About the ahead integration

A customer sends a text asking about your service, and instead of that message staying stuck in your phone, it can land straight away as a new entry on your ahead landing page for the team to see. ahead is built to be the information hub that keeps everyone up to date, but it only works if what customers are actually saying gets added to it.

Connected to Mobile Message through Zapier, an inbound text or a change in a message's delivery status can create a new external activity on your ahead landing page automatically. Nothing is read back out of ahead into Mobile Message, the connection only pushes what happens by text into the activity feed your team already checks, so a message does not go unnoticed just because nobody happened to open your phone. It is a simple way to make sure a reply by text still shows up somewhere the whole team can see.

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.

ahead + SMS: common questions

Can a customer text create an activity on my ahead page?

Yes. Once ahead and Mobile Message are connected through Zapier, an inbound text can create a new external activity on your ahead landing page straight away, so the team sees it without anyone forwarding the message on.

Does a delivery status update also show up in ahead?

Yes, a change in a message's delivery status can be set up to create its own external activity in ahead, separate from the inbound text automation, so you can track message outcomes on the same page if you want to.

How do I get ahead working with Mobile Message?

You connect your ahead and Mobile Message accounts inside Zapier, then choose Inbound SMS Received or Delivery Status Updated as the trigger and Create External Activity as the action. No coding is required to get it running.
