The Textlocal API on Pipedream allows for robust SMS messaging capabilities within workflows. You can send notifications, alerts, and updates directly to mobile users, automate marketing campaigns, or integrate SMS into multi-channel communication strategies. By leveraging Pipedream's serverless platform, you can create complex workflows involving Textlocal for various application domains without managing infrastructure, boosting productivity and engagement through the power of automated text messaging.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
textlocal: {
type: "app",
app: "textlocal",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://api.txtlocal.com/balance`,
params: {
apiKey: `${this.textlocal.$auth.api_key}`,
},
})
},
})
SMS Notifications for E-commerce Orders: Whenever a new order is placed on an e-commerce platform like Shopify, trigger a workflow in Pipedream that sends an order confirmation SMS to the customer using Textlocal. The message can include details like order number, expected delivery date, and a thank you note.
Appointment Reminders for Healthcare: In a healthcare app, use the Google Calendar API to monitor upcoming appointments. Set up a Pipedream workflow that sends SMS reminders to patients 24 hours before their appointment using Textlocal, reducing no-show rates and improving patient compliance.
Real-time Alerts from IoT Devices: Connect IoT devices, such as temperature sensors or security cameras, to Pipedream. Set a workflow that triggers an SMS alert via Textlocal when certain thresholds are met or anomalies are detected, providing immediate notification for quick action.
This Action can be used to send text messages to either individual numbers or entire contact groups. See the docs here Note: While both numbers and group_id are optional parameters, one or the other must be included in the request for the message to be sent.
Textlocal uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Textlocal account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Textlocal APIs in both code and no-code steps.
