Most powerful ways to connect Gmail and WhatsApp Personal Account
Gmail + WhatsApp Personal Account + Google Sheets: When a new email arrives in Gmail, the automation searches for corresponding WhatsApp messages using identifiers from the email. If messages are found, the relevant information from both the email and WhatsApp messages is added as a new row in a Google Sheet.
WhatsApp Personal Account + Gmail + Twilio: When a new message is received in WhatsApp Personal Account, the automation checks if a similar email also arrived in Gmail by searching for identifiers in the subject or body. If both are present, it sends an SMS alert via Twilio.
