text to your Google Sheet

Now we’ll set up the action step that will save the email that ChatGPT generated to your Event Promotions Google Sheet.

Add an action step and search for the Google Sheets app. Select the Update Spreadsheet Row event:

Search for and select the Event Promotion spreadsheet again and in the Row field, map the row ID from your Google Sheets trigger to ensure you’re adding the generated email to the correct row once you have multiple events in your Google Sheet. Your action step will look like this:

Finally, in the Email Message field, map the Reply from your ChatGPT action step which contains the generated Email text:

This will add the generated email to your Google Sheet, which you’ll later be able to review before posting.

Next, click Test Action to send the email text to your Google Sheet and make sure everything is working properly. 

You’ve finished the first Zap, which will automatically generate Facebook and LinkedIn posts, plus an email to promote your events. You should see your Google Sheet populated, similar to this:

At this point, you should manually review and edit the contents in the Facebook Post, LinkedIn Post, and Email Message fields. 

You should also add a subject to the Email Subject field, which ChatGPT has likely already created for you in the Email Message field. Once you’ve finished any edits and you’re ready to send these posts out, check the Send Posts checkbox. 

Now we’re ready to move onto our second Zap!

Creating Zap 2 to send posts and emails

In this second Zap, we will automate the process of sending out our Facebook and LinkedIn posts as well as a Mailchimp campaign. 

Are you ready? Let’s get building!

Step 1: Set up your Google Sheets trigger step

Head back to your Zapier homepage and click the Create Zap button to create a new Zap. 

Search for and select Google Sheets for the trigger app and New or Updated Spreadsheet Row for the trigger event. 

Next, connect your Google account to Zapier, if you haven’t already.

In the Spreadsheet field, search for and select the Event Promotion sheet you just created. Leave Sheet1 in the worksheet field, and select Generate Posts as the trigger column to ensure this Zap is only triggered for changes to that field. 

Here’s how the trigger will look:

Click Test Trigger, and you should see your event details from the Google Sheet, as shown below:

Step 2: Set up a filter step for the Send Posts checkbox

Click the + symbol beneath your Google Sheets trigger, then select Filter for the action app. 

Then select Send Posts from your Google Sheets trigger and select the option (Boolean) is true in the filter dropdown:

This filter will ensure this Zap only runs when the Send Posts checkbox has been checked.

Test this action step to ensure the filter is working properly for your record. Next, we’ll work on automatically posting the results to Facebook, LinkedIn, and Mailchimp.

Step 3: Create a Page post in Facebook Pages

Add a new action step at the bottom of your Zap. Search for the Facebook Pages app and choose the Create Page Post event:

Connect your Facebook account and then select the Facebook Page you want to send your posts to. Click in the Message field, then select Facebook Post from your Google Sheets trigger step from the Insert Data dropdown. 

Your action will look like the following:

Test your action to make sure everything is working properly. If you navigate to your Facebook Page, you should see a new post advertising your event, similar to the one that I have below:

Step 4: Create a Company Update in LinkedIn

Add a new action step at the bottom of your Zap. Search for the LinkedIn app and choose the Create Company Update event:

Connect your LinkedIn account and then select the LinkedIn Company Page you want to send your posts to. In the Update Content field, map the LinkedIn Post from your Google Sheets trigger step. Your action will look like the following:

Test your action to make sure everything is working properly. If you navigate to your LinkedIn Company Page, you should see a new post advertising your event, similar to the one that I have below:

Step 5: Create a campaign in Mailchimp

Next, we’ll automate the process of sending our email to our audience in Mailchimp. This will require 2 steps. First, we’ll have to create a new Campaign in Mailchimp, where we’ll select our audience and build our email. Second, we’ll tell Mailchimp to send the email Campaign we’ve just created.

Add a new action step at the bottom of your Zap. Search for the Mailchimp app and choose the Create Campaign event:

Connect your Mailchimp account. In the Campaign field, map the Event name from your Google Sheet trigger step. 

In the Audience field, select the Mailchimp audience you’re targeting for this event. 

In the Email Subject field, map the Email Subject from your Google Sheet trigger step. Fill in the From Name and From Email Address fields with your name and email. Finally, in the Email Content (HTML) field, map the Email Message from your Google Sheet trigger step. Your action step will look like this:

Test your action to make sure everything is working properly.

Step 6: Send a campaign in Mailchimp

Finally, we’ll send out our email Campaign via Mailchimp. Add a new action step at the bottom of your Zap. Search for the Mailchimp app and choose the Send Campaign event:

In the Campaign field, map the ID from your prior Mailchimp action step, which corresponds to the email Campaign you just created.

Finally, test your action to make sure everything is working properly. 

If you navigate to your email, you should see a new message advertising your event. If everything looks correct, you’re ready to publish your Zaps!

You now have a process that you can use to automatically generate and send Facebook posts, LinkedIn posts, and Mailchimp email campaigns to promote your upcoming events! 

Here’s how you can work this process end-to-end:

1. Fill in the relevant details for your event in the Event, Date, Time, Location, and Details columns of your Google Sheet

2. Check the Generate Posts checkbox. Your first Zap should now trigger and automatically add the ChatGPT posts to the Facebook Post, LinkedIn Post, and Email Message fields in your spreadsheet.

3. Edit the posts and email messages and add your Email Subject.

4. Check the Send Posts checkbox. Your second Zap should now trigger and automatically send your edited posts to your Facebook Page, LinkedIn Company Page, and Mailchimp audience.

With this process, what may have previously taken you a few hours of work you’ve now condensed down to only the couple of minutes it takes to fill in your Google Sheet and make quick edits to the content that ChatGPT generated. Now get out there and promote your events!

