Can’t share automatons unfortunately, only shortcuts, but the action bit looks like this

EE Spam is just a contact for my network’s spam reporting number.

And the trigger bit is just any message containing “http”. All in the Automations section in the shortcuts app.

I’ve set up an automation that looks for the string “http” in any message and if it detects it, asks if I want to report it as spam. This will only pick up spam that has links in it, but in my experience that’s 99% of them.

If I say yes, it forwards the message to my network’s spam reporting number, waits a few seconds, and then sends the offending number (this is the standard way of reporting it to my carrier, message first, then they reply saking you to send the number).
