I made an app to forward SMS to Email, Slack, or Discord via Shortcut Automations

With my team I often need to manually share OTPs to log into developer accounts (thanks, Appstore Connect). Current solutions all include replacing your phone number with some Twilio number to receive these text messages in a shared space.

So, I built an app that forwards SMS to Email, Slack, Discord, or Microsoft Teams using Shortcut Automations. It’s perfect for OTPs and 2FA codes, but it could also be useful for realtors or other industries where important messages come via text, or for keeping records.

Appreciate any feedback! :slight_smile:

What is the value proposition for subscribing to this app vs adding a Shortcuts automation to forward on, triggered by a received message trigger?

For email, it is not possible to send emails without user interaction in the background with vanilla shortcuts.

The other integrations into MS Teams, Slack or Discord could be replicated into Shortcuts with some work.

Thanks. So is your app enabling send in background using an email account configured on the device, or are you relaying the SMS data through a third party service (e.g. Amazon SES)?
