Latenode

Notify your team with SMS when contacts are added or updated in ActiveCampaign

This template starts when ActiveCampaign creates or updates a contact, builds a short SMS in JavaScript from name and email, and sends it from your Twilio number to the team phone you set. Connect ActiveCampaign and Twilio. Put the ActiveCampaign API key on the ActiveCampaign connection. Put the Account SID and Auth Token on the Twilio connection.

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.
