Send one SMS to a phone number through ClickSend.

## Setup

Connect ClickSend with its API username and API key. Run the Open Flow workflow with a recipient in E.164 format, such as `+12025550123`, and the message text. In n8n, set these values in **Set SMS data** and configure HTTP Basic Auth on **Send SMS** using the same API username and API key. Run one format at a time.

## Behavior

The workflow submits one SMS and returns its ClickSend message ID after the service reports that message was queued. Queued does not mean delivered; consult ClickSend delivery receipts for the final outcome. A request-level or per-message error stops the run, including errors returned with HTTP 200.

A failed or uncertain request may already have queued the message. Check ClickSend before retrying; there is no automatic retry or deduplication. The destination and message are sent to ClickSend.

Inspiration & credits

## Changes to the source

*   Replace the sample recipient and text with configurable values and validate them before sending.
*   Check the individual message status and ID instead of treating a successful HTTP response as proof that the message was queued.
