Instil SMS Integration

Yes - Mobile Message does integrate with Instil!

A supporter replies to a text asking about a campaign, or texts in with updated contact details, and normally someone has to open Instil and enter that information by hand before it counts as part of the record. Mobile Message connects to Instil through Zapier, so an incoming text can update the constituent record itself.

When a supporter texts your organisation, that reply can create a new constituent record, open a ticket for the team to follow up on, or append fresh details to an existing constituent depending on what the message needs. For a nonprofit tracking major gifts and long-term relationships, that means a text from a donor or supporter is captured in Instil the moment it arrives, rather than waiting on someone to transcribe it after the fact. A gift officer juggling dozens of relationships gets one less thing to remember, because the record updates itself while they move on to the next call.

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

Instil + SMS: common questions

Can a text reply create a new constituent record in Instil?

Yes. Mobile Message's Inbound SMS Received trigger can be connected to Instil's Create Constituent action through Zapier, so a supporter texting your organisation for the first time is added to Instil automatically.

Can a supporter's text open a support ticket instead of a full record?

It can. The same Inbound SMS Received trigger can be pointed at Instil's Create Ticket action instead, so a question that comes in by text gets logged as a ticket for your team to work through.

How do I connect Mobile Message with Instil for constituent updates?

You need active Mobile Message and Instil accounts along with a Zapier account to build the Zap. Setup happens inside Zapier by choosing the trigger and action, with nothing to code or install.
