Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Kintone, Smsapi, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Kintone and Smsapi integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Kintone and Smsapi (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Kintone and Smsapi
Kintone + Twilio + Smsapi: When a record is created in Kintone, the automation retrieves the record and uses the phone number field to send an SMS reminder via Twilio. If Twilio fails, then it falls back to using Smsapi to send the same reminder.
Smsapi + Kintone + Slack: Upon sending a text message using Smsapi, the automation checks Kintone for any new leads. If new leads are found, it sends a notification to a specified Slack channel.
