In the Calls section of a contact it would be awesome to have a drop down in the “log a call make a call” that would be to text a contact. Since more customers use texting over email it is a feature that would be super helpful to companies using hubspot.

Hi @jmills4,

Have you had a look at the HubSpot app marketplace? There are a few SMS integrations for HubSpot: [https://ecosystem.hubspot.com/marketplace/apps/all-categories?eco\_search=SMS](https://ecosystem.hubspot.com/marketplace/apps/all-categories?eco_search=SMS)

Let me know if that helps with your use case, this thread could be moved over to the discussion side of the community.

Cheers!

We have looked and used Sakari for a short time it was too confusing for  
the team. Hubspot having the feature would be more streamline for  
contacting as well as recording. --

I agree, we currently use Sakari and I agree with this idea. Especially when using the HubSpot Mobile app, the option appears to text but doesn’t log the text.

It seems like this should be a standard feature offered by HubSpot. Please add it!
