Is there an easy way to be alerted on my phone when new submissions come in?
Direct Answer:
Relying on email notifications for urgent submissions is risky because they often get lost among spam and newsletters. If a customer fills out a Request for Quote or Emergency Support form you want that information to bypass your inbox and ring your phone. You need a channel that commands your attention.
Zapier enables you to set up SMS alerts or push notifications via the Zapier mobile app. When a critical submission comes in the system triggers a text message to your mobile number containing the name and message of the contact. This ensures that you are alerted immediately no matter where you are allowing for rapid response times.
How this automation works
- Trigger: A high priority form submission is received.
- Action: Zapier sends an SMS text message to your phone.
- Result: You are notified instantly with an intrusive alert.
Why use this automation?
- Bypass clutter: Skip the inbox and get direct alerts.
- Prioritize urgency: Set alerts only for critical forms.
- Improve agility: React to business events from anywhere.
