Plivo

Plivo SMS and voice (Twilio alternative)

Plivo is the SMS + voice CPaaS platform — competitive with Twilio on the same fundamentals (US/EU/APAC SMS, voice with XML call control, WhatsApp Business API), often chosen for better per-message pricing in specific markets and a simpler dashboard UX. Tiny Command exposes four actions, no triggers (Plivo delivers inbound SMS and voice events via webhooks configured per-application in the Plivo console; point at a Tiny Command webhook trigger URL): Send SMS (single recipient with international routing), List Messages (historical sent and received with filters by date/status), Get Message (one message by UUID for status checking), Make Call (initiate an outbound call with Plivo's XML answer URL — the equivalent of Twilio's TwiML). The connection uses a Plivo Auth ID + Auth Token from the dashboard. SMS sender configuration matters per country — long codes work in US/Canada, short codes need pre-registration with carriers, alphanumeric senders work in EU/APAC. Plivo's Number Insight API (separately exposed via HTTP action) is the workhorse for "is this number real" pre-flight checks before high-volume sends.

Actions

Do anything Plivo can do, from a workflow.

Every action accepts dynamic inputs from upstream nodes, whether that's an AI output, a form field, or a search result.

Action	What it does	Inputs
Get Plivo Message	Returns the message by UUID with status, delivery info. For polling-based delivery confirmation when webhooks aren't configured.	1 fields	View →
List Plivo Messages	Paginated messages with filters by date/status. For send-history reporting or delivery auditing.	2 fields	View →
Plivo Make Voice Call	Initiates an outbound call using Plivo's XML answer URL (TwiML equivalent). For "urgent alert → automated phone call" critical-notification workflows.	3 fields	View →
Plivo Send SMS	Sends SMS with international routing. Competitive pricing in many markets vs Twilio. For high-volume SMS workflows where per-message cost matters.	3 fields	View →

Before you build

Three things worth knowing.

Filter at the trigger

Tiny Command counts a run the moment a trigger fires. Filtering early means only matching events spend your usage budget.

Authorize once, reuse anywhere

Connect Plivo once and every workflow on your account can use its triggers and actions. You don't have to re-auth per workflow.

No JSON to read

Every Plivo field shows up in the visual picker for downstream nodes. The raw payload is there for power users, optional for everyone else.
