Accounting and CPA service providers often manage client communication alongside their ERP work. CA Office Automation can start a Zap when a new email is created, giving your team a way to send a Mobile Message SMS while the relevant email activity is still fresh. The result is a quicker prompt for a client, colleague or internal team member without relying on someone to notice and forward the email manually.

A New Email trigger can send a plain text SMS containing a concise notification or follow-up instruction. It can also create a contact in Mobile Message or add an existing person to an SMS list, depending on how your office manages recipients. Mobile Message’s actions are available through Zapier, so the email event starts the workflow and the selected SMS action completes it. CA Office Automation’s New Department action is not a client communication action, so it is not used as a standalone SMS outcome here. Use the connection for specific email-driven alerts where a text message is genuinely useful.
