TextLink

TextLink simple SMS API

TextLink is the developer-friendly SMS API focused on simplicity and competitive pricing — fewer features than Twilio/Telnyx, but a clean API and pay-as-you-go pricing that's friendly for small projects and startups. Tiny Command exposes three actions, no triggers (TextLink delivers inbound SMS via webhooks configured per-number; point at a Tiny Command webhook trigger URL): Send SMS (single recipient, simple text), List Messages (paginated history), Get Balance (remaining credit). The connection uses a TextLink API key from the dashboard. For small startups or personal projects that need SMS without the Twilio learning curve, TextLink is a friendlier option — the API is intentionally minimal (no Programmable Voice, no rich messaging features), focused entirely on text SMS delivery. For enterprise SMS or rich features (MMS, group messaging, programmable voice), upgrade to Twilio or Telnyx.

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