A customer clicks a link inside an email campaign and, within seconds, gets a text following up on exactly what they were looking at, rather than waiting for the next scheduled newsletter to bring them back. That's the kind of outcome Elastic Email and Mobile Message can produce together through Zapier, using the contact and campaign activity Elastic Email already tracks to trigger an SMS at the moment it matters most.

When a new contact is added to your Elastic Email account, a welcome text can go out alongside the usual email sequence, reaching someone before they've even opened their inbox. A specific link clicked in a campaign can trigger a follow up text tied to that interest, and because opt-outs need to work the same way across channels, a contact who unsubscribes from email can also be added to the Mobile Message unsubscribe list automatically.

The connection runs one way in each case, either an Elastic Email event starting a text, or Mobile Message hearing from a customer and updating Elastic Email in response. A reply to an SMS, for instance, can add that person as a new contact in Elastic Email, so a conversation that started by text still shows up where the rest of the marketing activity lives.

Integrating Elastic Email with Mobile Message can streamline communication by allowing businesses to send timely SMS alerts alongside their email campaigns. For example, when a promotional email is sent through Elastic Email, a follow-up SMS could be dispatched via Mobile Message, ensuring recipients receive important information through their preferred communication channel, enhancing engagement and response rates.
