Sales managers who calculate commission on closed deals need those deals recorded the moment they're won, not chased up after someone remembers to update a spreadsheet at the end of the week, especially when payouts depend on getting the figures right. SimpleRev exists for that job, tracking, calculating and paying sales commissions for small and medium teams without a finance person doing the sums by hand.

Its Create Deal action only logs a deal once it's actually won, ignoring anything still in progress, and Update Deal lets existing deal information be corrected or added to as a sale moves forward. Both actions depend on something else confirming that a deal has actually closed or changed. For a sales manager, that distinction matters because commission only gets calculated once a deal shows up as won.

Connected to Mobile Message through Zapier, a customer's text reply can be that confirmation. When a customer texts back to confirm a purchase, that reply can trigger SimpleRev's Update Deal action, adding the confirmation to the deal record without a rep manually opening SimpleRev to note it down. It's a one-way link, the update runs from the text, and it doesn't send anything back to the customer on its own.
