SMS Node

SMS Node

The SMS node sends a text message to a pre-determined mobile number when a payload reaches it in the workflow. You can use it to notify specific users. Similar to the email node, you can use the SMS node with custom workflow logic.

Adding an SMS node to your workflow

1. First, select your desired solution and navigate to Rayven Workflow.
2. Select ‘Outputs’ from the left-hand panel.
3. Find the SMS node and drag it onto the canvas.
4. Provide input to the SMS node by connecting it to another node
5. Double click on the SMS node to open its configuration window.

Configuring your SMS node

1. First, give your node a Name. Choose something simple that clearly explains its purpose.
2. We recommend you include a Header. An addressee will see this short description before they open a message.
3. Enter the Message Body. This text is the main content of your message.You can include identifiers and variables using the syntax below: 
   • Insert a value from the JSON payload using ((json_key)).
   • Insert a Device ID using <<_deviceid_>>.
   • Insert a Device Name using <<_devicename_>>.
4. Choose if you want to include a Footer. Usually, this is a signature block.
5. Choose who will receive the message: 
   • Selecting To End User ensures the node addresses the mobile number configured in Dashboard Users.
   • Use To Specific Number(s) to provide your own recipient(s). Enter the mobile number with the country code and without any symbols. If you have multiple recipients, use comma-separated values.
   • Take recipient numbers from a payload JSON key by entering the relevant field under To Number from Data Field Name. 
6. Once you have configured your SMS node, click 'Save'. It is now ready to send messages to the addresses specified.
