About the 3rdShift integration

A 3rdShift task is completed while your team is focused elsewhere, and the result may need to prompt a customer or colleague immediately. The Task Completed trigger can start a Mobile Message SMS with a short update, a next-step reminder, or a notification that work is ready for review. This puts the useful outcome in front of the recipient without requiring someone to watch the 3rdShift workspace.

The connection uses Zapier, with 3rdShift starting the workflow and Mobile Message carrying out the message action. The Run a Team Member action can also be started after an inbound SMS or delivery status update, but that is only sensible where a text should request another piece of work from a named 3rdShift specialist. These are separate one-directional Zaps, not a native integration or a shared task system. Keep completed-task messages focused on the result and map only the recipient details needed for delivery. Test the task output and message wording before using the automation for customer-facing updates.

A Zapier account and subscription is required for this integration. Please view Zapier's pricing page for further information.

Tip: If you're simply looking to send a message to all your contacts, you may not need an integration at all. Most platforms let you export your contacts — you can then import them into Mobile Message and send an SMS to everyone in just a few clicks.
