Latenode

Automate SMS notifications for new Trello board activity

This template texts you when Trello adds a card, updates a card, or posts a comment. Trello sends the event to a Latenode webhook.

JavaScript reads the card title, board name, and member, then Twilio sends the SMS. Connect Twilio. Put the Twilio Account SID and Auth Token on the Twilio connection. Paste the webhook URL into Trello.

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.

What this template does

  • Reads card title, board, and member in JavaScript
  • Sends the SMS with Twilio

How it works

1
Trigger

Receive the Trello event

The scenario starts when Trello posts board activity to your webhook URL.

2
Logic

Build the SMS text

JavaScript pulls card title, board name, and the member who made the change, then writes a short message.

3
Action

Send the SMS

Twilio sends that text to the phone number you set.

Setup guide

1

Add a webhook trigger

Add a webhook trigger and copy its URL. In Trello, send card created, card updated, and comment created webhooks to that URL.

2

Connect Twilio

Add a Twilio connection and paste your Account SID and Auth Token there. Set the Twilio number that sends SMS and the destination phone number.

3

Map the message

In JavaScript, build a short SMS from card title, board, and member, then send it with Twilio. Put a Trello API key in that JavaScript node if you register or poll Trello over HTTP.

4

Test with one card

Add a card on the watched board and confirm the SMS arrives.

Requirements

A Trello board that can send webhooks, or a Trello API key for HTTP
A Twilio account and number that can send SMS
Twilio Account SID and Auth Token stored on the Twilio connection
The destination phone number for alerts
