Send SMS Messages via Email

Twilio is a great service to get a phone number that can receive SMS messages in dozens of countries around the world. With Zapier's help, you can now get those SMS messages in your email inbox, no phone required.

How it Works

Whenever you receive a new SMS message at your Twilio number, Zapier will fetch it, copy it into a new email message, and send it to your inbox.

What You Need

1. A Twilio account, with a phone number activated and enough credit to send messages
2. Your email address

Got that? Then let's get started.

Ever wanted to send an SMS message via email? With this zap, you'll finally be able to do just that.

How it Works

Zapier has a built-in email tool that'll give you a unique email address just for sending SMS messages. You'll copy that email address, send a new message with the phone number of your recipient as the subject and the SMS message as the body of the email. Zapier will turn that email into an SMS, and send it out for you on your Twilio account.

What You Need

1. A Twilio account with an activated phone number, and enough credit to send SMS messages
2. An email account

Email is arguably the best thing since the printing press, but who has the time to stop and read every incoming message? This Zapier integration solves that problem by reading your emails out loud to you on a phone call through Twilio. It's a simple way to stay on top of your most important messages without ever looking at a screen.

Note: As part of the setup, you create a Zapier email address, and every email that comes to that address will be turned into a phone call with this integration. You can set your email app up to automatically forward your most important email messages to this address so you'll get them in phone calls.

How It Works

1. Email by Zapier receives a new message
2. Twilio sends the message to your phone as a spoken message
