1.Monitors new inbound SMS
Integrate Twilio and messaging tools to capture inbound SMS details for your configured phone number.
Capture and reply to inbound SMS from families
Automatically capture inbound SMS across Twilio to log every family message. Create and update replies when inbound message arrives, messages request help, or keywords show a need response—so you can respond fast, keep records current, and notify staff without manual casework.
How this automation drafts and routes family support replies
When a new family SMS arrives, delays can slow responses and create scattered case notes. This automation captures texts, stores message details in Airtable, generates an AI reply in ChatGPT (OpenAI), and sends the right follow up through Twilio or Gmail—so your team can respond faster and escalate complex items.

Without Zapier, we would have needed well over 100 employees today just to do what we're doing. We would have been out of business by now.
David Laderberg, VP of Sales
Without having automation, we would have to at least be double our size. Doubling is a bit of a euphemism — I think we would have died or fallen back into oblivion.
Marcelo Lebre, Co-Founder
Zapier helps us close far above 50% more deals than we would without it. It is a key element of our overall strategy and, therefore, of our sales pitch.
Raphael Bochner, Founder and CIO
Zapier gives us unlimited flexibility and creativity. With Zapier, you're like an artist with a blank canvas. I don't know what we'd do without it.
Rishi Shah, CEO and Co-Founder
We don't just want to patch holes; we want to build scalable, future-proof systems. Zapier is helping us do that.
Allen Lai, Head of Customer Experience
We've been able to scale our operations while staying lean. Zapier lets us do more without needing more people.
