SMS received (but via Google Voice) does not trigger

Post by lailoken » 16 Nov 2013 18:29

Hi, since I'm using SIP for my primary number via a Google Voice ported number my SMSes come in via Google Voice and is either handled by the native messaging app, or Hangouts.

The problem is that the SMS triggers don't seem to trigger for me. Is there something I can do to make the cool location-sending SMS trigger flow to work for me?

Using KitKat on Nexus 5.

Unfortunately there is no good API to get a notification about incoming messages of different apps.
You could try to trigger a flow when the app posts a notification about the new message in the statusbar by using the trigger Notification on Statusbar Displayed.
The text of the notification is available in variables title, notification_text and notification_text_big but not all apps post the text of the message in the notification.
