Texting Triggers and Attachment Handling with Lindy

·
·

Are there any texting triggers/actions? Specifically to trigger a Lindy if a certain number gets a text + a Lindy to send a text? Also, is there a way for Lindy to send attachments? Either from a knowledge base or if we get an inbound email from someone with an attachment, can we take that attachment and send it to another person?

    yes, you can use twilio and the SMS received trigger and then send a reply. Here is a guide on Twilio to get you started :)

    last one on the Attachments. I wasn’t able to get an attachment I received, download it/attach and send it via email to someone else. Is that possible?

    hmm I dont think you can send attachements —BUT you should be able to use gdrive as a proxy. Download Attachement → upload to gdrive → send email with drive link
