This concept has much broader applications also - This is really clever - well done.
I made a small tweak to remove the from number - I just take all the messages and then use a whitelist asset to allow or not numbers to start processes.  I also added a date range to just get today's messages.  When then get the SID from the message, and check it's new (just by putting on a queue with unique on) which prevents us from double processing.
Additionally, this concept has much broader use cases.  E.g. Bot send out a notification of a potential fraud event to a customer.  A separate process does something basically exactly like this process, get a yes or no response from a customer, and takes action to freeze an account.
