Get an SMS when Wyze detects motion
How this automation works
Create Xero bills from a tagged SMS to record payables on the go. When you text IFTTT with the hashtag you choose (for example, #bill), this Applet creates a bill in the Xero organisation you select using your message as the line item description. Useful for freelancers and small businesses who need to quickly capture expenses via SMS and sync them to Xero without desktop access.
