How this automation works

Get instant notifications whenever your Android device receives a text containing a specific keyword. This Applet runs each time an incoming SMS on your Android matches the phrase you choose, then sends the message details to your notification and email services. Perfect for monitoring important alerts or keywords and staying updated wherever you are. Customize the message to fit your tone. Note: Install the IFTTT app on the device(s) where you want to receive notifications.