The allegations by Vishal on CBFC (Central Board of Film Certification) have opened a can of worms. On the evening of September 28, the actor-producer claimed that he had to pay Rs. 6.50 lakhs to clear the Hindi version of his film, Mark Antony. His post went viral since the allegations were extreme. The matter became so serious that the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting had to send an official immediately to conduct an inquiry.

EXCLUSIVE: Mark Antony actor-producer Vishal’s corruption-in-CBFC claims opens up a can of worms; producer of Kay Kay Menon-starrer Love All says he had to pay Rs. 5 lakhs to get his film cleared

Meanwhile, Bollywood Hungama exclusively spoke to a producer, Ramesh Vyas, who claimed that he also had to cough up money to clear his sports film, Love All. Starring Kay Kay Menon, it was released in cinemas on September 1.

Ramesh Vyas told us, “I had to pay Rs. 5 lakhs to get the certificate in 5 languages. Even then, I got the certificate for 2 regional versions 2 days after the release of the film.”

He added, “I have got many films censored. This has happened recently. I applied for a censor certificate in 8 languages. After getting the certificate for 5 languages, I was asked to pay again. Kahan se dunga main paisa? I declined and I haven’t got the certificate yet.”

Ramesh Vyas continued, “My second film, Ronny, made in Kannada, hasn’t been censored yet. I got three dates, all of which got cancelled. Mere se cash ki demand ki thi. Maine bola ki main nahin dunga.”

He elaborated, “They asked for Rs. 3.50 lakhs. I refused to pay. The status on the online portal states that the application is under process. I mailed them and even sent them the creative, which bears the release date of the film. Yet, I am yet to hear from them. I’ll now announce the new release date only after I get the certificate in my hand.”

Bollywood Hungama then spoke to Sanjay Singh, who got Love All censored. He dismissed the corruption claims, “These are baseless allegations. We followed all the rules and regulations. Hum aise chakkaron se dus kadam door hi rehte hai. What Vishal ji said is his personal matter and experience. For Love All, we went through the official route, and everything is under record.”

He also added, “I am not a Censor agent. We helped the makers with the Censor process as a friendly gesture.”

Ex-chairperson appeals to PM

Pahlaj Nihalani, who was the chairperson of the CBFC before Prasoon Joshi took over in August 2017, told Bollywood Hungama that he has been aware of the illegal activities happening in CBFC, “It has been happening for a long time. But I appreciate Vishal’s courage. He has taken up the issue. Nobody else dared to openly say that there exists corruption. The chairman is not attending office. He has handed over the responsibility to the CEO. The CEO should not be the one watching a movie. He can only oversee the administration and nothing else. It’s the chairman who has to watch a film. But if he’s unable to do so, why did he even accept the position in the first place?”

He stated, “The industry is suffering due to the CBFC’s corruption. He (Prasoon Joshi) is also a part of the industry. He should take care of the industry’s interests and provide a corruption-free environment in the CBFC office.”

When asked why no one raised their voice against these practices, Pahlaj replied, “Who’s going to talk? So much is at stake. You lose crores of money if your film gets delayed even by a week. I salute Vishal. We should learn the lesson from him and openly talk about their problems.”

Pahlaj Nihalani is saddened that so many people from the industry slammed him during his tenure, “When things were moving right (in my tenure), so much noise was made. And now when the corruption is happening in CBFC, the industry members are quiet. Ours is a weird industry!”

He proudly said, “During my tenure, there was not a single film that had to cancel the release due to the Censor process. Some regional films of Gujarati and South industry had to be cancelled this week for not getting the certificate on time.”

He even appealed to the Prime Minister Narendra Modi, “When Mr Narendra Modi became the Prime Minister, he famously said, ‘Na khaunga. Na khaane dunga’. Lekin CBFC mein khule aam corruption ho raha hai aur koi awaaz nahin utha raha hai.”

Ex-CBFC member speaks up

Trade analyst Atul Mohan, who was once a member of the CBFC, said that it’s not fair to paint the whole CBFC staff with one brush, “CBFC mein acche log hai. If your film is stuck and if you apprise them of the situation, they’ll clear it, especially if the delay is due to some technical reason.”

He continued, “There’s an online system in place. You don’t need anyone. Lekin desperate situation ka faayda uthaya jaata hai.” He jokingly remarked, “I was just thinking last night. I must have cleared 40-50 films during my tenure at CBFC. Had I asked for Rs. 5 lakhs for each movie, I would have had Rs. 2-3 crores in my kitty!”

Atul Mohan was all praises for Pahlaj Nihalani, “This never happened in his time. He was the first one jinhone poore system mein kachra saaf kiya. He didn’t even allow agents in the building. Once Prasoon Joshi became the chairperson, the agents were back in the office.”

The other side

Bollywood Hungama tried contacting Prasoon Joshi and he was unavailable for comment. CBFC CEO Ravinder Bhakar replied to our message with a press release. Excerpts from this release are as follows:

“With the implementation of aggressive digitization, complete process automation, and emphasis on minimal human intervention, the interference of intermediaries/agents has come down significantly. However, the practice still exists in some regions which is defeating the purpose of transparency and smooth functioning of the certification process.  Please do not deal with any intermediary or third-party agent. The producers/filmmakers are further cautioned that they should not encourage any third-party agents/ intermediaries. On the contrary, if any third party is claiming they represent CBFC and are demanding any sum of amount, please report it immediately to CBFC. Strictest action will be taken against anyone found involved and we shall get into the root cause.

