example: new card entered with phone number
i would like it to auto text that number. Any help would be great thank you

You won’t be able to use SMS by Zapier to send SMS to Leads, so you’ll have to leverage a different SMS app such as Twilio to send SMS to leads: https://zapier.com/apps/twilio/integrations

+12you should be able to use the SMS by Zapier action for this https://zapier.com/apps/sms/integrations
passing in the phone number as dynamic data into the second action.
If you will include screenshots of your trigger step, I can further assist you.
If the phone number isn’t in its own field then you will need to use a Formatter by Zapier > Text > Extract Phone Number action to pull it out and then place this in the SMS action.
Can you provide more details? It won’t let me upload pictures. I have it like this

Oh very cool! I wasn’t aware of that as it has been a while since I’ve used that specific action.
Step 1 can be set up to look at a specific board or all boards. in my example, it looks at a specific board.
Step 2 will pull the phone number out of the description off the card
This is conditional of how your card is formatted though. But the end result will return the phone number that can then be put into an app such as Twilio for texting.
Can you show how you would setup twilio? On the setup action for “from number” I can’t figure it out. It won’t let me put any number into that field
