Macro Sequence:
1. Trigger: SMS Received
2. Action: Email contents of SMS to a specific email address, using SMTP server
Issue:
- SMS trigger does not work, when SMS is received.
- There is nothing recorded in the System Log on Macrodroid app.
- However, if I "test macro", the macro works fine and I can receive an email. I can also see it in the System Log (attached).
Background Information:
1. I created a Macro (let's call it "Email SMS contents") to automatically email me the contents of the SMS received.
2. This "Email SMS contents" Macro works without problem on 2 other Android phones (Samsung Galaxy Note 10 and Samsung Galaxy S10). In other words, I receive an email containing the SMS contents, whenever I receive a SMS text on the phone. The two Samsung phones use Messages (by Samsung) as the default SMS app. The problem I have is on a ZTE phone and this ZTE phone uses Messages (by Google) as the default SMS app.
3. The SMTP server settings is confirmed OK, as I could receive an email when I "test macro".
Macro Details:

LIKELY CAUSE?
It seems to me that the likely cause is the Messages app (by Google). For some reason, Macrodroid is not detecting SMS on Messages app (by Google), even though RCS is turned OFF.
SOLUTION?
Any suggestion on how I could get the macro to work, when I have Messages app (by Google) as the default SMS app?
THANK YOU!!!
