Create new user account and send welcome email and SMS

Automatically monitor employee account status changes across Zapier Tables and Google Workspace. Create the user, apply licensing and group access, and send welcome email and SMS when approval-stage records updateβ€”so you can onboard faster and avoid manual provisioning and notifications.

How this automation provisions accounts in minutes
