About the Zip Archive API integration

Sending someone five separate files by text is not practical, and forwarding them one link at a time is the kind of manual step that gets skipped when things are busy and nobody notices until a customer asks where the rest of their files are. Zip Archive API sits inside a Zap and compresses those files into a single zip archive, or extracts one back out when a bundle needs unpacking first, so there's one clean file behind the link instead of a scattered handful spread across several messages.

Once that archive exists, Mobile Message can text a link straight to it, whether the trigger is a paid order in Shopify or an overdue invoice in Xero. The customer gets one message with one link, and nobody on the team has to zip files by hand before sending it, which matters most on the days when there's no time to do it manually anyway.

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.

Zip Archive API + SMS: common questions

Can I text a customer a zipped file after an order is paid?

Yes. A paid order in Shopify can start a Zap where Zip Archive API compresses the related files into one archive, and Mobile Message then texts a link to that zip so the customer receives everything in a single message.

Can Zip Archive API unzip a file before I send a text about it?

It can extract files from an existing zip archive as a step in a Zap, though most SMS use cases go the other way, compressing several files first so Mobile Message can text one tidy link instead of several.

What's needed to link Zip Archive API with Mobile Message?

You need accounts with both Zip Archive API and Mobile Message, plus a Zapier account since that's what connects them. From there you choose a trigger, add the compress or extract step, and finish with the Mobile Message action, no code required.
