About the SimpleBackups integration

A backup finishes overnight and the person responsible only finds out the next morning when they happen to check the dashboard, by which point a failed run could have gone unnoticed for hours. Linking SimpleBackups to Mobile Message through Zapier means that result reaches a phone as a text the moment the backup happens, not whenever someone next logs in.

A new backup completing in SimpleBackups can trigger a text confirming the job ran, giving whoever is on call a record without opening the dashboard. The link also works the other way. A reply sent to Mobile Message by the person on call can resume a paused backup schedule inside SimpleBackups, so getting things running again does not need a laptop open.

For a small team managing server and database backups without a dedicated ops desk, this means confirmation and control both arrive through the same phone that is already carrying the rest of the day's messages, rather than a separate dashboard that only gets checked occasionally.

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.

SimpleBackups + SMS: common questions

Can SimpleBackups text me when a new backup runs?

Yes. The New Backups trigger can start a Zap that sends a text through Mobile Message as soon as a backup completes, so whoever is on call has confirmation without logging into the dashboard.

Can I resume a paused backup by replying to a text?

Yes. Mobile Message's Inbound SMS Received trigger can fire the Resume Backup action in SimpleBackups, so a reply from the person on call can get a paused backup schedule running again.

What is involved in linking SimpleBackups alerts to Mobile Message?

You connect both accounts through Zapier and pick the triggers and actions you want, such as New Backups paired with Send SMS. No coding is needed, just the two accounts and a few minutes to set the Zap up.
