A customer ends up with a text message that contains a link straight to a picture of exactly what they need to see, an invoice, a ticket, a page captured at just the right moment. That is the effect Canvasflare and Mobile Message create together through Zapier, one turning a URL or a webpage into an image, the other turning that image into a text on a phone. Canvasflare can take a screenshot of a given URL or render an image from a webpage screenshot, and either result becomes a link Mobile Message can text out straight away.

Because Canvasflare sits in the middle of a Zap, it needs a trigger from elsewhere to start the process, an order paid in Shopify, an overdue invoice in Xero, a new response in Google Forms. Canvasflare then captures the screenshot or image, and Mobile Message sends the resulting link by text. The customer never has to log into anything or open an attachment, they just get a text with a link ready to view.
