I actually tried a version of this a few years ago with @IFTTT and it was a huge improvement. I used Gmail to move the targeted people into a label. I then used IFTTT to look for entries into that label and send via PushBullet (but could do SMS through email just as easily)

Ooh, that’s interesting. I love how helpful IFTTT is. So you tried it, what did you end up sticking with? Did you go back to email on your device?

oh, no, big lesson learned. I turned off all email notifications off FOREVER. The critical people in my life moved to SMS so that trick really wasn't needed as much any more
