Let’s create an Action that, for example, allows to get photos from Dropbox, edit them and send them via MMS. To do it:

  1. Tap the “+” button at the left-top corner or tap to a free space.
  2. Choose the ”Action” from the list.
  3. Action Editor appears with a new Action.
  4. Design Workflow:
    1. Tap on the “Workflow” to define tasks composing Action's activity.
    2. Tap the “+” button at the bottom-left corner or tap the “Add Task”.
    3. Tap the “Cloud” and then “Download Files” to add that task.
    4. Tap the “+” button at the bottom-left corner or tap the “Add Task”.
    5. Tap the “Photo” and then “Edit Photos” to add that task.
    6. Tap the “+” button at the bottom-left corner or tap the “Add Task”.
    7. Tap the “Communication” and then “SMS”  to add that task.
    8. Tap “< New Action” (back).
  5. Setup Action's Icon:
    1. Tap Action's Icon.
    2. Tap the "App".
    3. Scroll to find the Dropbox icon and tap on it.
    4. Tap “< New Action” (back).
  6. Setup Action's Title:
    1. Tap on the empty title.
    2. Type the "SMS".
  7. Tap the Save button.


That’s it! Now you can tap on the “SMS” Action to send edited photos, obtained from Dropbox. 


Please check the "Alloy - How to Design Action" video, that demonstrates entire process.

Note: you may be prompted to sign-in to Dropbox in order to launch that Action. If prompted - sign-in to your Dropbox account and launch the “SMS” Action again.
