Scenarios

Facility Service Request to Resolution

Employee Request → Zapier Form → Zapier Table → Priority & Category Rules → Facilities Owner → Approval / Vendor Action → SLA Follow-Up → Closure Notification

Participants build an end-to-end facilities-service workflow that captures requests, assigns ownership, escalates urgent cases, coordinates vendor or internal action, and tracks the request through closure.

Preventive Maintenance & Facility Compliance Tracking

Scheduled Trigger → Asset / Facility Records → Maintenance Due Check → Work Order → Owner / Vendor Notification → Overdue Escalation → Completion Record → Management Summary

Participants automate recurring maintenance activities so inspections and service requirements are identified proactively, assigned to responsible parties, monitored for completion, and consolidated into management reporting.

## Current Capability Reference

Zapier Forms currently supports structured information collection and can trigger automated workflows, while Zapier Tables can act as an automation-focused record layer for requests, assets, maintenance activities, and operational status.

Zapier Canvas can document complete business systems containing both manual and automated steps and can link Zaps, agents, Tables, Forms, and connected applications.

For intermediate workflow logic, **Paths by Zapier** supports conditional branching, **Looping by Zapier** can process lists item-by-item, **Schedule by Zapier** supports recurring execution, and **Webhooks by Zapier** supports event-driven integrations with external applications.

Where custom transformations or logic are needed, **Code by Zapier** currently supports JavaScript and Python steps and can be used for data transformation, calculations, API calls, and structured-data processing.
