A strategy dashboard is only useful if the numbers on it match what's really happening on the ground, and SMS activity is often one of the clearest signals a team has of whether a customer touchpoint is working. Feeding a delivery status update into Cascade's Update Measure Current Value action keeps a KPI current without someone manually copying a result across each week, chasing a spreadsheet or an inbox for the latest figure.

Through Zapier, this runs one way, Mobile Message's Delivery Status Updated trigger can update a measure, or an inbound reply can update an action's current progress, but Cascade itself has no way to send anything back out as a text. The same one-directional link can fill in Update Measure Historical Values too, useful for backfilling a run of past delivery figures in one go. For a team already tracking measures and actions in Cascade, it turns SMS outcomes into another input the strategy plan updates on its own.
