Latenode

Automatically route Freshdesk tickets to SMS notifications

This template watches Freshdesk for new tickets, trims ticket id, subject, and requester in JavaScript, and texts your on-call number from Twilio.

Connect Freshdesk and Twilio, then point the trigger at the Freshdesk account you support. Put the Twilio 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.

How it works
