A tenant reports a leaking tap, and your property team needs to acknowledge the work before the contractor arrives. Rentec Direct can trigger a Zap when a new work order is added, so Mobile Message can send a prompt SMS without someone copying details between systems. The same approach can notify a tenant when a new tenant record is created or alert an owner when a property is added.

For property managers, a text can confirm that a request has been received, share the work order reference or tell an internal contact to review the job. New Tenant can create a Mobile Message contact, while New Work Order can send a message to a maintenance coordinator or an SMS list. If an inbound reply arrives, Mobile Message can create a message in Rentec Direct, giving staff a record to check inside the property management system.

You can choose the workflow that fits your operating process. Zapier passes the selected Rentec Direct fields into a Mobile Message action, or carries an incoming Mobile Message text into Rentec Direct's Create a Message action. This is an event-based connection rather than a continuous sync, so test your field mapping and message wording before switching it on.
