How this automation works

Send an SMS automatically whenever someone uses the /ifttt command in your Telegram group. This Applet runs when a group member sends the special command, triggering a text message through ClickSend SMS. It's perfect for teams that want to broadcast urgent alerts or updates from group chats to phones. Customize the message to fit your tone.
