Latenode

Send SMS alerts when a new webhook arrives

This template receives a POST on a Latenode webhook, builds a short SMS in JavaScript from the payload, and sends it from Twilio.

Point any system that can HTTP POST at the webhook URL. Connect Twilio and put the 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.
