Webflow submission - SMS - Airtable flow

I have a webflow form submission that I would like to kick-off a series of daily sms messages which I have in a table in Airtable (1 message each subsequent day from the day a user signs up), and send these from my Twilio account.

 

If anyone has an idea of how to set this up in Zapier and how to format the Zaps and/or Airtable/Twilio side of the house that would be great to hear!

Hi @Positivity,

This should a fairly easy configuration, all you have to do is use a delay action.

The process will look something like this:

  • New form submission
  • Get an Airtable record
  • Send an SMS in Twilio
  • Delay 1 day
  • Get an Airtable record
  • Send an SMS in Twilio
  • Delay 1 day
  • ….(continue this way)

Hope this helps.

 

Thanks! But this seems like I’d have to hardcode and add a delay for each step. Is there no way to create a loop function in some way to send 1x / day but reference the next subsequent row in Airtable per user? Say I wanted to send a message every day for the whole year, it seems your suggestion would add 365 “delay” steps + airtable + twilio - unless I’m missing something!

Hi @Positivity 

Check out this video about creating a looping Zap that you can hopefully draw inspiration from...

Hey @Positivity,

Since this was a little while ago, I wanted to check in to see if you’d managed to set up the desired workflow, or whether you still needed help here?

Please let us know!
