Is there a tool to get a WhatsApp message for labelled Gmail emails?

Direct Answer:
Sometimes you triage email on your desktop but want to be reminded of it later on your phone. Or you might want to notify a partner about an email without forwarding the whole thread. You need a simple gesture in your inbox that triggers a mobile alert.
Zapier allows you to use Gmail labels as triggers. You can set up a workflow where applying a label like Send to WhatsApp or Notify Partner triggers a WhatsApp message containing the email summary. This gives you a manual control switch to push specific content from your email environment to your mobile chat environment instantly.
How this automation works
- Trigger: A new email is added to a specific Gmail label.
- Action: Zapier extracts the email text and sends a WhatsApp message.
- Result: The email content appears in your chat app.
Why use this automation?
- Control flow: Manually select which emails generate alerts.
- Bridge devices: Move data from desktop inbox to mobile chat easily.
- Collaborate faster: Push email info to partners via chat instantly.
