An HR manager approves leave, welcomes a new employee or closes out a departing team member, and the right people need a clear update. PeopleForce can trigger a Zap when an Employee Created event, Leave Request Approved event or Employee Terminated event occurs. Mobile Message can then send a plain text notification to the selected recipient.

This connection helps HR teams communicate important workforce events without manually copying details between systems. A new employee message can share first-day information, while an approved leave message can notify a manager or employee. An employment termination event can alert an authorised administrator to complete a time-sensitive process. You can also use an inbound Mobile Message text to create a PeopleForce task for an employee when a follow-up request arrives.

The workflows are configured in Zapier as separate one-directional automations. You select the PeopleForce event, the Mobile Message message or inbound trigger and the fields each step needs. This gives HR teams a practical SMS alert path without suggesting that every employee change is synchronised automatically.
