About the 8xpand integration

You are reviewing a new starter’s details in 8xpand while another task is already waiting. Copying employee information into a separate messaging system can delay a welcome text or leave the first day’s instructions unsent. A Zapier connection to Mobile Message lets a new employee record in 8xpand start an SMS workflow.

When a New Employee is created, Mobile Message can send a text to the employee using the phone number and other fields supplied by 8xpand. A welcome message can confirm that their details were received, share a first-day reminder, or direct them to the right contact. The workflow can be adjusted around the information held in your employee record.

This keeps the first communication close to the moment an employee is added, without retyping data between systems. It is useful for teams using 8xpand for HR administration who want a simple, visible message alongside their records. Set up the Zap in Zapier with your 8xpand and Mobile Message accounts, then test the wording before turning it on.

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.
