n8n-nodes-android-texter
n8n community node for Android Texter — send and receive SMS / MMS through your own linked Android phone, without paying Twilio per-message fees.
What it does
| Node | Operations |
|---|---|
| Android Texter | Send SMS/MMS · Get Message Status · Get Conversation History · List Devices · Create Contact · Flag/Unflag Spam |
| Android Texter Trigger | Polls every minute for new inbound SMS, starts your workflow when one arrives |
Quick start
- Install the node in n8n: Settings → Community Nodes → Install →
n8n-nodes-android-texter - Generate an API key at androidtexter.com/dashboard/settings/api-keys (starts with
atx_) - Create a credential in n8n: Credentials → New → Android Texter API → paste your key
- Drop the node onto your canvas — the credential test should pass green
Use cases
- Lead capture → SMS reply. Webhook from your form → AT trigger fires → branch on body → reply.
- Order confirmation. New Shopify order → send a personalized confirmation SMS from your business phone.
- Two-way support. New inbound SMS → ChatGPT for a draft reply → human approves → AT sends.
- Group blast. Spreadsheet of phones → loop → send. (Use the HTTP Request node with
/api/messages/broadcastif you need the bulk endpoint specifically.)
Authentication
Bearer-style API key, sent as X-API-Key. No OAuth flow.
X-API-Key: atx_abc123...
The credential test hits GET /api/me — the cheapest authenticated round-trip — and shows the green check on success.
Operations reference
Message → Send
Inputs:
- To Phone (required) — recipient. Any format; the server normalizes (
+15551234567,5551234567,(555) 123-4567all work). - Message (required) — body, up to 1600 chars.
- Additional Options:
- Device ID — pick a specific phone if you have multiple linked. Default: first online device.
- Media URL — public HTTPS URL to an image/video. Including this makes the message an MMS.
- Scheduled At — ISO 8601 datetime; queue the send for later instead of immediately.
Returns: { status: 200, message_id, device_id, device_name, phone_number, message }.
Message → Get Status
Inputs: Message ID (from a previous Send).
Returns: { id, status: "queued" | "sent" | "delivered" | "failed", phone }.
Message → Get History
Paginated history with one phone. Inputs: Phone, Page, Limit (1–100). Newest-first.
Device → List
Lists every Android device linked to your account, including online/offline status and last-seen timestamp.
Contact → Create
Upserts by phone (existing contacts get updated, not duplicated). Inputs: Phone, Name, Tags (comma-separated).
Spam → Flag / Unflag
Flag a phone as spam. Hides the thread from the inbox and suppresses notifications. If your account has live-mode enabled, this also kicks off the AI evidence-collection agent.
Trigger reference
Android Texter Trigger polls GET /api/messages/received once per minute (default n8n polling cadence; configurable in the workflow's "Polling Times" setting). Each new inbound message becomes one execution item.
State is per-workflow: the trigger remembers the most recent created_at it's seen and only emits messages newer than that, so reactivating a workflow doesn't replay history.
- Filter by Phone — limit triggers to a specific number. Leave blank for all inbound.
