In Gmail, I have a filter set so that if an email from a particular sender is received, the email is forwarded to the email address used to send me a text. That's fine, but I would really like to be able to just send a notification text not containing the entire email.

When I look at the filter options, I can set it to forward, delete it, apply a label, and so on. But I would really like to perform some rather more complicated operation, such as the one I described. Is there a way?

Upon discovering that this was a possible duplicate, I checked the question/answer that was indicated and found that there is such a thing as Google Apps scripting. I had previously not known there was such a thing, but suspected that there might be such. However, not knowing what it was called, or really its nature, it was hard to hunt it down.

So here we have it: Apps Script.

Now all I have to do is learn how to use it. So, off I go!
