Compatibility

• Tested against n8n version 1.0.0+.
• Docker smoke-tested with the current n8nio/n8n:latest image, including community-node installation, n8n startup, /healthz, and n8n export:nodes registration checks.
• Runtime metadata supports Node.js >=20.19 <25 to match current n8n community-node tooling and the latest n8n Docker image.
• Development and CI validation use Node.js 20 LTS or newer compatible with the n8n community-node tooling.

Usage

This node allows you to automate SMS sending and contact management using the Text.lk API. Ensure you have a valid API key and sufficient credit in your Text.lk account.

Package

• npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/n8n-nodes-textdotlk
• Repository: https://github.com/NPFernando/n8n-nodes-textdotlk

Security

• Store your Text.lk token only in n8n credentials.
• Do not hardcode tokens in workflows, exported workflow JSON, or repository files.
• Route identifier fields are constrained to route-safe alphanumeric values where n8n supports runtime field validation.
• SMS/contact fields include safer format guidance to avoid malformed API requests and accidental sensitive-data exposure.
• CI blocks critical production dependency advisories with npm run audit:prod. Current n8n upstream dependency trees can still report non-critical advisories; keep Dependabot enabled and review those updates as they become available.
• Open a GitHub issue for suspected package or node security issues. Do not include real tokens, customer phone numbers, or message contents in public reports.

Development

Prerequisites:

• Node.js 20 LTS or newer
• npm 10+

npm ci --ignore-scripts
npm run lint
npm run build
npx tsc --noEmit
npm run audit:prod
npm pack --dry-run

Use npm run validate:package for the standard local validation gate before publishing or opening a pull request.
