Hi,

There is a flow trigger called incoming flow. It supplies lots of variables, but most importantly the number of the incoming call.

There is probably not many websites dedicated to help with automagic because the help within automagic is very extensive.

Whenever your in a trigger, condition or action press the ? And all the help you could need will tell you about the trigger/condition/action and the variables they supply.

Hope that helps.

I am trying to do something similar. Incoming Call Trigger returns Null on an SMS message. Init Variables Call Log only returns the number for the last phone call. I suspect Android 4.4.2 with their "hangouts" integration has screwed it up for everyone. Anyone have a work around?

Hi,

Trigger Incoming Call should not even be invoked when you receive an SMS. You can use a trigger SMS Received for this purpose. Please note that it will not work with hangout messages, just regular plain SMS messages.
You could try to intercept hangout messages or messages of other messengers like whatsapp with a trigger Notification on Statusbar Displayed.

Regards,
Martin

I agree incoming call should not be used. I only referred to it because the previous post did. I am not using hangouts but google did attempt to make it the default on 4.4.2. SMS received has been in the equation all along, the issue is storing the SMS phone number so it can be used in the SMS send action. {sms_sender} appears to be the solution but it did not show up as an available variable in the trigger. I got it now.

The original poster wanted to send an sms to last/missed caller.

Why can't incoming call be used as a trigger?

Martin responded to another post asking the same thing and his solution was to use incoming call as the trigger.
