I will only be accepting PRs regarding this issue.

It's so complicated, cuz the format of the SMS varies by country, language, that specific bank, and etc. I think this should be an opt-in feature for those who use the specific bank system.

To handle varying message formats, let users provide custom regex patterns tailored to their needs—they can generate these easily using AI tools(We can provide a prompt that can generated the pattern).

In the backend, apply the user-supplied regex to parse and extract data from the messages.

even if we somehow pull this off, we’ll hit a wall pretty quickly.

we can make it work on android using packages like telephony, but since ios sandboxes apps, you’ll never get deliberate access to read every sms.

maybe this feature could work for an open-source, android-only project, but since flow is on both the play store and app store, ig it's not the best thing to do.

but yeh that is definitely a cool and real handy feature to have!

I mean, as long as someone makes a good looking pull request, we can have it.

We already just added iOS-only automation (Shortcuts) support. It's possible to have logic that only runs on one or some of the platforms.
