Notion

Text people from a Notion database, and keep their replies on the page.

Recipes

Two recipes to start from.

Set one up as written, or change it to fit how you work. The docs have the same recipes step by step.
01With Zapier

Text a client when their project is done

Starts when

When an item in a Notion database is updated

  1. Start a Zap with Notion’s trigger for an updated database item.
  2. Add a Filter by Zapier step so it goes on only when Status is Done.
  3. Add BlueBot’s Send Text action and map the Phone property to To.

The text it sends

Hi {{first_name}}, {{project}} is finished. I’ve sent the files to your email.

From your own number

02With Make

Keep replies on the page

Starts when

A text comes in (BlueBot’s message.received webhook)

  1. Start a scenario from BlueBot’s webhook for incoming texts.
  2. Search your Notion database for the page whose Phone matches the sender’s number.
  3. Add the words of the text to that page.
