Meisterplan + Zapier
Connect All Your Favorite Tools to Meisterplan with Zapier and Minimize Your Team's Workload
Organizations rely on dozens of tools to help them operate, but this can also create roadblocks. With so many applications, important project data and updates are not easily communicated across companies because these apps are not connected and sharing information. The only way for companies to ensure no crucial piece of information falls through the cracks is to tediously enter data into multiple places…until now.
Meisterplan now integrates with Zapier, which gives users access to thousands of other app integrations. By using Zapier, you can integrate Meisterplan with all the tools your teams use so no one has to do double maintenance on project data. Whether you need to update a project or put in an approved time-off request, Meisterplan and Zapier can make the process seamless.

What Is Zapier and How Does It Work?
Zapier is an online automation tool that acts as the connector between thousands of applications. Zapier allows different types of apps and online tools to share data, which saves users everywhere tons of time and greatly increases communication and efficiency. Users set up workflows called “Zaps” that respond to a predetermined “Trigger.” Users can customize their Zaps themselves or use our pre-configured Zaps and Triggers.
Create and Update Projects with Ease
Your teams use project management tools, but you need a strategic high-level view of every project in your portfolio. No problem! You can connect your Meisterplan system to your project management tool through Zapier. By doing so, you can make sure projects in Meisterplan get automatically updated or added when your project teams make changes. No more compiling status reports, digging through emails or guessing what your project teams are up to.
Simplify the Process of Bringing in New Projects
Organizing new project initiatives can be quite a headache, but it doesn’t have to be. Instead of sending out a call for new project ideas and being overwhelmed by emails and scribbled notes you can now have all new initiatives sent directly to your Meisterplan system with exactly the information you need. Gone are the days of compiling new project ideas in spreadsheets or sorting through form submissions. With Zapier, you decide which data fields you want to be included in each new project initiative and then that information is sent to a designated sub-portfolio for later evaluation.
Adding and Updating Resources Is Painless
Keeping track of employees and their time-off schedules has never been easier. Instead of time-off requests getting lost in your email or having to dig through a lengthy spreadsheet, you can now add and update resources through Zapier. You can also automatically send absences to your Meisterplan, so employees aren’t booked when they’re out of the office. This gives you confidence that your resource pool is accurate and prevents costly mistakes.
