Webinar Synopsis

AI has generated plenty of excitement, but most associations are still asking a more practical question: what can we actually do with it? 

In this webinar we’ll show how using Zapier AI to connect workflows can help process inbound emails, route information to the right systems, support communication, and potentially extend into places like online community engagement.

Rather than talking about AI as some big future-state transformation, we will look at what it can do right now in ways that are grounded, manageable, and relevant to associations. 

If your team is curious about AI but wary of hype, this session will help you see what practical adoption can actually look like with iMIS as your system of record.

  1. Email-based event registration: Allow users to register for events by replying to an email, with the system reading sender details and processing questions via AI.
  2. Inbound email routing: Read and classify emails to an info@ inbox, routing them based on content.
  3. Integration with LLMs: Explore connecting large language models to iMIS for data processing and updates.
  4. AI-driven data management: Change member types automatically or provide a preview before changes are made. 

Webinar Promise / Positioning Blurb
