How this automation works

Send custom SMS messages automatically when you activate a scene with Google Assistant. This Applet runs whenever you say a command like “Ok Google, activate [Scene Name]”, triggering an SMS via GatewayAPI. Ideal for hands-free notifications or automated alerts, and great for users who want to manage communications through voice control. Customize the message to fit your tone.
