A customer arrives to collect a reserved item, but the team still needs to remember the loan details and the follow-up message. Reftab users can connect those moments to Mobile Message through Zapier. A new reservation or loan can prompt a plain text SMS, while a new asset can create a contact or notify a list when equipment becomes available.

Use the New Reservation trigger for collection instructions, access details or a reminder about the scheduled handover. New Loan can send the borrower a message with the expected return information. If Reftab creates a new loanee, Mobile Message can create a contact for future communication. These automations are one-directional, so a Zap responds to a defined Reftab event rather than continuously synchronising records. They are useful for equipment hire, schools, workplaces and other teams that track physical items and need customers or staff to receive clear information at the right point in the lending process.
