About the Motion integration

A customer texts back with a question and the reply sits in an inbox while the person meant to see it is in back to back meetings, so the follow up never gets scheduled and the conversation goes cold. Motion is built to stop exactly that kind of task falling through, but only if something puts the task there in the first place. Zapier connects Mobile Message to Motion so an inbound reply creates that task automatically.

When a customer sends an inbound text, Mobile Message can create a task in Motion straight away, complete with enough detail for whoever picks it up to know what the reply was about. Motion then does what it already does well, fitting the task into the day around existing meetings and deadlines instead of leaving it as an unread message.

Delivery problems get the same treatment. If a message fails to reach someone, the delivery status update from Mobile Message can update the matching task in Motion, so a failed text does not sit unnoticed next to tasks that already went out. A new project in Motion still starts the normal way, but the tasks that depend on a customer reply or a delivery result no longer rely on someone remembering to add them by hand.

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.

Motion + SMS: common questions

Can a customer's text reply automatically create a task in Motion?

Yes, an inbound text received in Mobile Message can start a Zap that creates a task in Motion, so the reply is waiting to be scheduled into someone's day rather than sitting unread in a phone.

Can Motion update a task if a text message fails to deliver?

Yes, a delivery status update from Mobile Message can start a Zap that updates the matching task in Motion, so a failed message gets flagged for follow up rather than being missed entirely.

How do I connect Mobile Message to Motion for this?

There is no native integration, so the two link through a Zap, with a Mobile Message account providing the inbound text or delivery update and a Motion account receiving the task that gets created or updated.
