Latenode

Slack to SMS alerts

Use Slack’s event subscription (or polling) through the Slack node to detect new messages in a private channel you monitor, filter in JavaScript, and send an SMS through ClickSend when keywords or senders match. Removes Zapier from the middle of the alerting path.

How Latenode estimates time and cost

Latenode bills workflow runs in credits: 1 credit = 30 seconds of processing. Minimum charge per run depends on your plan. 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.
