A data subject request arrives while your privacy team is handling other deadlines, and the acknowledgement still needs to be sent promptly. Transcend can start a Zap when a new data subject request is submitted. Mobile Message can then send a plain text confirmation to the requester or notify the responsible team member.

New DSR Received is useful for acknowledging receipt, advising the requester that the privacy team will review the request, or alerting an internal contact that work has arrived. The SMS should contain only the information appropriate for a text message and should avoid exposing sensitive request details. This workflow can give people a clear first response without requiring staff to copy information between systems.

Transcend has no listed actions, so the useful direction is from Transcend into Mobile Message. The connection is built through Zapier and does not create a two-way update process. Map the requester’s mobile number when it is available, choose the wording for the acknowledgement and test the Zap with controlled data. Your team should also check consent, identity and privacy requirements before sending notifications. This is a focused way to reduce the manual chase after a privacy request is received.
