Node Settings

Example
Send SMS with variable
The example below is connected with a Request node that sends a request to a joke API.
Knowing the parameters of the API response, the node can pull the request’s response with %{request_response.joke}.
This example also includes messaging opt-out verbiage since this is important to avoid SMS spam blocks.
Send SMS notification as Call Whisper
You might be using Call Flow Builder to forward calls to a personal cell phone. The example below will send an SMS to the specified phone number just before forwarding a call to that same number. This way you’ll receive a text letting you know this is a forwarded call from SignalWire and which original SignalWire number your caller dialed.
