# Incoming SMS

The 'Incoming SMS' node is where your inbound SMS flow begins. Whenever a SMS message is received on the provided phone number, your flow will be triggered.

### Configuration

| **Property** | **Description**                       |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------- |
| Number       | The phone number. Must support flows. |

Note that each number can only be linked to one sms flow. If you attempt to create a second flow using the same number, you will get a warning telling you it is already linked. If you publish the second flow, your first flow will be unlinked.