On the other hand, a section of the industry has stated that they haven’t come across any such demand for bribes from the CBFC members or agents. Actor-producer Jackky Bhagnani told ANI, “I have never faced such an experience. I have not even heard what he has said. so, I would not like to comment on it.”

Denzil Dias of Warner Bros wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “As a representative of @WarnerBrosIndia and @UniversalIND, I can confidently state that @CBFC_India and @MIB_India have been absolutely fair & transparent in all their dealings. We have released 20 films to date and have not faced any corruption or delay.”

Throwback: When the CBFC CEO got arrested for bribery

The Mark Antony bribe row immediately brought back memories of Rakesh Kumar, who was arrested for accepting Rs. 70,000 to clear a film named Mor Dauki Ke Bihav in August 2014. A former official of the Indian Railways, his interview to Mumbai Mirror dated January 16, 2014, had gone viral, especially his quote that “I seriously don’t think Ranbir Kapoor should have shown his middle finger and bared his butt in Besharam (2013). I also felt that given his reputation, Aamir Khan shouldn’t have produced a cuss-loaded film like Delhi Belly (2011).”

During this time, it was reported that Rohit Shetty had to visit Rakesh Kumar’s residence in Colaba, Mumbai to request him to clear Ajay Devgn-starrer Singham Returns (2014) in time. Reportedly, Kick’s (2014) producer and director Sajid Nadiadwala had to call Kumar after the certification process of the Salman Khan-starrer was delayed.

There are plenty of ways to use GitHub: the website, the app, or the terminal. The terminal is the best way to sync local projects to a GitHub repository, and once you learn the basics, you’ll be able to push local projects to remote GitHub repositories in seconds.

Here’s how to push to GitHub.

What does it mean to push to GitHub?

Pushing to GitHub means uploading files to or updating existing files in a GitHub repository.

Let’s say you just created a new public repository for a project and you want to upload all your files to it. To do that, you would push your files to GitHub. Or maybe you’re continually working on a project from a private GitHub repository for your company, and you want to upload the latest changes that you’ve made. That would also require you to push the changes to GitHub.

In other words, pushing to GitHub is a secure and convenient way to upload local files to a remote repository. 

How to push to GitHub

Before we continue, make sure you’ve installed and enabled Git on your local machine. 

Note: Your Git terminal may look different depending on your operating system (I’m using Windows), but the steps are the same. 

1. Go to the web page for your GitHub repository, and note the URL. 

2. Open Bash on Windows. (If you’re using Linux or Mac, open Terminal.) 

3. Use the cd command to switch to the directory you want to use to work on your project locally.

   

4. Enter git clone [URL of your repository] to copy your repository to your local machine.

   

5. Use the cd command to go into your repository directory. You’ll know you’re in the right place if your new command line ends with the name of the main branch of your repository. For example, the name of my main branch is “main,” so (main) appears at the end of my command line.

   

6. Once you’ve added your files to your directory and are ready to push to GitHub, in your Bash window, enter git add . to select all the files in your repository. 

7. Enter git commit -m "[commit message]" to save the changes to your local repository. You can enter anything for the commit message, but adding -m "[commit message]" specifies what this code change is doing, so it’s helpful to be clear and concise.

   

8. Enter git push origin [branch name] to save your code changes to GitHub.

   

If you haven’t already done so, GitHub will prompt you to authenticate your identity. Enter your GitHub username and password. Once the authentication is done, the upload process will start. After it’s complete, you’ll see specific details about where the data was uploaded.

That’s it! You’ve successfully pushed your local files and folders to your GitHub repository. 

To double-check that you pushed to GitHub successfully, open your GitHub repository web page. Your code changes should appear there. 

Automate GitHub with Zapier

Zapier lets you connect GitHub to thousands of apps, so you can automate more of your Git processes. For example, you can automatically get a notification or create a task in your project management tool whenever there’s a new pull request in your repository. Or you can notify others about new commits to your repo. Here are a few templates to get you started, but you can use Zapier to connect GitHub to thousands of other apps.

Colors is all set to bring in a passionate love story Chand Jalne Laga on television, which revolves around the journey of two childhood sweethearts, Dev and Tara. Starring popular actors, Vishal Aditya Singh and Kanika Mann in the lead roles, the show captures how the two who once brought solace into each other’s lives are separated by the turn of fate. The makers believe that the sentiments of love, separation, and uncertainty of their extraordinary tale are best expressed through music, which has now them to create a music video.

COLORS’ romance drama Chand Jalne Laga starring Kanika Mann and Vishal Aditya Singh gets a special music video

Ahead of its launch, the show will present a soulful music video which sheds light on what it means to be in love with someone and move apart from them. Sung by award-winning singers Amit Mishra and Antara Mitra, it is titled ‘Chand Jalne Laga’ and composed by Raja Narayan Deb.

Sharing her thoughts about the song, Antara Mitra says, “Working alongside Amit Mishra for the creation of Chand Jalne Laga’s music was an incredible journey. This was my first collaboration with Raja Narayan Deb and it was a delight to sing for him. We aimed to weave the love story of Dev and Tara into every note of this song. We truly hope that this song will serve as a heartfelt extension of the show. We poured our hearts into this project, and I am confident that our fans will feel the same emotional connection that we did while recording it.”

Talking about the song Amit Mishra says, “Melody has the unique ability to convey emotions that words alone cannot express. Lending my voice to Chand Jalne Laga and working with composer Raja Narayan Deb and lyricist Manoj Yadav was a pleasure. The lyrics are touching, and the melody is simply mesmerizing. I strongly believe that this song will resonate with every soul that listens to it. Through the power of music, we’ve painted the emotional canvas of Dev and Tara’s love story in the most beautiful way possible. The song sets the perfect tone for this fairytale romance, standing for the test of love and the poignant pain of separation. I hope the audience loves this track and showers their love on it.”

