Integrations overview

MessageDesk connects to the rest of your tech stack three ways:
  • Native extensions that work directly inside the app.
  • Zapier for no-code automation across thousands of apps.
  • Webhooks for custom developer integrations.
Pick the layer that fits the job, or combine them.

Native integrations

Grammarly

The Grammarly browser extension runs alongside MessageDesk and checks spelling, grammar, and tone as you compose messages, comments, and templates. You keep customer-facing texts on-brand without leaving the Inbox. It works in any browser where Grammarly is installed. No MessageDesk-side configuration required. → Grammarly

Automation platform

Zapier

Zapier connects MessageDesk to 9,000+ apps through no-code triggers, actions, and searches. Use it to:
  • Push new MessageDesk messages into your CRM.
  • Send appointment reminders from your calendar.
  • Text someone back after they call your number.
  • Keep contacts and opt-outs in sync both directions.
  • Post notifications to Slack or Teams.
  • Kick off SMS confirmations after a payment or form submission.
No code required. MessageDesk publishes triggers for messages, contacts, opt-outs, calls, and comments. Actions cover Send Message, Send Group Message, Send Broadcast Message, Create or Update Contact, Create Comment, and Create Opt Out. Two searches let you find or create a contact or conversation mid-Zap. → Zapier

Developer and webhook integrations

Send Webhook (custom endpoint)

For developer-built integrations, or any system without a Zapier connector, use the Send Webhook Relay action to push MessageDesk events to any HTTPS endpoint you control. MessageDesk signs each event with an X-MessageDesk-Signature header so you can verify authenticity. Pick this tier when you’re streaming events into a data warehouse, custom CRM, internal microservice, or a serverless function.
Webhook delivery requires a configured endpoint and signing secret in Settings → Developer Tools. Set those up before turning on a Send Webhook Relay.

Lightweight in-app lookups

The Contact Create Form in MessageDesk also includes HubSpot and Close CRM lookup buttons. One click pulls contact details from those CRMs into a new MessageDesk contact record. They aren’t full sync integrations. For full bi-directional CRM sync, use Zapier or a webhook-based pipeline.
