How to configure the New Message trigger in Zapier

Updated over 3 years ago

New Message is triggered when:

  • an email or SMS reminder is sent (outbound messages), and

  • when a customer replies to an email or SMS reminder (inbound messages).

You can setup different actions in Zapier for outbound and inbound messages by creating filters.

Create a filter for email or SMS messages

Use the Message Type field to filter on SMS or Email messages:

Create a filter for inbound messages (replies)

Use the Message Sender Type field to create a filter that selects only inbound or outbound messages.

  • Inbound messages (replies) have a Message Sender Type of "contact".

  • Outbound messages have a Message Sender Type that matches the name of the workflow that sent the message e.g. "Standard Process" or "Stop Work".
