A receipt is parsed by Receipts To Sheets while the person responsible for expenses is away from their spreadsheet. If that receipt needs quick attention, waiting for a later review can make approval and record keeping harder. A Zapier workflow can watch for a new receipt and use Mobile Message to send an SMS to the relevant staff member.

The message can highlight that a receipt has been created and include the details that Receipts To Sheets makes available to the Zap. Mobile Message can send an individual SMS, send SMS to a list, create a contact or add a contact to a list. That makes it possible to alert an accounts person, notify an expense-review group, or create a contact for a later messaging workflow.

Receipts To Sheets is primarily a trigger app in this connection, since its supplied list contains New Receipt and no actions. The useful result is therefore a clear notification rather than an attempted record update. The workflow is configured through Zapier with both accounts connected. It is one directional and does not imply that Mobile Message writes back into the spreadsheet.
