About the Instapaper integration

Anyone who relies on Instapaper to build a reading queue is used to saving links from a browser tab or a share sheet, not from an SMS conversation happening on a completely different device. Mobile Message connects to Instapaper through Zapier so a link a customer texts in gets picked up straight away, using the Add Page action to drop it into the queue without anyone copying and pasting it across manually between two apps.

That turns an inbound text into a small research assistant of sorts, catching an article or page someone mentions mid conversation and saving it to read once the thread has moved on to something else. It suits anyone who fields texts and reading recommendations in the same day and would rather not lose one to the other simply because they arrived by different routes, or spend the evening trying to remember which chat a good link came from.

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.

Instapaper + SMS: common questions

Can a text message save a link straight to my Instapaper queue?

Yes. Set up a Zap where an inbound text received in Mobile Message triggers the Add Page action in Instapaper, and any link a customer or contact texts you gets saved to your reading queue automatically.

Does this work for links sent in a reply to an existing conversation?

It does, since Mobile Message treats any inbound text the same way regardless of whether it's a first message or a reply, so a link included in a reply is picked up and saved to Instapaper just like any other inbound text.

How do I get Mobile Message feeding links into Instapaper?

You need a Mobile Message account, an Instapaper account and a Zapier account to bridge them, since the two don't talk to each other directly. Inside Zapier you select the inbound text trigger and the Add Page action, then switch the Zap on.
