Close your MyQ garage door with Google Assistant
How this automation works
Get your selected Xero account's current cash balance sent to SMS. Say the scene name you configure in Google Assistant to trigger the Applet; it asks Xero for the chosen bank account's balance and then sends that amount to your phone via SMS. Ideal for business owners and managers who need quick, hands-free balance checks using Google Assistant, Xero, and SMS.
