About this Applet

Send the elected officials for a configured US address to your phone via SMS. Runs when you say "Ok Google, activate [Scene Name]": the Applet asks Cicero to look up officials for the street address you set and sends their names and contact details as a single SMS. Handy for quickly calling or emailing your representatives after triggering a scene; uses Google Assistant, Cicero, and SMS to gather and deliver contact info. Note: Customize the message to fit your tone.