Chand Jalne Laga will also be exploring the chemistry between Kanika Mann and Vishal Aditya Singh for the first time and it is expected to air on Colors soon.

Some of my favorite recurring “Saturday Night Live” bits are the focus group sketches, where a beleaguered product rep tries fruitlessly to lead a group through a product testing scenario—with great difficulty, because at least one of the testers winds up being patently bananas. (My personal favorite is this Charmin sketch, featuring James McAvoy’s frankly flawless Philly accent.)

After watching a few of those sketches, you can imagine why real-life focus groups tend to be pretty small. Even without any over-the-top personalities involved, it’s easy for these groups to go off the rails.

So what happens when you want to collect market research at a larger scale? That’s where the market research survey comes in. Market surveys allow you to get just as much valuable information as an in-person interview, without the burden of herding hundreds of rowdy Eagles fans through a product test.

Table of contents:

What is a market research survey?

A market research survey is a questionnaire designed to collect key information about a company’s target market and audience that will help guide business decisions about products and services, branding angles, and advertising campaigns.

Market surveys are what’s known as “primary research”—that is, information that the researching company gathers firsthand. Secondary research consists of data that another organization gathered and published, which other researchers can then use for their own reports. Primary research is more expensive and time-intensive than secondary research, which is why you should only use market research surveys to obtain information that you can’t get anywhere else. 

A market research survey can collect information on your target customers’:

The types of information that can usually be found in a secondary source, and therefore aren’t good candidates for a market survey, include your target customers’:

• Demographic data

• Consumer spending data

• Household size

• Income

• Education

• Career

Lots of this secondary information can be found in a public database like those maintained by the Census Bureau and Bureau of Labor Statistics. There are also a few free market research tools that you can use to access more detailed data, like Think with Google, Data USA, and Statista. Or, if you’re looking to learn about your existing customer base, you can also use a CRM to automatically record key information about your customers each time they make a purchase.

If you’ve exhausted your secondary research options and still have unanswered questions, it’s time to start thinking about conducting a market research survey.

Why conduct market research?

The first thing to figure out is what you’re trying to learn, and from whom. Are you beta testing a new product or feature with existing users? Or are you looking to identify new customer personas for your marketers to target? There are a number of different ways to use a marketing research survey, and your choice will impact how you set up the questionnaire.

Here are some examples of how market research surveys can be used to fill a wide range of knowledge gaps for companies:

• A B2B software company asks real users in its industry about Kanban board usage to help prioritize their project view change rollout.

• A B2C software company asks its target demographic about their mobile browsing habits to help them find features to incorporate into their forthcoming mobile app.

• A printing company asks its target demographic about fabric preferences to gauge interest in a premium material option for their apparel lines.

• A wholesale food vendor surveys regional restaurant owners to find ideas for seasonal products to offer.

Primary vs. secondary market research

Market surveys are what’s known as “primary research”—that is, information that the researching company gathers firsthand. Secondary research consists of data that another organization gathered and published, which other researchers can then use for their own reports.

6 types of market research survey

Depending on your goal, you’ll need different types of market research. Here are six types of market research surveys.

1. Buyer persona research

A buyer persona or customer profile is a simple sketch of the types of people that you should be targeting as potential customers. 

A buyer persona research survey will help you learn more about things like demographics, household makeup, income and education levels, and lifestyle markers. The more you learn about your existing customers, the more specific you can get in targeting potential customers. You may find that there are more buyer personas within your user base than the ones that you’ve been targeting.

2. Sales funnel research

The sales funnel is the path that potential customers take to eventually become buyers. It starts with the target’s awareness of your product, then moves through stages of increasing interest until they ultimately make a purchase. 

With a sales funnel research survey, you can learn about potential customers’ main drivers at different stages of the sales funnel. You can also get feedback on how effective different sales strategies are. Use this survey to find out:

• How close potential buyers are to making a purchase

• What tools and experiences have been most effective in moving prospective customers closer to conversion

• What types of lead magnets are most attractive to your target audience

3. Customer loyalty research

Whenever you take a customer experience survey after you make a purchase, you’ll usually see a few questions about whether you would recommend the company or a particular product to a friend. After you’ve identified your biggest brand advocates, you can look for persona patterns to determine what other customers are most likely to be similarly enthusiastic about your products. Use these surveys to learn:

• The demographics of your most loyal customers

• What tools are most effective in turning customers into advocates

• What you can do to encourage more brand loyalty

4. Branding and marketing research

The Charmin focus group featured in that SNL sketch is an example of branding and marketing research, in which a company looks for feedback on a particular advertising angle to get a sense of whether it will be effective before the company spends money on running the ad at scale. Use this type of survey to find out:

• Whether a new advertising angle will do well with existing customers

• Whether a campaign will do well with a new customer segment you haven’t targeted yet

• What types of campaign angles do well with a particular demographic

5. New products or features research

Whereas the Charmin sketch features a marketing focus group, this one features new product research for a variety of new Hidden Valley Ranch flavors. Though you can’t get hands-on feedback on new products when you’re conducting a survey instead of an in-person meeting, you can survey your customers to find out:

• What features they wish your product currently had

• What other similar or related products they shop for

• What they think of a particular product or feature idea

Running a survey before investing resources into developing a new offering will save you and the company a lot of time, money, and energy.

