How this automation works
This applet sends an SMS from your Android phone and notifies you through the IFTTT app whenever you arrive at or leave a specific area, such as your home. It’s great for letting friends or family know when you come or go without having to text manually. Example: Get an alert and automatically text your friend when you reach home or depart. Note: Install the IFTTT app on your device(s) where you want to receive notifications.
