A scheduled WebJob finishes its overnight run, or a Git deployment to your Windows Azure Web Site lands in production, and the only proof is a status you would have to log in to check. For teams running background jobs and frequent deployments, that gap between something happening and someone actually knowing about it causes real delays, especially when a failed job needs a fast fix.

Zapier connects Azure Web Apps to Mobile Message so those events become text messages instead of dashboard notifications nobody opens in time. A triggered WebJob run completing, whether it succeeds or fails, can text whoever is on call. A web app deployment completing, from Git, Mercurial or Dropbox, can text the person who needs to confirm the release looks right, straight away instead of after they next check their inbox.

This suits small development and operations teams who would rather get a text than watch a dashboard. Nothing here changes how Azure works, it just adds an SMS layer on top of two events you already care about, so the right person hears about a deployment or a job run the moment it happens rather than well after.
