Latenode

Receive SMS alerts for new Microsoft Outlook emails

This template watches a Microsoft Outlook mailbox for new mail, trims sender, subject, and a short excerpt in JavaScript, and texts you from Twilio.

Connect Microsoft Outlook and Twilio, then point the trigger at the inbox you care about. Put the Twilio Account SID and Auth Token on the Twilio 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.

JavaScript takes sender, subject, and a short body excerpt so the SMS stays within length limits.

Twilio delivers the alert from your Twilio number to the phone you set.
