Latenode

Automatically route Gmail emails to WhatsApp via Tellephant

This template watches Gmail for new mail, shapes the subject and body in JavaScript, and sends a WhatsApp message through the Tellephant API.

Connect Gmail, then put the Tellephant API key and the recipient number on the HTTP request that calls Tellephant. Use it to push inbox alerts to WhatsApp without copying the message by hand.

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.

How it works

1
Trigger

New Gmail message

The scenario starts when a new email arrives in the Gmail inbox you connect.

2
Logic

Shape the WhatsApp text

JavaScript builds a short message from the email subject and body.

3
Action

Send through Tellephant

An HTTP request calls the Tellephant API to deliver that text on WhatsApp. Put the Tellephant API key on that HTTP request node.

Setup guide

1

Connect Gmail

Add a Gmail connection with access to the inbox you want to watch.

2

Watch new mail

Add a Gmail trigger for new email. Filter by label or from-address if you only want certain threads.

3

Call the Tellephant API

Add JavaScript to build the WhatsApp text from subject and body. Add an HTTP request to the Tellephant send endpoint with the recipient number. Put the Tellephant API key on that HTTP request node.

Requirements

A Gmail inbox Latenode can read
A Tellephant account that can send WhatsApp
A Tellephant API key stored on the HTTP request node
The WhatsApp number that should receive the message
