About the OmniFocus integration

Freelancers, tradies and small consultancies who run their whole day out of OmniFocus rarely want to stop what they are doing to manually copy a customer message into their task list. A customer texts back with a question, a message fails to land, and turning that moment into a proper task falls to whoever remembers to do it later, if anyone does. Meanwhile the actual OmniFocus inbox, the one place work is supposed to start, stays empty of anything a phone conversation produced.

Zapier connects Mobile Message to OmniFocus so an incoming reply or a failed delivery creates a task in the OmniFocus inbox without anyone opening the app to type it in. A customer's response becomes an entry ready to be filed under the right project, and a bounced message becomes a follow up task before it is forgotten. For someone managing customers largely by text, that one habit closes a gap between what happens on the phone and what actually lands on the task list.

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.

OmniFocus + SMS: common questions

Can a customer's text reply automatically become an OmniFocus task?

Yes. Once Mobile Message and OmniFocus are connected through Zapier, an inbound text creates a new task in your OmniFocus inbox straight away, with the message included so you know exactly what to action next.

Does a failed SMS delivery show up anywhere if I am not watching the account?

It can. When a message fails to deliver, that update creates a task in OmniFocus automatically, so the follow up is waiting for you next time you open the app instead of getting lost.

What do I need before connecting OmniFocus to Mobile Message?

A Zapier account plus your OmniFocus and Mobile Message logins are all that is required. There is no coding involved, just choosing an inbound text or delivery update as the starting point and Create Task as the result.
