Is there a way to send myself a quick note on WhatsApp every time someone emails me?

Direct Answer:
Sometimes you do not need the full email content just a quick ping to know that someone has reached out. Standard notifications vanish after you swipe them but a chat message stays in your history until you address it. You need a persistent reminder system that acts as a to do list.
Zapier allows you to send yourself a WhatsApp note for every new email. This creates a running log in your chat history of people who have contacted you. You can use this as a quick reference list to scan through and see who needs a reply treating your WhatsApp chat like a lightweight CRM or task list.
How this automation works
- Trigger: You receive an email from a contact.
- Action: Zapier sends a short note to your own WhatsApp.
- Result: You have a persistent chat log of incoming inquiries.
Why use this automation?
- Create a trail: Keep a visible history of who contacted you.
- Persistent reminders: Chat messages do not disappear like push notifications.
- Quick triage: Glance at your chat to see if you need to open email.