6. Competitor research

You can get a lot of information about your own customers and users via automatic data collection, but your competitors’ customer base may not be made up of the same buyer personas that yours is. Survey your competitors’ users to find out:

• Your competitors’ customers’ demographics, habits, and behaviors

• Whether your competitors have found success with a buyer persona you’re not targeting

• Information about buyers for a product that’s similar to one you’re thinking about launching

• Feedback on what features your competitors’ customers wish their version of a product had

How to write and conduct a market research survey

Once you’ve narrowed down your survey’s objectives, you can move forward with designing and running your survey.

Step 1: Write your survey questions

A poorly worded survey, or a survey that uses the wrong question format, can render all of your data moot. If you write a question that results in most respondents answering “none of the above,” you haven’t learned much. 

You’ll find dozens of question types and even pre-written questions in most survey apps. Here are a few common question types that work well for market surveys.

Categorical questions

Also known as a nominal question, this question type provides numbers and percentages for easy visualization, like “35% said ABC.” It works great for bar graphs and pie charts, but you can’t take averages or test correlations with nominal-level data.

• Yes/No: The most basic survey question used in polls is the Yes/No question, which can be easily created using your survey app or by adding Yes/No options to a multiple-choice question. 

• Multiple choice: Use this type of question if you need more nuance than a Yes/No answer gives. You can add as many answers as you want, and your respondents can pick only one answer to the question. 

• Checkbox: Checkbox questions add the flexibility to select all the answers that apply. Add as many answers as you want, and respondents aren’t limited to just one. 

Ordinal questions

This type of question requires survey-takers to pick from options presented in a specific order, like “income of $0-$25K, $26K-$40K, $41K+.” Like nominal questions, ordinal questions elicit responses that allow you to analyze counts and percentages, though you can’t calculate averages or assess correlations with ordinal-level data.

• Dropdown: Responses to ordinal questions can be presented as a dropdown, from which survey-takers can only make one selection. You could use this question type to gather demographic data, like the respondent’s country or state of residence. 

• Ranking: This is a unique question type that allows respondents to arrange a list of answers in their preferred order, providing feedback on each option in the process. 

Interval/ratio questions

For precise data and advanced analysis, use interval or ratio questions. These can help you calculate more advanced analytics, like averages, test correlations, and run regression models. Interval questions commonly use scales of 1-5 or 1-7, like “Strongly disagree” to “Strongly agree.” Ratio questions have a true zero and often ask for numerical inputs (like “How many cups of coffee do you drink per day? ____”).

• Ranking scale: A ranking scale presents answer choices along an ordered value-based sequence, either using numbers, a like/love scale, a never/always scale, or some other ratio interval. It gives more insight into people’s thoughts than a Yes/No question. 

• Matrix: Have a lot of interval questions to ask? You can put a number of questions in a list and use the same scale for all of them. It simplifies gathering data about a lot of similar items at once. 

• Textbox: A textbox question is needed for collecting direct feedback or personal data like names. There will be a blank space where the respondent can enter their answer to your question on their own. 

Step 2: Choose a survey platform

There are a lot of survey platforms to choose from, and they all offer different and unique features. Check out Zapier’s list of the best online survey apps to help you decide.

Most survey apps today look great on mobile, but be sure to preview your survey on your phone and computer, at least, to make sure it’ll look good for all of your users.

If you have the budget, you can also purchase survey services from a larger research agency. 

Step 3: Run a test survey

Before you run your full survey, conduct a smaller test on 5%-10% of your target respondent pool size. This will allow you to work out any confusing wording or questions that result in unhelpful responses without spending the full cost of the survey. Look out for:

• Survey rejection from the platform for prohibited topics

• Joke or nonsense textbox answers that indicate the respondent didn’t answer the survey in earnest

• Multiple choice questions with an outsized percentage of “none of the above” or “N/A” responses

Step 4: Launch your survey

If your test survey comes back looking good, you’re ready to launch the full thing! Make sure that you leave ample time for the survey to run—you’d be surprised at how long it takes to get a few thousand respondents. 

Even if you’ve run similar surveys in the past, leave more time than you need. Some surveys take longer than others for no clear reason, and you also want to build in time to conduct a comprehensive data analysis.

Step 5: Organize and interpret the data

Unless you’re a trained data analyst, you should avoid crunching all but the simplest survey data by hand. Most survey platforms include some form of reporting dashboard that will handle things like population weighting for you, but you can also connect your survey platform to other apps that make it easy to keep track of your results and turn them into actionable insights.

Tips for running a market research survey

You know the basics of how to conduct a market research survey, but here are some tips to enhance the quality of your data and the reliability of your findings.

• Find the right audience: You could have meticulously crafted survey questions, but if you don’t target the appropriate demographic or customer segment, it doesn’t really matter. You need to collect responses from the people you’re trying to understand. Targeted audiences you can send surveys to include your existing customers, current social media followers, newsletter subscribers, attendees at relevant industry events, and community members from online forums, discussion boards, or other online communities that cater to your target audience. 

• Take advantage of existing resources: No need to reinvent the wheel. You may be able to use common templates and online survey platforms like SurveyMonkey for both survey creation and distribution. You can also use AI tools to create better surveys. For example, generative AI tools like ChatGPT can help you generate questions, while analytical AI tools can scan survey responses to help sort, tag, and report on them. Some survey apps have AI built into them already too.

• Focus questions on a desired data type: As you conceptualize your survey, consider whether a qualitative or quantitative approach will better suit your research goals. Qualitative methods are best for exploring in-depth insights and underlying motivations, while quantitative methods are better for obtaining statistical data and measurable trends. For an outcome like “optimize our ice cream shop’s menu offerings,” you may want to find out which flavors of ice cream are most popular with teens. This would require a quantitative approach, for which you would use categorical questions that can help you rank potential flavors numerically.

