Starts a procedure for retrieving a verification code received by SMS.
Action available for the following operating systems:
Android Mode:
1-The SMS message will contain an App specific Hash
2-The SMS message will not contain an App specific Hash
Sender Phone Number - This is an optional value used when Android Mode = 2, and if specified, only messages received from this number will be retrieved.
Target Android App Hash - Used when Android Mode = 1, the control or variable to store this App specific Hash. See Notes for more details.
Action Set - The ActionSet to execute when the SMS message is retrieved.
Target SMS - The variable to store the SMS retrieved that you can parse to extract the Verification Code.
iOS Target Input - The Text Box in iOS that will be used for the user to type in the Verification Code, and that in this case will have an Hint in the keyboard with the Verification Code when the SMS is received. See Notes for more details.
This action operation mode is very different in Android and iOS. Due to user privacy protection, direct SMS access is not allowed, so both O.S. have implemented different mechanisms to obtain a Verification Code received by SMS.
On iOS, no access to the SMS is given. You can select a text box for the user to type in the verification code. If you call this action and select a text box, a Hint will be given to iOS to tell we are expecting the user to type in a Verification Code received by SMS, and when a SMS with a verification code is received, a type suggestion will appear in the keyboard to automatically fill in the verification code. This hint to the O.S. is only available on iOS 12 or higher.
