First, let's get the terminology straight. Are you actually using the "twilio_ping" variable to activate the ** Get Twilio trigger, or are you using the alternative method I described earlier
Didn't mean to be confusing, but the former, PING method.
You've specified the trigger to run when the string "Mail" is included in the Message From field. Which is never going to happen because Message From is the originating phone number. You probably want that to be Message Text
So this was my problem in evaluating incoming message text... I had it set incorrectly. That is now working as designed.
And let me make sure I understand these actions. Your intent is to enable to disable some other trigger (named "Mail") that will be activated by some other mechanism? And that's it?
I think just the opposite..... I have a sensor in the mailbox that sends me a text message when I have mail. Once it triggers, it automatically disables itself, so when I actually open the mailbox to get the mail, it doesn't send me another text message. While it does automatically re-enanble itself after a long period of time, there are instances when I need to manually re-enable it, and that is were sending the word MAIL as a text message comes in. My problem was my
" re-enable trigger when the text 'MAIL' is received" didn't work, because I had it set up incorrectly. Now that its working, I can take out my python script from the trigger that looks for the twilio_ping change, leaving just the Get Messages and the Re-set Variable action, which is I'm sure what you had intended.
So thanks for your time and help. Everything is working thru the GUI just as you have designed it.
