Practical ways you can use Microsoft Outlook and Twilio
Get SMS notifications for new email leads
As a business owner, you can ensure timely follow-up by staying informed about new email leads. When a new email arrives in your Outlook inbox matching a specific set of criteria (like a subject or keyword), Zapier can send you an SMS through Twilio. This helps prioritize high-value leads and allows for faster response times.
Business Owner
Send SMS alerts for cancelled meetings
Streamline IT team coordination by receiving SMS alerts for changes to important meetings. When a meeting is cancelled in Microsoft Outlook, Zapier triggers an SMS alert via Twilio to notify IT team members right away, ensuring everyone stays updated and no one shows up for a now non-existent meeting.
ITRemind team members about meetings via SMS
Keep your team on track and prepared by automating meeting reminders. When a calendar event is about to start in Outlook, Zapier sends an SMS reminder through Twilio to designated team members. This automation reduces missed meetings and increases overall team accountability.
