This flow lets you receive SMS messages programatically. In other words, text your Node-RED flow!
Before getting started, you’ll need a few things:
- A Nexmo account — create one for free if you haven't already
- Optional: ngrok or similar tunnelling services - skip this if you’re running Node-RED on a public webserver instead of your local machine.
For this tutorial, you'll also need a Nexmo number—and you can purchase one under Numbers > Buy numbers.
There's a tutorial that explains this flow more in depth, check it out for more details.
