Add GPS Location to SMS and E-Mail

Post by Paulo Leite » 05 May 2013 14:17

First of all, thanks for this great application !!

And well.. I'm trying to develop some kind of security flow that turn the GPS on and send me an email and an SMS containing the current location to my other phone number as soon as an SMS with the word "location" is received by the device.. The problem is that I just don't find a way to attach the location info to the messages..

How can I do that ??

Is there a possibility to add a feature that makes it easier, or modify the SMS and mail actions to have options to attach the location ??

Thanks !!

Thanks :-)

There is a flow called "SMS Location Request" available in the catalog that makes use of variables to achieve this.

On the flow list:
-press menu->Catalog
-scroll down to "Lookup device location"
-select the open link

The flow is imported to your device and opened.

The flow is triggered by an SMS containing the text "Secret Keyword", then determines the location and sends an SMS back to the sender with the formatted location.
Please adjust "Secret Keyword" to a password of your choice.

You can also adjust the location action to use GPS and I highly recommend to set the timeout to 1-3 minutes.

Regards,
Martin
