E-mail and SMS via IFTTT

The Widget itself functions as described. Set up a bunch of pre-fab messages to tell your ride partners you are going to Destination X or Y, running late, on the way home, "be there in 10," etc. etc. To use a Garmin device to send specific messages is painful beyond belief ... just pull out your phone if that's what you need to do. Any limitation or frustration with this Widget is an OS or Device limitation, and therefore the 5th star. This is EXACTLY what I'm looking for. Solution to the @Bob190 IOS limitation ... it's long and convoluted: Step 1: Set up the IFTTT Recipe to use email instead of SMS. Step 2: set up your contacts as emails, not text. (E.g., [email protected] See here for most carriers: https://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/how-to-send-a-text-from-your-email-account/); Any reply to your text will come back you your email, so Step 3: create a forwarder in your email provider of all replies from your contacts to your own number [email protected] so you'll see their replies.

As an iPhone user, I have been looking for a solution that would allow me to send a quick test from my Fenix 6s .. this works, but there are some caveats. 1. It isn't free .. the only IFTTT service I could find that would send an SMS test was ClickSend. There is a small charge per text .. but it is minimal. 2. With ClickSend .. the text won't come from your phone number, but will come from a fixed number provided by the service. I got around this by changing the beginning of all the Quick responses to my Name: 3. You have to setup a rule in QuickSend to receive a reply. The reply gets forwarded to your phone number. You get charged for the reply. I am OK with the above, since I can now send a quick text from my watch without pulling out my iPhone. Appreciate the work the developer put into this.

Doesn’t work at all: - After message is supposedly sent, IFTTT cannot see it at all, in the meanwhile the same web hook works well from other programs. - The widget won’t accept a valid & short event name (4 chars), the widget says the event name is too short.

I’m not sure why, but I am using the email feature, and I get a notification that the event occurred to the connected email address, but the recipients don’t actually get the email. Also, what are the possibly SMS service? I don’t see any. Thanks!

What would be my IFT key?

I was trying to set up IFTTT, but there was no "iMessage" or "Gmail" in the "then" menu. Using "EMail," I can only let myself receive a message, not send one. Also, this widget, froze my device.

(Updated review) Since leaving this app and coming back to it I have had a bit of trouble getting it up and running HOWEVER, the help I received was brilliant and my issue eventually got solved.

When I pressed clear in the garmin, the app will never take parameters from phone any more. What should happen? I tried uninstalling and installing. But nothing

The app is phenominal, but do I need gps, and phone connection?

After reading the only one review available I thought I would be able to figure it out no problem but I'm confused and giving up

I got it all set up in ~15 minutes with zero prior knowledge of IFTTT. Works well, nice to be able to send custom text responses from watch now.

Got it to work, I use it for text messaging. However, i can send texts, but how do you reply to texts?

Worked for me with 2 caveats: First, it wouldn't work until I named the event something with an underscore. In my case it was "vivo_p" (without quotes.) Second, IFTTT on Android wouldn't allow me to add {{Value1}} for phone number. So I did it on their website interface instead. All works now. Hope this helps others.

This is ace. Really nice interface. Thank you. I'm using it for sms rather than email, so the subject is irrelevant - it'd be nice to have the option to hide that. It'd also be nice to be able to associate a name with each mobile number, to help identify the recipient when selecting from the list. I think with these two improvements it'd be perfect.

Excellent! Sending emails works with no problem. The key to use is in https://ifttt.com/maker_webhooks then "documentation"
