A vendor score drops below your chosen threshold while the security team is handling other risks. Someone may need to open UpGuard, interpret the event and manually alert a manager before the issue receives attention. A targeted SMS can make a serious change visible without requiring the team to keep a dashboard open.

With Zapier, UpGuard can start Mobile Message workflows for events such as New Data Leak, Vendor Score Below Threshold, New Identity Breach or Organization Score Drop. Send SMS can alert a security lead, while Create Contact can prepare a person for future notifications when the event contains suitable details. A separate Zap can use New Monitored Vendor with Send SMS to notify a team member that monitoring has begun.

UpGuard supplies the risk event and Mobile Message performs the selected action. The connection does not replace UpGuard monitoring or maintain matching records between services. Keep alerts concise, avoid placing sensitive information in the message and map the event details that help a recipient decide what to do next.
