Frequently Asked Questions about Email by Zapier + SMS by Zapier integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Email by Zapier and SMS by Zapier
How do I set up an integration between Email by Zapier and SMS by Zapier?
To set up an integration, you need to create a Zap that uses Email by Zapier as the trigger app and SMS by Zapier as the action app. Start by selecting 'New Inbound Email' as the trigger event from the Email app, then choose 'Send SMS' from the SMS app for the action.
What kind of email data can trigger an SMS in this integration?
You can configure the integration to trigger an SMS when a new email is received at a custom @zapiermail.com address. You can filter these triggers based on custom subject lines, sender details, or specific content within the email body to suit your needs.
Can we customize the SMS message that gets sent using this integration?
Yes, when setting up your action, you have options to customize your SMS content. You can include static text as well as dynamic information pulled from key parts of incoming emails such as subject lines or specific body content.
Is there a way to include attachments in emails with these integrations?
While our integration does not support sending attachments directly via SMS, you could include links in your email that are delivered in your SMS notifications if necessary.
How frequently do triggers and actions occur between Email and SMS using Zapier?
The frequency of triggers depends on your Zapier plan (e.g., every 5 minutes for paid plans). Once a relevant email arrives, our system processes it swiftly to ensure an immediate or near-immediate text message is sent thereafter.
What should I do if my emails are not triggering any text messages?
Ensure your Zap is set up correctly with valid criteria like correct email addresses and accurate filters. Also, check if your Zaps are turned on and if you've not reached any limits associated with your account plan.
Is it possible to send international messages via this integration?
Yes, our SMS service supports sending messages internationally. However, be mindful of varying costs which depend on destination countries alongside compliance with local regulations regarding text messaging services.
Supported triggers and actions
Zapier helps you create workflows that connect your apps to automate repetitive tasks. A trigger is an event that starts a workflow, and an action is an event a Zap performs.
