An employee books a desk before arriving at the office, and a useful reminder can prevent confusion at the start of the day. Envoy for Desks can trigger a Zap when a New Reservation is created or when a Reservation Started event occurs. Mobile Message can then send a plain text message with the desk or arrival details.

This connection helps workplace teams acknowledge bookings, remind employees when their reservation begins and notify a coordinator when a reservation ends. A Reservation Ended event could prompt an operational message, while an inbound Mobile Message text could cancel an upcoming reservation when your process allows that action. The fields passed from Envoy can be mapped into the SMS in Zapier, including the selected user and reservation information.

The workflow is controlled by the event you select, rather than being a continuous booking sync. It gives office managers a straightforward way to put desk activity into SMS, and it can reduce the need for staff to check the desk system repeatedly.
