Nodes

VirtualSMS (action)

Resource Operations
Order Buy Number, Get Status, Cancel, List, Check Price
Service List
Country List
Account Get Balance

Check Price is unauthenticated and reports back success/error along with the current cost for a service/country combination — useful as a pre-flight before Buy Number.

VirtualSMS Trigger

Three polling triggers:

  • Order Received SMS — fires once per order that newly transitions to received
  • Order Expired — fires once per order that newly transitions to expired
  • Low Balance — fires once when balance crosses below configurable USD threshold (debounced)

Triggers are polling-based because VirtualSMS does not currently expose a customer-facing outbound webhook subscription endpoint. The trigger node tracks seen-order IDs in workflow state to dedupe across poll intervals.

Service codes

VirtualSMS services use short codes, not slugs. Examples:

Service Code
WhatsApp wa
Telegram tg
7-Eleven aws
Caffe Nero bqo

Use the Service: List operation to discover the full catalog.

Example flow

Schedule Trigger → VirtualSMS (Buy Number wa/GB) → Wait 30s → VirtualSMS Trigger (Order Received SMS) → ...

Or VirtualSMS Trigger (Order Received SMS) → IF sms_code present → Slack message.
