HTTP Request and Twilio integration
Save yourself the work of writing custom integrations for HTTP Request and Twilio and use n8n instead. Build adaptable and scalable Development, Core Nodes, and Communication workflows that work with your technology stack. All within a building experience you will love.
How to connect HTTP Request and Twilio
- Step 1: Create a new workflow
- Step 2: Add and configure nodes
- Step 3: Connect
- Step 4: Customize and extend your integration
- Step 5: Test and activate your workflow
Step 1: Create a new workflow and add the first step
In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow. Add the starting point – a trigger on when your workflow should run: an app event, a schedule, a webhook call, another workflow, an AI chat, or a manual trigger. Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.
Step 2: Add and configure HTTP Request and Twilio nodes
You can find HTTP Request and Twilio in the nodes panel. Drag them onto your workflow canvas, selecting their actions. Click each node, choose a credential, and authenticate to grant n8n access. Configure HTTP Request and Twilio nodes one by one: input data on the left, parameters in the middle, and output data on the right.
Step 3: Connect HTTP Request and Twilio
A connection establishes a link between HTTP Request and Twilio (or vice versa) to route data through the workflow. Data flows from the output of one node to the input of another. You can have single or multiple connections for each node.
Step 4: Customize and extend your HTTP Request and Twilio integration
Use n8n's core nodes such as If, Split Out, Merge, and others to transform and manipulate data. Write custom JavaScript or Python in the Code node and run it as a step in your workflow. Connect HTTP Request and Twilio with any of n8n’s 1000+ integrations, and incorporate advanced AI logic into your workflows.
Step 5: Test and activate your HTTP Request and Twilio workflow
Save and run the workflow to see if everything works as expected. Based on your configuration, data should flow from HTTP Request to Twilio or vice versa. Easily debug your workflow: you can check past executions to isolate and fix the mistake. Once you've tested everything, make sure to save your workflow and activate it.

Monitor if a page is alive and notify via Twilio SMS if not
Workflow Purpose
This workflow periodically checks a service's availability and sends an SMS notification if the service is down.
High-Level Steps
Schedule Trigger: The workflow is triggered at a specified interval, such as every minute.
HTTP Request: An HTTP request is sent to the URL of the service being monitored.
If: The HTTP status code of the response is checked.
If the status code is 200 (OK), the workflow ends.
If the status code is not 200, indicating a potential issue, an SMS notification is sent using Twilio.
Setup
Setting up this workflow is relatively straightforward and should only take a few minutes:
Create a new n8n workflow.
Add the nodes: Schedule Trigger, HTTP Request, If, and Twilio.
Configure the nodes:
Schedule Trigger: Specify the desired interval.
HTTP Request: Enter the URL of the service to be monitored.
If: Set the condition to check for a status code other than 200.
Twilio: Enter the Twilio account credentials and the phone numbers for sending and receiving the SMS notification.
Connect the nodes: Connect the nodes as shown in the workflow diagram.
Activate the workflow: Save the workflow and activate it.
Additional Notes
The workflow can be customized by changing the interval, the URL, the Twilio credentials, and the SMS message.
This workflow is a simple example, and more complex workflows can be created to meet specific needs.
Build your own HTTP Request and Twilio integration
Create custom HTTP Request and Twilio workflows by choosing triggers and actions. Nodes come with global operations and settings, as well as app-specific parameters that can be configured. You can also use the HTTP Request node to query data from any app or service with a REST API.
