Send an SMS with MessageBird

Send an SMS to one or more recipients using MessageBird.

Setup

In Open Flow create a secret Variable named MESSAGEBIRD_AUTHORIZATION containing AccessKey followed by your MessageBird API key, and bind it to Send the SMS. Run with the sender, message and comma-separated recipient numbers including country codes. In n8n connect MessageBird and enter the same values in MessageBird. Use one format per send.

Behavior

A manual run sends one message request to up to 50 recipients and returns MessageBird’s response. The response reports recipient statuses; acceptance does not guarantee delivery. Open Flow rejects malformed recipient numbers before sending. If a request fails or the outcome is uncertain, check MessageBird and recipient statuses before retrying; some or all messages may already have been sent.

Changes to the source

Open Flow uses MessageBird’s SMS API directly and validates recipient numbers before sending.
