Send Google Messaging

Summary

Internal name: SendGoogleMessaging
Category: App Automation
Purpose: Send an SMS or RCS message through the Google Messages app (automates the app itself, does not call the SMS API directly).
Task type: Normal

Description

This task opens Google Messages with the recipient and message body already filled in (via an Android smsto: intent), then taps the Send button using the accessibility service. Google Messages decides on its own whether the message goes out as SMS or RCS, depending on the recipient's capability.

This automates a personal account - it is not the official RCS Business Messaging API. There is no verified sender branding, and sending too fast or too often can trigger anti-abuse detection on the Google account/number. Keep sending rates reasonable for real campaigns.

Input parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description	Default
`SendGoogleMessaging_msisdn`	String	Yes	Recipient phone number - supports `$variable`	`""`
`SendGoogleMessaging_message`	String	Yes	Message body to send - supports `$variable`	`""`

Output parameters

This task produces no output variables. It returns VoidResult.

Exceptions

Code	Exception Name	Description
`SCREEN-AUTOMATOR-ERROR-010`	Accessibility Service Not Connected	The AndroMate accessibility service is not enabled on the device.
`SCREEN-AUTOMATOR-ERROR-011`	Action Failed	The Send button could not be found/clicked within the timeout - usually means the app's UI layout changed.
