SMS in any Pipedream workflow

Pipedream lets you build workflows in Node.js, Python, or with no-code actions — and SimGate is a plain REST API, so it drops in as a single HTTP step or a few lines of code.

Trigger sends from anything Pipedream supports: a new Stripe payment, a GitHub push, a scheduled cron, an incoming webhook, or a database row change. The SimGate step fires last and the text goes out through your connected phone.

Connect Pipedream to SimGate

Add a trigger

Choose any Pipedream trigger: HTTP webhook, schedule, Stripe, GitHub, Airtable, or hundreds of other app events.

Add a Node.js or HTTP step

Insert a Code step (Node.js) or an HTTP / Fetch action after your trigger.

Call the SimGate API

POST to https://api.simgate.app/v1/sms/send with your x-api-key header and a JSON body containing deviceId, phoneNumber, and message.

Map dynamic values

Use Pipedream expressions like {{steps.trigger.event.email}} to pull recipient numbers or message text from earlier steps.

Node.js step example

javascript

1
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform";
2
3
export default defineComponent({
4
  async run({ steps, $ }) {
5
    return await axios($, {
6
      method: "POST",
7
      url: "https://api.simgate.app/v1/sms/send",
8
      headers: {
9
        "x-api-key": process.env.SIMGATE_API_KEY,
10
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
11
      },
12
      data: {
13
        deviceId: "android-5q15b182f2704gbz",
14
        phoneNumber: steps.trigger.event.phone,
15
        message: `Hi ${steps.trigger.event.name}, your order is confirmed.`,
16
      },
17
    });
18
  },
19
});

Drop this into a Pipedream Code step — map phoneNumber and message from your trigger event.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a special Pipedream app for SimGate?

No. SimGate is a plain REST API — use the built-in HTTP or Fetch action, or write a Code step in Node.js. No custom app needed.

How do I store the SimGate API key securely in Pipedream?

Add it as a Pipedream environment variable (Settings → Environment Variables) and reference it as process.env.SIMGATE_API_KEY in your Code step.

Can I receive inbound SMS back into Pipedream?

Yes — create a Pipedream HTTP trigger, copy the endpoint URL, and set it as your SimGate inbound webhook. Replies to your SIM will POST directly into your Pipedream workflow.

Is Pipedream free to use with SimGate?

Pipedream has a free tier that includes a generous number of monthly invocations. SimGate has its own free tier too, so you can test the combination at no cost.
