Forward iPhone Texts to Slack, Discord and More at Once

Description and use

Create a single Shortcuts automation with Fwrd to forward iPhone SMS to Slack, Discord, Telegram, Microsoft Teams, webhooks, email, iMessage, and WhatsApp simultaneously, using optional word, code, or time filters.

Problem

Forward a single iPhone text to multiple messaging and webhook destinations without creating separate automations for each app.

Outcome

A single Shortcuts automation forwards each incoming iPhone text to all configured destinations, counting as one forward regardless of number of outputs, with optional per-destination filtering.

Workflow

• Add each destination in Fwrd (webhook URL, Telegram bot token/chat ID, recipient for email/phone/WhatsApp).
• Set optional filters (words, verification codes, time of day) per destination.
• Create a Message automation in Shortcuts (iOS 26/27).
• Configure trigger: Message Contains (e.g., a space or specific word).
• Turn off confirmation prompts to run automatically.
• Add Fwrd’s Forward Message to All Destinations action, set Message to Shortcut Input.
• Add optional send steps (Apple Send Email, Send Message, WhatsApp Send Message) below Fwrd’s action, linking their Message to Fwrd’s output.
• Save and enable the automation.

Evidence

To forward one iPhone text to Slack, Discord and other apps at once, make one Message automation in Apple’s Shortcuts app and add Fwrd’s Forward Message to All Destinations action.

Source

Texts are processed on the iPhone and never pass through a Fwrd server.

Source

No. Fwrd is free for 15 forwards a month to any destination, and one text counts once however many places it goes.
