Proposal sent in HubSpot triggers an instant follow-up text

When a deal stage moves to 'Proposal Sent' in HubSpot, the sales agent finds the contact in Salesmsg, sends a personalised follow-up text, tags the contact for sequence tracking, and schedules a follow-up call in Google Calendar — all within about a minute of the stage change. Reps no longer need to remember the follow-up text.

What your team gets back — two angles: what you stop doing manually, and what that's worth.

With Actionist

What your agent runs for you

  • Sales
    25 min / week
    Manual follow-up text after each CRM update

    Reps switch from the CRM to Salesmsg, compose a message, and send it manually — adding 5 minutes to every stage change, and often forgetting.

    Sales Agent
    0 min
    Agent texts every deal automatically at the right stage

    When a deal stage changes in the CRM, the agent sends a personalised SMS within about a minute — no rep needs to remember the follow-up text.

  • Marketing
    20 min / week
    Manual list validation before each broadcast

    Marketing exports the contact list, manually checks for landlines or bad numbers, updates the list, then logs into Salesmsg to send the group text.

    Marketing Agent
    0 min
    Agent validates and broadcasts in a single scheduled task

    Before every campaign send, the agent validates numbers via PhoneCheckr, removes invalid contacts, and dispatches the group text — clean lists, zero manual prep.

  • Customer Support
    30 min / week
    Manual missed-call callback queue

    Reps check a missed-call log, manually text or call back each caller, and update the CRM — a cycle that takes 5+ minutes per missed call and relies on someone checking the queue.

    Customer Support Agent
    0 min
    Agent acknowledges missed calls within about a minute

    The Missed Incoming Phone Call trigger fires the SMS and logs the event in the CRM automatically — the caller hears back before the support rep even sees the alert.

  • Human Resources
    15 min / week
    Manual interview and onboarding SMS coordination

    HR coordinators copy candidate phone numbers from the ATS, manually compose confirmation texts in Salesmsg, and send them one by one for each interview or new hire.

    Human Resources Agent
    0 min
    Agent sends interview confirmations and onboarding texts automatically

    When a candidate is scheduled or a new hire is added, the agent creates the contact, validates the number, and sends the SMS confirmation — no coordinator action needed.

  • Finance
    20 min / week
    Manual past-due invoice SMS reminders

    Finance pulls a report of past-due invoices, looks up each client's phone number in Salesmsg, types a payment reminder, sends it, and updates a tracking sheet manually.

    Finance Agent
    0 min
    Agent sends payment reminders and logs them automatically

    When an invoice hits a past-due threshold, the agent finds the contact, sends the reminder SMS with a payment link, creates a note, and alerts the team — all in one pass.

  • Operations
    40 min / week
    Manual field team SMS dispatch

    Ops coordinators manually text each on-call technician with job details, track who has confirmed, and update the job log — a process that takes 10 minutes per dispatch.

    Operations Agent
    0 min
    Agent dispatches field teams via group SMS in about a minute

    When a new job is logged, the agent sends the group text dispatch to the on-call team and creates the documentation note — the team is briefed before anyone opens the job tracker.

  • Legal
    30 min / week
    Manual TCPA compliance log maintenance

    Legal manually downloads opt-out reports from Salesmsg, compares them against the DNC list, updates the compliance spreadsheet, and checks for litigation-hold contacts one by one each week.

    Legal Agent
    0 min
    Agent maintains a weekly TCPA opt-out audit automatically

    The agent exports opt-out events, appends them to the compliance log with timestamps, and opts out any litigation-hold contacts missed by the automated flow — full coverage without a manual review.

FAQs

Questions about Salesmsg + Actionist

How does Actionist connect to Salesmsg?
Go to the Apps tab, find Salesmsg, and click Connect. Salesmsg connects via API key: log in to your Salesmsg account, go to Settings → API, and generate an API key. Paste that key into the Actionist connection form and click Test connection. Actionist runs a read-only verification call before any actions run. You can also use OAuth if your Salesmsg plan supports it.
What Salesmsg permissions does the Actionist agent need?
For send-only operations (Send a Text Message, Send a Group Text Message, Send a Ringless Voicemail) your API key needs write access to conversations. For contact operations (Create or Update Contact, Add Tag, Remove Tag, Find Contact) it needs read/write access to the Contacts resource. Webhook-based triggers (New Text Message Received, New Contact Opted-Out, etc.) require you to configure a webhook endpoint URL in Salesmsg Settings → Webhooks — Actionist registers this automatically during the OAuth or manual webhook setup.
Can I connect Salesmsg to my CRM or other apps in the same workflow?
Yes. Salesmsg is most powerful when combined with CRM and productivity apps. Common patterns: send an SMS when a HubSpot deal stage changes; create or update a Salesmsg contact when a form is submitted in another tool; log inbound replies into Google Sheets; trigger a ringless voicemail drop from a ClickUp task update. Any of Actionist's connected apps can feed into or out of Salesmsg actions in the same agent task.
What are the most common things agents do with Salesmsg?
The four patterns that come up most often: (1) outbound SMS sequences — sending a personalised text when a lead reaches a certain CRM stage; (2) inbound reply routing — detecting a keyword reply (yes, stop, info) and branching the conversation or updating a contact record; (3) missed-call follow-up — when a phone call is missed, the agent sends an immediate SMS to the caller's number; (4) bulk contact hygiene — tagging, opting out, or updating contacts in Salesmsg based on data changes in a spreadsheet or CRM.
How does Ringless Voicemail work in Salesmsg, and are there compliance limits?
Ringless Voicemail lets you drop a pre-recorded audio message directly into a contact's voicemail inbox without their phone ringing. Salesmsg enforces TCPA rules: messages can only be sent between 8 AM and 9 PM in the recipient's local time zone, with a maximum of 3 voicemail drops per contact every 3 days, and message length between 15 seconds and 2 minutes 59 seconds. Actionist respects these constraints when the Send a Ringless Voicemail action is invoked in an agent task.
What is Phone Number Lookup and when should I use it?
Phone Number Lookup (PhoneCheckr) validates a phone number before you send to it — verifying it is a real, active mobile number and returning carrier and line-type data. Use it before running a bulk text campaign to reduce delivery failures, avoid sending SMS to landlines, and keep your sender reputation healthy. Run it as the first step in any agent task that receives a contact's phone number from an external source.
How do I handle opt-outs from outside Salesmsg?
The Opt-Out a Contact action marks a contact as opted out in Salesmsg, which prevents any further messages from being sent to them. Use it when a contact requests removal via a channel outside Salesmsg — for example, an email unsubscribe, a CRM status change, or a manual CSV upload of opt-outs. Salesmsg also handles STOP replies automatically at the platform level; the Opt-Out action lets you extend that compliance to contacts flagged in other systems.
What is the difference between Send a Text Message and Send a Group Text Message?
Group Text Message sends one message to a defined list of contacts simultaneously — useful for broadcasts, announcements, or outreach campaigns. Individual Text Message sends to a single contact and keeps the conversation in a personal thread. Use Group Text for one-to-many communications where individual replies are not expected, and Individual Text for one-to-one conversations where you want inbound replies to route back to a specific inbox and agent.
