Latenode

Email alerts to SMS

This template texts your contacts when a new message hits Mailhook. Forward the inbox you care about to the Mailhook address.

JavaScript reads subject and body, keeps the fields you want in the SMS, and ClickSend delivers the text. Put the ClickSend username and API key on the ClickSend connection.

How Latenode estimates time and cost

Latenode bills workflow runtime in CPU seconds. The first 10,000 CPU seconds are free each month, then usage follows pay-as-you-go CPU-second pricing. 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.
