Latenode

Slack to SMS alerts

This template starts when a new message is posted in a Slack channel you watch, including a private channel the bot has joined.

JavaScript keeps only the senders or keywords you care about, then ClickSend texts the number you set. Connect Slack and ClickSend. Put the ClickSend API key on the ClickSend connection. Invite the Slack bot into that private channel.

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

Watch the Slack channel

The scenario starts when someone posts in the Slack channel you choose. Invite the bot into a private channel so it can see those messages.

2
Logic

Decide if SMS is needed

JavaScript matches channel, sender, and keywords, then builds a short SMS body.

3
Action

Send the SMS

ClickSend texts the phone number you set.
