SMS Notification using MSG91 - n8n Workflow

This is ideal for:
Developers requiring instant system alerts.
Businesses needing transactional SMS for order confirmations or updates.
Users seeking basic, reliable SMS capabilities within a larger n8n workflow.
Anyone looking for easy-to-implement n8n templates for communication automation.

This fundamental n8n workflow provides a plug-and-play solution for integrating the MSG91 API into your automation stack. Reliability in communication is crucial, and this n8n template ensures that SMS alerts, marketing messages, or system notifications are delivered quickly and effectively using the dedicated MSG91 n8n node. It serves as an essential base for building complex notification systems within n8n, allowing the user to focus on integration rather than complex API calls. Utilizing this n8n workflow saves development time and ensures a clear, manageable process flow.

The process begins with the On clicking 'execute' n8n trigger, which is configured for manual testing or initiation. Once activated, the n8n workflow immediately transitions to the core action node, the Msg91 n8n node. This node is responsible for handling the communication. It uses stored MSG91 API credentials to authenticate the request. The user must configure the to (recipient number), from (sender ID), and the message content. The Msg91 n8n node then executes the API call to the MSG91 service, resulting in the successful delivery of the SMS.

To install this n8n workflow:

1. Import the JSON: Copy the provided JSON code and paste it into your n8n instance using the 'New' menu -> 'Import from JSON'.


2. Setup Credentials: Locate the Msg91 n8n node and click the 'Credentials' dropdown. Create a new MSG91 API credential. You will need your MSG91 Authentication Key.


3. Configure Parameters: Update the Msg91 n8n node parameters by filling in the desired To number, From sender ID, and the specific SMS Message content.


4. Test: Click 'Execute Workflow' to run the n8n trigger and verify that the SMS is sent successfully.

On clicking 'execute' (n8n trigger)
Function: Serves as the starting point for this specific n8n workflow, allowing for manual execution and testing of the SMS functionality.
Key Configuration: Standard manual n8n trigger setup.

Msg91 (n8n node)
Function: Interfaces directly with the MSG91 API to send the SMS message content configured in the parameters.
Key Configuration: Requires valid MSG91 API credentials. Placeholder parameters for to, from, and message must be dynamically or statically configured by the user before running the n8n workflow.
