About the Buddy Punch integration

Shop floor managers and small business operators live in Buddy Punch, tracking employees as they clock in, clock out, and request time off. Real-time visibility into your workforce means you can make quick decisions about coverage, staffing adjustments, and schedule updates. Most teams running Buddy Punch need fast communication with their people when shifts change or when they need to acknowledge new roster arrangements.

Mobile Message makes this instant. When an employee is added to your system, you can automatically send them their first shift details by SMS. When someone clocks out, a message might confirm their hours or remind them about tomorrow. When punch records are edited, affected team members get notified immediately. Each staffing event in Buddy Punch becomes a trigger for targeted SMS, so nothing gets missed and no one has to chase updates manually.

This works especially well for hospitality, retail, field services, and any industry where your workers spend most of their time away from their desks. A quick text message reaches them wherever they are, keeping operations running smoothly, keeping morale high by showing them they are valued, and removing the need for constant email or phone chasing.

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