How this automation works

Send a Circle member's profile to your phone by SMS. It runs when you tell Google Assistant to activate a scene; the Applet asks Circle for member details using the scene name as the email and then sends those details via SMS. Ideal for community managers who name a scene after a member's email to quickly receive their name, bio and profile link on your phone.
