Question 1

How do I get a WhatsApp message when an important email arrives?

Accepted Answer

Use the Gmail poll for new emails trigger, optionally filtered by label or search query, then connect a WhatsApp send text message node. Map the subject and sender into the message body so the alert is meaningful.

Question 2

Can a WhatsApp message send an email through Gmail?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Start with the WhatsApp receive message operation and wire it into a Gmail send email message node. Map the message text into the email body and set the recipient from your workflow logic.

Question 3

Can I filter which emails trigger a WhatsApp notification?

Accepted Answer

The Gmail trigger accepts a search query and label filter, so you only get notified about emails that match. This keeps WhatsApp alerts focused on what actually matters rather than every inbox message.

Question 4

How do I forward an email attachment to WhatsApp?

Accepted Answer

Fetch the email with the fetch email message operation to access its attachments, then pass the file to the WhatsApp send document or send image operation depending on the file type.

Question 5

Can the workflow draft a reply instead of sending one?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Use the Gmail create email draft operation so a human can review before anything goes out. The WhatsApp message can supply context that the draft body is built from.
