How to forward text messages to Email?
Your iPhone includes the 
Shortcuts app, which has a feature called Automations. This feature allows you to set up triggers to automate tasks, including on incoming messages.
By using it together with the Forward SMS app, you can automatically forward text messages to an email address. This guide will walk you through setting up the Shortcuts Automation to make that happen.
