Direct Answer:

We all have email blindness where we subconsciously ignore the red badge on our email app. But we rarely ignore a WhatsApp message. If you are struggling to stay on top of important communications because you are desensitized to email alerts you need to change the channel.

Zapier solves this by re routing critical alerts to WhatsApp. By setting strict filters such as Subject contains Approve or From CEO you ensure that only the messages that require action break through to your chat app. This restores the urgency of the notification and helps you stay responsive to what matters.

How this automation works

• Trigger: A high importance email is detected.
• Action: Zapier sends a WhatsApp alert to your phone.
• Result: You are reliably notified via a channel you trust.

Why use this automation?

• Overcome fatigue: Bypass email notification blindness.
• Ensure action: Get alerted in a way that prompts a response.
• Stay reliable: Never let an important request slip through the cracks.
