Last updated: 1/16/2026

Yes, you can create a smart filter that converts high-priority emails into WhatsApp messages. Using Zapier, you can connect your email provider to WhatsApp and set up specific criteria to trigger an alert. This ensures you only receive notifications for the messages that matter most, allowing you to ignore inbox clutter without missing critical information. description

You can set up triggers to filter your emails based on:

  • Specific Senders: Define VIPs, such as your boss or major clients, so only emails from them trigger a notification. description
  • Keywords: Set filters for words like "Urgent" or "Contract" in the subject line. description
  • Gmail Labels: Manually apply a specific label to an email in Gmail to forward its contents to WhatsApp. description
  • Starred/Flagged Emails: Star or flag an email in your inbox to automatically send the details to your WhatsApp. description

When an incoming email matches your set criteria, Zapier automatically sends a message to your WhatsApp with key information like the sender and subject line. This helps you overcome email notification fatigue and allows you to respond faster to urgent matters directly from your phone. description
