Send SMS from Zapier

A Zap can send an SMS through SMSEagle, your own hardware SMS gateway, whenever something happens in one of your apps.

A ready SMSEagle app in Zapier

You connect the SMSEagle app in Zapier with your device address and API token, with no code to write.

Any app can start the SMS

The trigger can come from any app connected to Zapier, and SMSEagle sends the SMS.

No per-message fees

SMSEagle sends SMS through a regular SIM card, so you only pay for your mobile plan.

How it works

1

Trigger fires

An event in the app you picked as the Zap’s trigger runs, for example a new form submission or a status change.

2

Zap calls the SMSEagle action

The Zap passes the trigger’s data into the connected SMSEagle app, which is authenticated with the API access token you generated on the device.

3

SMS alert

SMSEagle delivers the alert over its own cellular connection, not through a third-party service, as an SMS to the recipient’s phone.

Set up in about 10 minutes

No dedicated SMS gateway subscription to buy. Connect SMSEagle’s app in “My Apps” with your API access token, then use it as an action in any Zap, pre-made or built from scratch in the Zap Editor.

SMSEagle sends SMS from your Zaps through your own SIM card, with no cloud SMS provider.

No per-message fees

SMSEagle sends SMS through a regular SIM card, so you only pay for your mobile plan.

Alerts keep going if one carrier fails

On devices with two SIM cards from different operators, SMSEagle switches to the second one when the first operator’s network is down.

Alerts keep working even if one device fails

Two SMSEagle devices can work as an HA cluster: if one fails, the other takes over sending.

SMSEagle configuration

    1. Create a new user in SMSEagle (menu System > Users) with access level “User”.
    2. Grant API access to the created user:
      • go to Settings > Global settings > API and open the API v1 page
      • click Create API key, fill in Key name and select that user as Owner
      • Add access permissions in section Permissions for: Send SMS, Send to contact, Send to group
      • click Create key. The access token is shown only once, right after saving.

Zapier configuration

Connect SMSEagle to your Zapier account

  • Log in to your Zapier account or create a new account.
  • Navigate to “My Apps” from the top menu bar.
  • Now click on “Connect a new account…” and search for “SMSEagle”
  • Use your credentials and token to connect your SMSEagle account to Zapier.

Once that’s done you can start creating an automation!

Build your Zap

Pick a trigger app and event, add SMSEagle as the action, and map the fields (recipient, message text) from the trigger’s data. Test the step, then turn the Zap on.
