Teams that organise work in Mingdao often need to get an important update in front of people who are away from the workspace. A new post, task, calendar event or group can contain information that should not wait for the next time someone opens Mingdao. A targeted SMS can put the next action in the right person’s hands.

Through Zapier, Mingdao can trigger Mobile Message when a new post, task or calendar event is created. You can send an SMS to an individual, send an SMS to a list, create a Mobile Message contact or add someone to a list. For example, a new task can alert an on-call worker, while a calendar event can remind attendees of its start time.

The connection can also create useful records in Mingdao after someone texts your Mobile Message number. An inbound SMS can create a task or post for the team to review, while a delivery status update can create a task for follow-up. These are separate, one-directional Zaps rather than a live sync, so each workflow has a clear event and result.
