Design leads running a Zeplin workspace tend to live between two problems, work sitting in review for too long and feedback landing somewhere nobody checks straight away. A designer uploads a new screen version late in the day and the reviewer does not open Zeplin until the next morning, so a deadline slips by a few hours that could easily have been avoided. Linking Zeplin to Mobile Message through Zapier gives that team a way to push a text the moment something needs eyes on it.

A new screen version can text the assigned reviewer so the review happens the same afternoon rather than the next day. A new note left on a screen can text the designer who owns it, and an updated project can text the wider team when a status changes from draft to ready. The team keeps using Zeplin exactly as before and just gets a text alert on top of the events that already matter to them.

The link also runs the other way for teams who want it. A client or stakeholder can text back after getting a review request, and that reply can be logged as a note directly on the relevant screen in Zeplin, so the feedback ends up attached to the design rather than lost in a phone thread.
