Nodes

VirtualSMS (action)

| Resource | Operations |
|—|—|
| Order | Buy Number, Get Status, Cancel, List, Check Price |
| Service | List |
| Country | List |
| Account | Get Balance |

Check Price is unauthenticated and reports back success/error along with the current cost for a service/country combination — useful as a pre-flight before Buy Number.

VirtualSMS Trigger

Three polling triggers:

• Order Received SMS — fires once per order that newly transitions to received
• Order Expired — fires once per order that newly transitions to expired
• Low Balance — fires once when balance crosses below configurable USD threshold (debounced)

> Triggers are polling-based because VirtualSMS does not currently expose a customer-facing outbound webhook subscription endpoint. The trigger node tracks seen-order IDs in workflow state to dedupe across poll intervals.

Service codes

VirtualSMS services use short codes, not slugs. Examples:

| Service | Code |
|—|—|
| WhatsApp | wa |
| Telegram | tg |
| 7-Eleven | aws |
| Caffe Nero | bqo |

Use the Service: List operation to discover the full catalog.

Example flow

Schedule Trigger → VirtualSMS (Buy Number wa/GB) → Wait 30s → VirtualSMS Trigger (Order Received SMS) → ...

Or VirtualSMS Trigger (Order Received SMS) → IF sms_code present → Slack message.
