Send an SMS using the Mocean node
https://n8nworkflows.xyz/workflows/send-an-sms-using-the-mocean-node-667
# Send an SMS using the Mocean node
### 1. Workflow Overview
This workflow is designed to send an SMS message using the Mocean node in n8n. It targets use cases where a user wants to manually trigger the sending of an SMS through the Mocean API, for example for notifications, alerts, or testing SMS delivery. The workflow consists of two logical blocks:
- **1.1 Manual Trigger Input:** A node to manually initiate the workflow execution.
- **1.2 SMS Sending via Mocean:** A node that sends an SMS message using the Mocean API with configurable recipient, sender, and message content.
---
### 2. Block-by-Block Analysis
#### 1.1 Manual Trigger Input
- **Overview:**
This block acts as the entry point for the workflow. It allows manual execution of the workflow by a user in the n8n editor or via the API.
- **Nodes Involved:**
- On clicking 'execute'
- **Node Details:**
- **Node Name:** On clicking 'execute'
- **Type:** Manual Trigger (`n8n-nodes-base.manualTrigger`)
- **Technical Role:** Starts the workflow execution on user command, without requiring external input or schedule.
- **Configuration:** No special parameters configured; it simply triggers execution when clicked.
- **Expressions/Variables:** None.
- **Inputs:** None (trigger node).
- **Outputs:** Connected to the Mocean node to pass execution forward.
- **Version Requirements:** Compatible with n8n version 0.120+ (standard feature).
- **Potential Failures:** None expected; manual trigger is straightforward.
- **Sub-workflow Reference:** None.
#### 1.2 SMS Sending via Mocean
- **Overview:**
This block sends an SMS message using the Mocean API. It requires configuration of the recipient number, sender ID, and message text. It leverages n8n's Mocean node with API credentials.
- **Nodes Involved:**
- Mocean
- **Node Details:**
- **Node Name:** Mocean
- **Type:** Mocean SMS Node (`n8n-nodes-base.mocean`)
- **Technical Role:** Sends SMS messages by calling the Mocean API with provided parameters.
- **Configuration Choices:**
- `to`: The recipient phone number (currently empty, must be set before execution).
- `from`: The sender ID or phone number (currently empty).
- `message`: The SMS content text (currently empty).
- **Expressions/Variables:** None configured; all parameters are static and empty by default.
- **Inputs:** Receives trigger from the Manual Trigger node.
- **Outputs:** Returns Mocean API response after sending SMS (not connected further in this workflow).
- **Credentials:** Uses Mocean API credentials named "mocean" which must be configured in n8n beforehand.
- **Version Requirements:** Requires n8n version supporting the Mocean node (available since approximately v0.120).
- **Potential Failure Types:**
- Authentication errors due to invalid or missing Mocean credentials.
- Invalid phone number format or missing recipient number.
- Message content empty or exceeding length limits.
- Network or API timeout errors.
- **Sub-workflow Reference:** None.

### 3. Summary Table
| Node Name | Node Type | Functional Role | Input Node(s) | Output Node(s) | Sticky Note |
|-----------------------|-------------------------|--------------------------|------------------------|----------------|-------------|
| On clicking 'execute' | Manual Trigger | Start workflow execution | None | Mocean | |
| Mocean | Mocean SMS Node | Send SMS via Mocean API | On clicking 'execute' | None | |
---
### 4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch
1. **Create Manual Trigger Node**
- Add a new node of type "Manual Trigger" (`n8n-nodes-base.manualTrigger`).
- No special parameters required. This node will allow manual execution.
2. **Create Mocean Node**
- Add a new node of type "Mocean" (`n8n-nodes-base.mocean`).
- Configure the following parameters:
- **To:** Enter the recipient phone number in international format (e.g., +1234567890).
- **From:** Enter the sender ID or phone number registered with Mocean.
- **Message:** Enter the SMS message text to be sent.
- Assign Mocean API credentials:
- Go to Credentials in n8n and add new Mocean API credentials. Provide API key and secret as required by Mocean.
- Select the created credential in the node configuration.
3. **Connect Nodes**
- Connect the output of the Manual Trigger node to the input of the Mocean node.
4. **Save and Execute**
- Save the workflow.
- Click "Execute Workflow" manually to send the SMS.

### 5. General Notes & Resources
| Note Content | Context or Link |
|-----------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------|
| Ensure Mocean API credentials are correctly configured to avoid authentication errors. | Mocean API Documentation: https://www.moceanapi.com/docs |
| Phone numbers should be in international format for compatibility with Mocean SMS sending. | Mocean SMS Format Requirements |
| Test with small message content to avoid exceeding SMS length limits. | SMS Character Limits |
