2. Configuring the Email Parser in Pabbly Connect

3. Applying Filters to Manage Email Notifications
To ensure you only receive important notifications, apply filters within Pabbly Connect. This step is crucial for managing which emails trigger WhatsApp notifications. Select the ‘Filter’ action to set conditions based on the sender’s email address.
Map the ‘From’ label from the captured email to the filter condition. Set the filter type to ‘equals to’ and enter the specific email address you want to track. This way, only emails from this address will trigger WhatsApp notifications.

Next, configure the action step to send WhatsApp notifications. Choose the WhatsApp Cloud API as your action application in Pabbly Connect. This API allows you to send messages directly to WhatsApp.