• Establish a timeline: Set a realistic timeline for your survey, from creation to distribution to data collection and analysis. You’ll want to balance having your survey out long enough to generate a significant amount of responses but not so long that it loses relevance. That length can vary widely based on factors like type of survey, number of questions, audience size, time sensitivity, question format, and question length.

• Define a margin of error: Your margin of error shows how much the survey results might differ from the real opinions of the entire group being studied. Since you can’t possibly survey every single person in your desired population, you’ll have to settle on an acceptable percentage of error upfront, a percentage figure that varies by sample size, sample proportion, and confidence interval. According to University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Pamela Hunter, 95% is the industry standard confidence level (though small sample sizes may get by with 90%). At the 95% level, for example, an acceptable margin of error for a survey of 500 respondents would be 3%. That means that if 80% of respondents give a positive response to a question, the data shows that between 77-83% respond positively 95 out of 100 times.

Market research survey campaign example

Let’s say you own a market research company, and you want to use a survey to gain critical insights into your market. You prompt users to fill out your survey before they can access gated premium content.

Survey questions: 

1. What size is your business? 

• <10 employees

• 11-50 employees

• 51-100 employees

• 101-200 employees

• >200 employees

2. What industry type best describes your role?

• Sales

• Marketing

• IT

• Management

• HR

• Operations

• Other

3. On a scale of 1-4, how important would you say access to market data is?

• 1 – Not important

• 2 – Somewhat important

• 3 – Very important

• 4 – Critically important

4. On a scale of 1 (least important) to 5 (most important), rank how important these market data access factors are.

5. True or false: your job relies on access to accurate, up-to-date market data.

Survey findings: 

• 63% of respondents represent businesses with over 100 employees, while only 8% represent businesses with under 10.

• 71% of respondents work in sales, marketing, or operations.

• 80% of respondents consider access to market data to be either very important or critically important.

• “Timeliness of data” (38%) and “Accuracy of data” (32%) were most commonly ranked as the most important market data access factor.

• 86% of respondents claimed that their jobs rely on accessing accurate, up-to-date market data.

Insights and recommendations: Independent analysis of the survey indicates that a large percentage of users work in the sales, marketing, or operations fields of large companies, and these customers value timeliness and accuracy most. These findings can help you position future report offerings more effectively by highlighting key benefits that are important to customers that fit into related customer profiles. 

Market research survey example questions

Your individual questions will vary by your industry, market, and research goals, so don’t expect a cut-and-paste survey to suit your needs. To help you get started, here are market research survey example questions to give you a sense of the format.

• Yes/No: Have you purchased our product before?

• Multiple choice: How many employees work at your company?

• Checkbox: Which of the following features do you use in our app?

• Dropdown: What’s your household income? 

• Ranking: Which social media platforms do you use the most? Rank in order, from most to least.

• Ranking scale: On a scale of 1-5, how would you rate our customer service? 

• Textbox: How many apps are installed on your phone? Enter a number: 

Market research survey question types

Good survey apps typically offer pre-designed templates as a starting point. But to give you a more visual sense of what these questions might look like, we’ve put together a document showcasing common market research survey question types.

Use automation to put survey results into action

You’re going to get a lot of responses back from your survey—why dig through them all manually if you don’t have to? Automate your survey to aggregate information for you, so it’s that much easier to uncover findings.

Build workflows

This year, you shared more than 11,000 pieces of feedback, which we turned into 41 new features. And there’s more on the way, too. Here’s how you can easily discover new ways to use Zapier, see your workflows clearly, and customize them.

Unlock more powerful automation in our new editor

We’ve redesigned the editor so it’s faster, clearer, and easier to build powerful Zaps that grow with you. You can manage all the moving pieces of a Zap in a single view or zoom in to a specific spot, making it easier for your team to understand and collaborate on complex workflows with multiple paths. Drag-and-drop to reorder steps or even entire paths. You can add up to 10 paths to any Zap to create more complex workflows. 

We’ve also added AI to make the Zapier experience easier. You can use our AI-powered Zap builder in the editor to turn rough ideas into your next Zap. It’s easy and intuitive for automation newbies to start, and power users can build Zaps faster. AI-powered suggestions for field mapping help you map app data where you need it and launch Zaps more quickly.

Formatter and Code steps have an AI power-up, too, so you can send data from your apps faster and solve the tougher automation challenges without any coding knowledge. You can learn more about other AI features within Zapier.

These features are now available, so try them out for yourself!

Extend the power of apps, your way

Choice matters, especially when trying to automate your most essential apps. Thanks to your feedback, we’ve made more than 1,253 integration improvements this year.  

Here are some of the newest integrations you can find on Zapier—along with a few options for further customizing your apps:

Integrations

Zapier now integrates with more than 6,000 apps—including dozens of AI integrations and enterprise-grade solutions such as Google MakerSuite. You can bring AI into your automated workflows to draft tailored email responses, intelligently route leads, and more. Streamline processes and unlock your business’s potential with the right AI tools for your needs. 

Beyond AI, we’ve also added data warehouse integrations such as Snowflake, Amazon RedShift, and Google BigQuery, so your team can easily integrate your business data with other tools for faster insights.

We’ve also updated our Microsoft family of app integrations for you to use, such as new integrations for Microsoft Sharepoint and Azure Active Directory, and additional actions for Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM and Microsoft Outlook.

Still looking for a specific integration or app action? Don’t worry: We’ve added new ways for you to build a one-of-a-kind solution for your team. 

