How to use Message API in PowerAutomate

You can use Message API in PowerAutomate. However please note that it requires a Premium version of PowerAutomate as the HTTP action is not included in the standard plan.

 

First step: Create the action to send a SMS.

To trigger a SMS via PowerAutomate you will need to an action named "HTTP". You can find it in the list of actions :

Second step: Add the details for the action parameters.

Once that the action has been added, you will have to configure the parameters :

You will have to adapt the body with your own information :

  • APIKEYRINGRING should be replaced by the ApiKey from our portal.
  • XXXXXXXX should be replaced by the recipient number.
  • Text in the message: Your own message.

Third step: Add dynamic data from previous triggers / actions of PowerAutomate to the parameters.

You will have to use the data from previous steps or from your trigger to automatically be included in the messages / recipient.

Here is an example from which we use the data from previous actions in the flow :
PhoneNumber, FirstName and Date.

 

In this case we will send a SMS to "PhoneNumber" with the text : "Hello XXXXXX you have an appointment on YYYYY" where XXXXXX and YYYYY have their own values based on previous actions / triggers.

To add one of those dynamic fields, click on this icon next when you are in the body : 

It will open a popup window with the list of available dynamic content.
