Building a CRM in Airtable? Here's one Airtable + Zapier hack to supercharge your processes:
Use a checkbox on Airtable to trigger events in Zapier
I'm going to automate cold emails with the click of a button
First, set up one checkbox column for the first cold email
The Email 1 Date is special
It's a "Last Modified Time" column which means it updates automatically when you edit Airtable
Tell Airtable to "listen" for changes in specific fields - our checkbox column
Set your Zapier trigger for New or Updated Rows
Then specify that you're listening for changes in the Email 1 Date
Add another step for Gmail, Mailchimp, Hubspot, or any other email service provider to send the email and track the date it was sent
This is just one tool in our Zapier/Airtable/Hubspot toolbox. When combined with others, you can create very powerful custom software
