I’d like to send and receive SMS as emails so they’ll play nicely with CommuniHub and with the Gmail integration.
My first attempt used Clicksend, which accepts emails in the format {number}@sms.clicksend.com and sends them to {number} as SMS. And passes along replies from {number} to {number}@sms.clicksend.com. All good!
At least in my Gmail inbox, where everything shows up nicely. But in CommuniHub, replies don’t appear, seemingly because they come from Clicksend with a leading ‘+’. (Monday support has submitted a feature request to fix this, but it’s low priority.)
Does anyone have any ideas about ways to strip the ‘+’? Is this something that Zapier/Integromat could do?
Or perhaps I should be using those integrators to send/receive SMS directly from Updates? That’s the type of thing I think I can work through myself (no experience or money, but a fair bit of time) but it’d be nice to have some assurance I’m not on a goose chase or missing an easier alternative.
