sms received from...

Post by bendroid » 25 Jul 2013 15:42

I am using a flow that reads sms messages when Bluetooth is connected. However, I can't figure out what the variable is so it will speak the contact name of the sms sender. Please help!

Thank you!

Hi,

The trigger SMS Received stores the name in variable contact_name. Type {contact_name} in an action Speech Output to read out the contact name.

The variables a trigger supplies to a flow are listed on the help page ([?]-icon besides the trigger type selection when you edit the trigger). Scroll down a bit to the variables section.
When editing an action, you can also press Menu->Select Variable to show a list of variables that are potentially available when the action you are editing is executed.

Regards,
Martin
