Hi @sakeban 

Maybe explore asking ChatGPT for ideas.

Thanks, Troy! I’ve been thinking about how Zapier could be used to support decentralized teams or even automate parts of governance in community-driven projects. Has anyone tried using Zapier in these kinds of innovative ways? Would love to hear any ideas or experiences!

I’ve been thinking about how Zapier could be used to automate parts of decentralized projects. For example, with my Instaup app for boosting Instagram followers, I’m curious how automation could streamline marketing or manage customer engagement. Anyone tried something similar?

Hi @sakeban 👋

Did you get the answers you were looking for by using ChatGPT as Troy suggested?

If not, I’d suggest breaking the desired workflows down into some simple ‘when/then’ statements to help determine whether what you’re after is achievable with Zapier. We have a guide that talks about this sort of approach that I think you might find helpful:


Hope that helps to get you pointed in the right direction. If you run into any issues or have additional questions do let us know!
