Automated Weekend Reply Bot with Zapier

Trigger: Set up a Zap to trigger on every new question posted in your community platform (e.g., inSided).

Date/Time Check: Use Zapier's Formatter to extract the weekday from the question's timestamp, converting it to your desired timezone (e.g., US/Pacific).

Filter: Add a Zapier Filter step to continue only if the day is Saturday or Sunday.

Automated Reply: Use the community platform's API (or Zapier integration) to post an automated reply. Example message:

âThanks so much for your question! The Community team will get back to you when business hours resume on Monday 9am Pacific.â

User ID: The reply can be posted from a bot or designated user account (e.g., "Community Bot").

This setup ensures users receive timely responses and clear expectations during weekends, even when staff are unavailable.
