Send welcome email and SMS to new participants

Create and update when new participant IDs appear or contact details qualify or messages send successfullyβso you can send welcome emails, send welcome texts, and log outreach records without manual outreach tracking.
How this automation preserves welcome outreach records
When new rows appear from your eligibility query, missed onboarding can slow engagement and follow-up. This automation looks up participant contact details, normalizes phone numbers, sends welcome email and SMS, and adds a tracker rowβso your team can audit outreach without chasing contacts.

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 β 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.
