Send Workflow Failure SMS with Twilio

Send a Twilio SMS identifying a workflow that failed.

Setup

In Open Flow, select the published source workflows in Receive a workflow failure, then publish and enable the error workflow. Connect Twilio in Send the SMS and set an SMS-capable sender and recipient in E.164 format.

In n8n, connect Twilio, configure the sender and recipient, assign this workflow as the error workflow in each source workflow’s settings, and activate it. Avoid assigning it to itself.

Behavior

An automatic failure in a configured source workflow sends an SMS containing that workflow’s ID and name. Manual test runs do not represent automatic error dispatch. If a send fails or its outcome is uncertain, check the recipient before retrying; the SMS may already have been delivered.

Inspiration & credits

Changes to the source

Configure the empty Twilio sender and recipient and bind the error workflow to its source workflows.
