What is n8n?

n8n is an open-source workflow automation platform that enables users to automate tasks and integrate different applications and services without writing code. It allows you to create custom workflows by connecting various tools and systems, such as CRMs, email platforms, databases, and cloud services, through a visual interface. n8n supports hundreds of integrations, enabling users to automate repetitive tasks, trigger actions based on specific events, and synchronize data across different platforms. The platform provides flexibility, allowing for the creation of complex workflows with conditional logic, loops, and error handling. n8n is ideal for businesses or developers looking for a customizable, self-hosted automation tool that can streamline processes and improve efficiency across various software applications.

Functionalities

SMS Dispatch

Add the seven node to your workflow to send SMS. The ability to combine it with other nodes allows you to create workflows for all possible use cases.

Dispatch text-to-speech calls

Add the seven node to your workflow to make text-to-speech calls. This node converts the specified text into a voice message that is read out loud after the specified recipient number has accepted the call. This node also offers you the option of combining it with other nodes to realize complex scenarios for all possible use cases.

Installation

The seven node is available in n8n under the former company name "sms77", a separate installation is not required.

Example for SMS dispatch

Pass any text to the node to send the message to any number of recipients.

Steps

1. Copy the workflow code by left-clicking on it
2. Navigate to the n8n editor
3. Click anywhere in the n8n window
4. Paste the code with strg/cmd + v.

Attention: Workflows often require initial setup, e.g. filling in access data.
