About the Alpaca integration

Traders often want instant updates on their trading activity without logging into their broker platform every few minutes. With Alpaca and Mobile Message, you can pull your current trading positions and order list into automatic SMS alerts, keeping you informed throughout the trading day.

Alpaca gives you direct API access to your positions, orders, and account details. By connecting to Mobile Message, you can trigger SMS checks on your portfolio on a schedule or from other events. When you need a quick summary of your open positions, an SMS can deliver the data directly to your phone. Order confirmations and status updates can also be texted to you or your team instantly.

This is particularly powerful if you're automating your trading workflow. You can receive SMS confirmations when orders execute, alerts when positions change, or regular portfolio updates on a schedule. Trading decisions stay fast and informed when the data reaches you immediately via SMS, and you're not juggling multiple tabs and logins.

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.

Alpaca + SMS: common questions

Can Alpaca data be included in an SMS message body?

Yes. Zapier can extract data from Alpaca like position size, account balance, or order status and insert it into your SMS text. This way, your SMS includes live portfolio information without needing a separate login or platform check.

How often can I check my Alpaca positions via SMS?

Zapier supports polling on various schedules (hourly, daily, etc.) or triggering from other events. You can set up an SMS to check your positions every few hours, or trigger it manually when you need an update. This keeps trading data fresh without constant manual checks.

How do I set up Alpaca and Mobile Message together via Zapier?

Create a Zap with Alpaca (List Positions or List Orders) as your trigger or action, and Mobile Message's Send SMS as your action. Authorise both accounts, map the Alpaca data you want in the SMS, select your sender ID, and activate. Zapier will then pull Alpaca data and send it as SMS on schedule.
