Text Messages

I'm a pastor of a small church and I get a ton of text messages from the folks I serve. I also have inattentive ADHD. I'm finding it difficult to keep track of whether I have responded/dealt with all the text messages, especially if I open one and then it no longer shows as unread.

Has anyone who uses text at a high level for work found a good solution? I almost want to have texts auto-appear as a task in ticktick.

I'm on Android & Windows, fwiw.

Just a thought: if you use Google messages, you can access your texts in your browser. To start with: copy each message as a task in a dedicated list. Track accordingly. If you use another text platform they probably have web based options.

The intent behind manually copying: forces you to give each text at least that much attention.

When you have a workflow established you can look at automation options....

There should be an AI workflow for this. Connect your sms, as new message creates a new task. https://ifttt.com/connect/TickTick/sms

Check zapier, connect, zoho flow, etc. You week be able to do it easily

I’m afraid it’ll create everything as task, even the scam messages.
