Depending on your setup, data should flow between Gmail and Smsapi (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Gmail and Smsapi
Smsapi + Gmail + Google Sheets: When an SMS message is received, trigger a Gmail search for related emails. If a relevant email is found, log the SMS message content, sender, and associated email details into a Google Sheet for analysis.
