How It Works
This n8n workflow begins with a manual trigger that activates the automation process. It first retrieves phone numbers from a specified Airtable database, validates the contact information, and then uses Twilio's SMS node to send personalized messages. The workflow includes error handling and logging mechanisms to ensure message delivery and track communication attempts. By leveraging n8n's node-based architecture, the automation can be customized to include conditional logic, message templates, and complex routing strategies.
