How do I send an SMS through Vonage?
Short answer: You can send sms in Vonage by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Vonage Send SMS action to a workflow, map its 3 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.
Inputs
The fields this action accepts.
Every field can be mapped from an upstream trigger, AI step, table row, or hard-coded literal.
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
To Phone to | phone | Required | To Phone. e.g. "+14155552671" |
From from | string | Required | Sender ID or phone number |
Message text | string | Required | Message |
Sample request
{"to": "+14155552671","from": "Vonage or +14155551234","text": "{{trigger.text}}"}
Returns
{"messages": [{"to": "14155552671","status": "0","message-id": "msg123","message-price": "0.05","remaining-balance": "15.50"}],"message-count": "1"}
Use these fields in downstream nodes for routing, logging, or error handling.

FAQ
Questions about Send SMS.
What does the Send SMS action do in Vonage?
Sends an SMS via Vonage (formerly Nexmo) from your registered sender ID to a destination number. US/Canada destinations require 10DLC registration to avoid filtering.
What inputs does Send SMS require?
Required: To Phone, From, Message. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.
Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?
Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.
What happens if Vonage returns an error?
The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Vonage returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.
Does Send SMS support batch operations?
Run Send SMS inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Vonage's rate limits.
