n8n SMS integration manual
Here we describe how to set up n8n SMS alerts and notifications. The integration works both ways: for outgoing and incoming SMS/MMS messages. The integration uses SMSEagle Hardware SMS Gateway. The process is easy and should take 10-15 minutes to complete.
SMSEagle is an offline hardware SMS gateway. Therefore no external connection to 3rd party system is required. All notifications are generated on-premise and sent directly to a cellular network. This solution can be used in secure installations without Internet access.
