Steps to reproduce:

1. Use "Filter Rules" to find a specific string (such as a "widget XYZ on sale") 2. Using a Template, email a one-line text (such as "widget XYZ is on sale") to a specified email address. This email address (such as "[e-mail]") could go to my account at the cellular service provider which converts it to a text SMS message and sends it to my phone. I instantly get a text SMS message "widget XYZ is on sale" which triggers my immediate attention.


Actual results:

Currently we can "Reply with template". This will not work as I do not want to reply to the sender of the advertisement. We can also "Forward email". This will not work as these emails are usually very long, they are HTML, etc. and will be rejected by the cellular service provider. The cellular service provider cannot convert a long HTML email to a short text SMS message.


Expected results:

Use FILTERS.  When an email filter hits the criteria, use SEND EMAIL action to a specified email address, using text in a TEMPLATE.
