Starting with...
One great example of the fruitful symbiosis that can occur with basic Zaps involves Onclusive Social (formerly Digimind) and a number of apps that can assist with utilizing Voice of the Customer (VoC) data. By coordinating with an application, such as Qualtrics, you can feed Onclusive Social (formerly Digimind) valuable data from survey feedback derived from Qualtrics, SurveyMonkey, Typeform, or even Google Forms. This process can also be applied to email boxes as well, such as Microsoft Outlook or Gmail.

By taking advantage of this Zap, a team - say a Customer Feedback team, for example - could automatically incorporate such feedback from something as innocuous as a product satisfaction survey, and into Onclusive Social (formerly Digimind), providing marketing and insights professionals with complete comprehension of their target audience’s preferences via solicited (e.g. a survey) and unsolicited (e.g. a social listening effort) insights. When you automate tasks you can more easily streamline the whole process.
The outcome is impressive in terms of quantifiable results for anyone focusing on market research, but the set up is much more approachable in reality:

In the above image, you can see how the setup for this zap is very straightforward and approachable to most. Zaps like this can also come in handy when dealing with data entry tools, like Google Sheets.
When needing to keep your team(s) in the loop regarding the changing market and business environment, it’s important to also bring real time data to their attention - directly within their own active workflows. Take for example, Slack. Through this particular Zapier integration, by setting up a Zap that connects Onclusive Social (formerly Digimind) to online collaboration platforms like Microsoft Teams, Chatter, Yammer, CRMs or external dashboards, one can more easily communicate and share with the most appropriate individuals within their existing workplace.

This Zapier integration can provide a more useful means to share key information and foster stronger collaborative relationships that utilize feedback to deliver better intelligence deliverables. This can also be set up, as we discussed before, with triggers that allow team members to be alerted to important real time data as it gets shared through the Zap, thus improving customer satisfaction when properly implemented.
You owe it to yourself to end the constant flurry of missed messages, miscommunications, and wasted time jumping around. More than just an internal instant chat function, the connections made through a Zap such as this provides marketing and insights professionals the means to reach the right people at the right time within a huge company riddled with multiple teams that work on their own timelines.
