Has anybody made a workflow to be able to text message your blog/text in console form(link etc)?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you want to output a text link to the console, right?

I want to "text message" the output/console form of my markdown project

This Python code should open iMessage and populate the to field. You can the do a paste to populate the message field and click Send.

import clipboard, webbrowser
msg = 'This is an important message!!'
tel = '+41-79-123-4567'  # can be a phone number or Apple ID
clipboard.set(msg)       # once iMessage opens, do a Paste into the message body
webbrowser.open('sms:' + tel)

With Workflow for iOS or Launch Center Pro you could make it come up so all you have to do is hit send.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but why don't you just use the built-in Message action in Editorial's workflow builder?

@pfcbenjamin, You are correct. The built-in Message action is a much better way to go.

Any where is that??

Ok thanks

This seems to not work for my iPhone. It allows me to text but does not put my text in my text bar. It basically allows me to text, and that is it(does not allow me to text my text from editorial)

• The first thing in your workflow should be a Document Text action.
• The next thing in your workflow should be a Compose Text Message action with Message Body set to the variable Input.

This does send my text. But does not work with links. Like I can't do this
