A new customer or task appears in OneDesk while your service team is already handling other work. If nobody sees the notification promptly, a customer update or internal handover can sit unnoticed. Sending a focused SMS from that event gives the right person a clear prompt without asking them to keep OneDesk open.

OneDesk can trigger a Zap when a New User/Customer, New Task/Ticket or New Comments event occurs. It can also start one when a Project Updated event is recorded. Mobile Message can send an SMS to a staff member or customer, create a contact or add a contact to a list. These workflows are useful for urgent ticket alerts, new customer notifications and reminders that a project has changed.

Choose the OneDesk fields that make the text useful, such as the customer name, task title or project information. The automation is configured in Zapier and runs in one direction from the selected OneDesk event to the Mobile Message action. It is not a native integration and does not keep OneDesk and Mobile Message records synchronised.
