How Do I Get Notified When a Contact Replies to a Text?
Set up browser or HubSpot workflow notifications for inbound SMS replies.
There are two ways to get notified when a contact sends an inbound text message:
Option 1: Browser Notifications
Enable browser-based notifications in the Message IQ web app settings. You will receive a browser alert when a new message arrives, as long as the app is open in a tab.
Option 2: HubSpot Workflow (Slack, Teams, or Email)
Build a HubSpot workflow to notify your team when a reply arrives:
- Set the enrollment trigger: Message IQ Reply is any of YES
- Enable re-enrollment so the workflow runs each time a new reply arrives
- Add a notification step to send a Slack, Teams, or email alert to the contact owner
- In the message body, include the Message Received Content property to show the actual text of the reply
- Add a final step: Set Property Value — Message IQ Reply = No to reset the trigger for future replies
