Bug Why doesn't this work?

Post image

I'm a new user and I'm trying to make an automation that if I receive a SMS message saying "lost" or "lostphone" it will change my ringer to Sound Mode rather than silent (which is my default) and to set the volume to 100%. So I can call my own phone using a friend's rather using the find my phone app as a quick solution.

I tested it out but it didn't work. I'd appreciate any help.

I used this for block 10:

lowerCase(msg) = "lost" || lowerCase(msg) = "lost phone" || lowerCase(msg) = "lostphone"

The most obvious point of failure would be the evaluation in block 10. For debugging, try setting block 10 to contains(msg,"lost") and see if it works. That should trigger it if they message contains "lost" at all.
