How you can utilise Zapier SMS for your business
Zapier SMS supports integration-driven use cases where SMS is triggered automatically by activity in other systems.
Notifications
Businesses use Zapier to send appointment reminders directly from Google Calendar, ensuring customers receive timely notifications without manual follow-up. E-commerce teams trigger order confirmations, shipping updates, and delivery notifications from platforms such as Shopify or WooCommerce, helping customers stay informed throughout the purchase journey.
Sales
Sales teams automate follow-up messages from CRMs like HubSpot or Salesforce, ensuring consistent communication after form submissions, demos, or deal updates. When replies are received, Zapier can notify internal teams in Slack, enabling faster response times without monitoring inboxes manually.
Marketing
Marketing and operations teams also use Zapier SMS to send abandoned cart messages triggered by e-commerce events, or to capture form submissions from tools like Typeform and automatically send confirmation SMS. For workflows that require richer content, SMS automation can sit alongside channels such as MMS messaging, depending on message type and use case.
