About this Applet

Create a Google Contacts contact automatically from a Copper person found by an email in an incoming SMS. The applet runs when "New SMS received matches search" fires: it asks Copper for the person matching the email extracted from the SMS text and then creates the contact in Google Contacts. Useful for capturing lead emails sent by text so Copper contacts are mirrored into Google Contacts; configure the trigger keyword (for example "@") to catch messages with addresses.