AI-powered App Extensions

If you need an action unavailable in an existing Zapier integration, you can now build it yourself. 

With App Extensions, you can create custom actions to reuse across Zaps and share with your teammates. You can also use AI to create an app extension. Just describe your desired action, and AI will generate it for you. 

Private integrations

If you need to fill even more significant automation gaps in your workflows, you can create custom integrations in the Zapier Platform. 

Whether you need to automate internal tools or extend functionality for an existing app, the Zapier Platform’s graphic interface and command line tools make it easy to create custom integrations to meet your business and technical needs.

Private integrations are invite-only for teammates and collaborators, so you can ensure the right people can use your integration—or help you maintain it.

Collaborate with team members seamlessly

You don’t want to be the only one building Zaps for your team. It should be easy for your teammates to pick up where you left off, no matter how complex your workflows are. These new features will make it easier for you and your team to scale automation together:

Zap notes

You can add notes to any Zap or Zap step and provide quick context for your team, such as why you built a step a specific way, common mistakes to avoid, or even warnings about editing particular steps. You can also generate Zap notes with AI, so even your documentation-hating coworker can create a paper trail.  

Export an image of your Zap

Need to share information about a workflow but want to avoid granting access to the actual Zap? No need to create a flowchart from scratch. Now you can export an image of your workflow directly from the editor. Quickly inform stakeholders while controlling who can access your Zap, or even use Zap images for internal process documentation. (And you know how much bosses love a good flowchart.)  

More Zap details at a glance

Need to clarify which Zap your colleague wanted you to edit because there’s another workflow with a similar name? Or perhaps you want a way to easily copy a coworker’s genius Zap. 

We’ve brought all the Zap details onto the Zaps page,  so you can quickly preview workflow contents directly from the sidebar. Plus, you can also copy Zaps and even view a Zap’s history—all without opening the editor. 

Scale workflows

Unmanaged growth can quickly become chaos, so you’ve asked for more tools to control how you scale Zapier across your business. We’ve added new features so you can confidently automate with your team, manage processes effectively, and oversee automation across your company. 

Build robust Zaps confidently and scale faster 

Our latest additions cut down the trial-and-error of building Zaps so you can scale automation across your team faster.

Modify test records

We’ve improved Zap testing, so your team can build more resilient workflows. Now, you can edit and create custom test records for trigger steps, giving you more flexibility to create Zaps that cover various scenarios and reduce potential errors upfront. You don’t have to clutter your apps with fake records or accidentally email a customer for the sake of testing Zaps. 

Test Zap steps (or skip) in bulk

Automating complex processes shouldn’t feel like a chore or an extreme mouse-clicking exercise. Now, you can test all your Zap steps at once to automate critical processes faster while ensuring everything works. 

You can skip tests in bulk, too, if you don’t want specific actions to run during testing, are in a hurry, or prefer to test with a live Zap. 

Manage errors more effectively

You’re a natural problem-solver who needs the tools to recover quickly when a critical Zap breaks. These features will help you proactively handle potential disruptions, prevent lost data, and keep your business running smoothly: 

AI-powered troubleshooting

AI-powered troubleshooting gives step-by-step guidance to fix Zap errors, so you don’t have to decode a cryptic error message to figure out the issue. Your teammates can also troubleshoot with AI and fix Zaps—even if they have little context—so you don’t have to manage processes solo. 

Error ratio grace period

No one knows better than you which Zap errors will affect your operations most. Earlier this year, we introduced an error ratio override setting that lets you prevent Zaps from shutting off when repeated errors occur. 

We’ve now added an error ratio grace period, which alerts you in advance—24 hours for Team plans and 72 hours for Company plans—so you can intervene before critical workflows shut off. 

Here’s how it works: You’ll receive an email notification if a step reaches a threshold of continued errors. You’ll then have a grace period to troubleshoot the issue or adjust your error ratio settings before a Zap turns off. 

Keep sensitive data safe

You need peace of mind that the right colleagues are automating with the right tools, so we’ve added some new controls to help you oversee Zapier usage and minimize risk:

Allowed apps

Account admins on Company plans can already restrict teams from automating with specific apps. Still, creating a “yes” list is easier than creating a “no” list—especially since Zapier works with more than 6,000 apps. 

Good news, admins: We’ve simplified management, so now you can choose the apps your team can integrate with Zapier. You can even permit apps for specific groups and users, ensuring the right people have the access needed, and everyone is automating safely. 

Static IP

We’ve also added the ability to set static IP addresses. Available on Team and Company plans, static IP addresses control traffic to and from Zapier, adding an extra layer of security to your workflows. 

Static IPs also work with private apps and data warehouse integrations like Amazon RedShift, BigQuery, and Snowflake. You can add static IPs to internal allowlists so your team can access Zapier through a firewall. 

Beyond workflows

To solve the most challenging business problems, you need more tools to build one-of-a-kind solutions that work for you. 

But we don’t just want to add another app to your tech stack. Instead, we’ve introduced building blocks that allow you to build your own one-of-a-kind software without any code. Our new products unlock a whole new way for you to use the power of automation to store data, create interactive apps, and improve your Zaps’ reliability—all on Zapier.

Meet Zapier Tables

Big news: Zapier Tables is out of beta and available to Zapier users for free.

Tables is a no-code database tool that lets you store and manage the data that powers your Zaps. It’s automation-first (of course), so you can move data in and out of any app easily and plug seamlessly into your critical workflows. 

If Zaps are your automation building block for creating your own software, consider Tables your database building block. 

Meet Zapier Interfaces

Zapier Interfaces is a no-code, automation-powered app builder that lets you create your own personalized solution—from forms and landing pages to web apps—all in one spot.

