Forwarding your SMS
When you’ve purchased an SMS enabled virtual mobile number, you can easily forward all incoming SMS messages using Flow Builder.
There are a few ways you can go about forwarding your SMS. When an incoming SMS message comes in you can choose to send the message to:
- Another phone number
- An email address
- A Contact group
- As a JSON payload to a URL
To get started:
- Create a new custom flow here.
- Name your flow.
- Select 'SMS' as your incoming trigger.
You are ready to begin building your Flow.
-
First Select the 'SMS' icon and choose which Number you would like to attach this flow to.
Note: You can select more than one number.
-
You will then be able to choose your next Forwarding step depending on which action you want to happen next by dragging your desired step underneath the 'SMS' step
- Once you're happy with your flow, you can choose to:
- Test your flow to simulate the actions.
- Save as a draft
- Publish if you are ready to bring this live.
