TextSpot + Slack
Slack is where your team lives — TextSpot is where your customers do. Through Zapier the two talk: route incoming customer texts into a Slack channel, and fire off SMS alerts straight from Slack. Your team never has to leave their workspace to stay on top of texting.

Slack + TextSpot, answered
Can my whole team see incoming texts?
Yes — route Incoming Message into a shared Slack channel and everyone sees replies in real time.
Can reps reply to customers from Slack?
You can trigger an outbound text from a Slack message (e.g. a /zap push), and customer replies route back into Slack.
Do I need to be a Slack admin?
Usually just permission to add an app to your workspace. Zapier walks you through authorizing it.
Will this get noisy?
Use Filter by Zapier to only post the messages you care about — by keyword, after-hours, or specific numbers.
Does it cost extra?
TextSpot’s side is included; you just need Zapier. You only pay for texts you send — replies are free.
