THE ZAPIER MONTHLY

VOL. II, ISSUE 12

January Release Notes

New year, new format. We're working hard to make Zapier more powerful for you, and this monthly email will help you stay in-the-know about new features, apps, and strategies that you can use to get more done with less busy work.

New on Zapier: Folders

Folders: Channel Your Inner Neat Freak

Obsessive organizers rejoice: Folders are here. Now you can group your Zaps by project, app, client, Zappiness, or whatever—it's totally up to you.

Add a folder from your dashboard

Visit your Dashboard and hit the + button on the left-hand side to create your first folder. Move Zaps to a folder using the dropdown arrow to the right of the Zap. Rename or delete a folder by hovering over it and hitting the gear.

Bonus: Improved Dashboard Search. Find what you're looking for the first time by searching for the name of an app or Zap. Learn more about folders or make some of your own.

New Zapier apps

9 New Apps: Automate More, Work Less

Sorry, it's kind of tough to gift-wrap web apps. But in December nine new tools teamed up with Zapier. What does that mean for you? More app options—more than 570 of 'em. Read the release notes and supercharge your workflow.

Channel Topic Updates for Slack

New: Auto-Set Slack Channel Topics

Use Slack's channel topics as virtual sticky-notes for your team. Now our enhanced integration can auto-update any channel topic with a link, stat, or appointment that you need to access later.

Because sometimes, you just need a friendly reminder. Get some topical inspiration. (No puns on the other side; I promise.)
