Automatically receive SMS alerts for new YouTube videos

This template watches a YouTube channel for new uploads, builds a short text with the video title and link in JavaScript, and sends that SMS with Twilio.

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.

Comprehensive SEO Audit and Optimization Automation

This template starts when you post a website URL to a Latenode webhook. An HTTP request downloads the HTML. JavaScript extracts title, meta, headings, and image alts. OpenAI GPT Assistants reviews that on-page copy. A second HTTP request calls Google PageSpeed Insights with the PageSpeed API key on that request. JavaScript merges the findings into an HTML report, and MailerSend emails it. Connect OpenAI GPT Assistants and MailerSend.

Automatically track keyword rankings in Google Sheets

This template starts when you POST a keyword and country to a Latenode webhook, calls a SERP ranking endpoint over HTTP, and appends the results to Google Sheets. Put the RapidAPI key on that HTTP request. Connect Google Sheets. If the API returns no hits, JavaScript writes a no-result row so the log stays complete.
