Latenode

Automatically receive SMS alerts for new RSS feed updates

This template watches a feed URL and, when a new RSS item arrives, builds a short SMS from the title and link, then sends it from Twilio.

Paste the feed URL on the RSS trigger. Connect Twilio and put the Account SID and Auth Token on that connection. Use it when you want a text as soon as the feed updates.

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.
