This workflow is for quick outbound iMessages when you already know who to contact and what to say.

​
What this helps you do

Use it for fast status updates, scheduling confirmations, or short follow-ups. Instead of switching apps and typing manually, you can send the message from the conversation flow.

​
Works with

  • App: Messages (iMessage)
  • Tool type: Local tool
  • Permissions: Messages automation (if prompted)

​
What Alter can do today

Alter can send iMessages to valid phone numbers or email addresses tied to iMessage.

​
What Alter does not do yet

  • It does not read your message history.
  • It does not summarize conversations or manage inbox threads.

​
Typical workflows

​
Fast update to one person

Give recipient + message in one prompt and send quickly.

​
Contact-first sending

Ask Alter to find the contact details first, then send the message.

​
A realistic workflow

1

Confirm recipient

Include the exact phone number or email in your prompt, or ask Alter to find it first.
2

Send concise message

Ask Alter to send one clear sentence with the necessary context.
3

Follow up if needed

Send a second confirmation message when plans change.

​
Copy/paste prompts

  • “Send a message to +33612345678: I’m running 10 minutes late.”
  • “Send an iMessage to [email protected]: Can we move to 3 PM?”
  • “Find Sarah’s phone number, then send: I just shared the doc.”

​
How to enable

1

Enable Messages in Tools Manager

Open Alter -> click the three dots -> Tools Manager -> Local Tools -> enable Messages.
2

Check Messages app setup

Make sure Messages is installed and your iMessage account is active.
3

Run a quick test

Send a short message to yourself or a trusted contact.

​
What to expect

  • Recipient format must be a valid phone number or email.
  • For safety, confirm recipient identity in the same prompt when names are ambiguous.
