Automate SMS notifications through ClickSend with custom webhooks

This automation template is designed to help development teams, API providers, and infrastructure engineers easily set up a system to automatically send SMS notifications to specific recipients through the ClickSend API.

The automation is triggered by a custom webhook, which can be integrated with various web applications, cloud services, or internal systems to monitor for specific events or conditions. Once triggered, the automation will fetch the necessary data, format the SMS message, and securely send it out using the ClickSend service. This streamlines communication workflows and ensures important notifications reach the right people in a timely manner, improving responsiveness and operational efficiency.

How Latenode estimates time and cost

Latenode bills workflow runs in credits: 1 credit = 30 seconds of processing. Minimum charge per run depends on your plan. Plug-and-Play (PnP) AI nodes are billed separately—each PnP token is $1 USD, charged pay-as-you-go at vendor cost plus a small processing fee, with no API keys required.

Setup guide

1

Add ClickSend Credential

1. In the Latenode Credentials panel, add a new credential for ClickSend. 2. Enter your ClickSend API key and/or username and password to authenticate with the ClickSend API.

2

Configure Webhook Trigger

1. In the Latenode visual builder, add a Webhook trigger node. 2. Configure the webhook URL and request body format (e.g. JSON, form-data) to match your external system's webhook payload.

3

Set Up SMS Message

1. Add a ClickSend SMS node to the workflow. 2. In the node settings, map the data fields from the webhook trigger to the required ClickSend SMS parameters (e.g. recipient phone number, message content).

4

Handle Errors and Retries

1. Add an error handling branch to your workflow to capture any issues with the ClickSend API call. 2. Configure retry logic and notifications (e.g. email, Slack) to ensure important messages are delivered reliably.

5

Test and Deploy

1. Test your workflow by manually triggering the webhook and verifying the SMS notification is received as expected. 2. Once satisfied, deploy your Latenode automation to start monitoring for events and sending SMS alerts automatically.

Requirements

Set up a ClickSend account and obtain an API key or access token
Configure a webhook endpoint in your application or cloud service to trigger the SMS notification automation
Gather the necessary data (recipient phone number, message content, etc.) that will be included in the SMS notification