When you pair Interfaces with Tables and Zaps, you have all the building blocks to create and update your custom app without a developer.

Do more with AI 

At last year’s ZapConnect, we asked: “What if everyone could build their own software, even if they don’t know how to code?” 

That question is no longer hypothetical: Thanks to the significant advances in generative AI in the last year, we’re bringing you new AI-first tools to help you solve the most challenging business problems faster: 

AI Chatbot

AI Chatbot lets you build your own AI bot—without any code—for all sorts of tasks, from customer support to frequently asked questions or personalized coaching. 

Train your chatbot with internal knowledge by simply uploading a text file. Send chatbot responses elsewhere with Zaps, or start workflows based on chatbot feedback from your customers.

AI Chatbot can help you scale your business and impact in new ways.

Announcing: Zapier Canvas

Last, cut certainly not least, we’re excited to introduce our new AI-powered diagramming tool called Zapier Canvas.

Canvas allows you to plan potential workflows and get recommendations on what to automate next—without going through trial-and-error in the Zap editor. You can experiment without the commitment, and once you’ve ironed out a suitable workflow, you can turn it into a Zap immediately. 

Zapier Canvas is in alpha—which means it’s a very​​ early version of the final product—and it’s available through Zapier Early Access.

The future of automation is AI-powered, visual, and, most importantly, less work for you.

Outpace ordinary with automation and AI

These updates are just the start: We want you to outpace the ordinary and scale your impact on your own terms. 

Zapier will continue to build new and improved ways to help you solve your toughest challenges through the power of automation and AI. 

Following the success of Dream Girl and Dream Girl 2, filmmaker Raaj Shaandilyaa is busy developing new projects. According to the latest buzz, Shaandilyaa is in talks with two of the biggest Bollywood stars, Kartik Aaryan and Ayushmann Khurrana, for separate films.

Raaj Shaandilyaa in talks with Kartik Aaryan and Ayushmann Khurrana for new comedy films: Report

With the surge of new AI tools hitting the market every day, it can be hard to keep up. From chatbots to writing tools to image generators, AI is certainly changing the way we work—at an astounding pace.  

Now, the business world is turning its attention to AI-powered personal assistants. Those are the tools you can train to sound like yourself, organize your work, and collaborate on projects. Personal AI is one such tool. Think of it as building yourself a second brain, where you can store everything from personal memories to work projects and busy schedules. 

And when you pair it with Zapier, you can take it to the next level by having it assist you in messaging other people, creating and summarizing content, and remembering important information. Here are four ways you can automate your workflows to make the most out of Personal AI:

Manage your business communication  

Because Personal AI acts as your assistant (and mimics your voice), it makes sense that you’d want to delegate some (or a lot) of your business communication over to it. Whether you want to respond to Slack messages or incoming emails from fellow team members, Personal AI can help speed up the process of responding to internal company communication. 

Plus, given that you can feed it extra context as you train it (like who specific team members are or what projects you’re working on), Personal AI can draft responses with extra details specific to your role. 

But that doesn’t mean you want to spend time copying and pasting company messages into Personal AI then manually sending out its responses. With these Zaps, you can set up an automatic process that will do the heavy lifting for you. 

As soon as you receive a new email in a specific folder or a Slack message is sent to a specific channel, Zapier will send it straight to Personal AI. Then, Personal AI will generate a response, and Zapier will send it to your team via email or Slack. Job done. 

Want to save important messages directly inside Personal AI? Perhaps you’re scrolling through team chat threads and see an important company update that you want to refer back to later. With these Zaps, you can save those messages directly within Personal AI and go over them when you have more time. 

Stay up to date with your calendar events

Ever struggle to manage your schedule? From spontaneous meetings thrown on my calendar to events that are scheduled weeks in advance, I often struggle to remember what I’m doing on any given day. 

Wouldn’t it be helpful if you could just… ask your assistant? Personal AI can give you the rundown on upcoming calendar events, including the attendees, description, and any prep you need to do beforehand. But only if you use these Zaps. 

With them, you can connect your calendar to Personal AI so that it automatically stores every new event added to your schedule. Then, you can either ask Personal AI directly about specific events or notify yourself in Slack whenever a new event is coming up. 

Transform the way you manage projects and save outcomes

Once I finish a project, I have a terrible habit of forgetting all about it. As a writer, I generally keep an eye out for the specific outcomes or results a campaign or blog post might have generated, but it’s true that I don’t log these in any database.

Yet, this information can be invaluable when it comes to performance reviews. Easily submitting professional achievements to your manager (without having to search through ancient Slack conversations) is a game-changer. 

With these Zaps, you can send project information (including briefs, URLs of finished work, and the results) straight to Personal AI from your database or Slack message. That way, in the future you can just ask Personal AI to draft up a summary based on your previous projects. 

Alternatively, you might struggle to get started on a project. Or maybe every now and then you miss out on a request that’s logged in your project management tool (like Notion). With this Zap, you can automatically send new project or task requests to Personal AI, so your assistant can let you know what you’re supposed to be doing—and when. 

Save and manage your research

Chances are your role requires you to carry out research every now and then. Whether you’re researching a niche topic for a blog article or looking into content trends for a specific marketing campaign, you’ll probably get hit with an influx of information. 

And when you come across key insights or web articles critical to your projects, you’ll want a handy way to store—and summarize—them. Doing so manually takes time and effort, so why not let Personal AI take care of it?

With these Zaps, you can set up workflows that will automatically take information from your database or a webpage, summarize the contents, then store it directly in Personal AI so you can refer back to it later.
