How to set up Email to SMS Automation workflows?
Describe the email trigger
Start with the email event you want to act on, such as a new message, a labeled message, or a message from a specific sender. Jotform AI turns that plain-language request into an email to SMS workflow.
Add the text message action
Tell Jotform AI who should receive the SMS and what the message should communicate. The workflow can be shaped around notification, escalation, or request-for-response needs.
Connect follow-up handling
Include the downstream result you want after the text is sent, such as routing for review, saving the alert details, or notifying another team member for the next action.
