The Simple Airtable + Zapier Stack We Use to Run Paid Creative Production

/the-simple-airtable-zapier-stack-we-use-to-run-paid-creative-production/

We use a lean, repeatable stack for managing UGC at scale:

– Airtable: Tracks every asset
– Zapier: Moves data, triggers Slack updates
– Frame.io: For versioning and feedback
– Slack: Internal approvals
– Meta Ads Manager: Deployment + performance feedback
