What you can automate

What can the 019 sms Make integration do for you?

The 019 sms Make integration lets a Make scenario, the automation you build step by step, send text messages and update contact lists in your 019 sms account without you opening it. Each step of a scenario is a module, and all 4 modules of 019 sms are actions: they do something when an earlier step hands them data.

Confirm an order by text. When your shop or booking tool records a new order, a scenario passes the customer's details to Send SMS Message and the confirmation leaves on its own. One customer, one text, no copy and paste.

Grow a list from a form. A clinic or a gym collects phone numbers through a signup form. Add Number to Contact List files each new number in the right list, and Remove Number From Contact List takes it out again when the person asks to stop hearing from you.

Alert a whole team at once. A support lead wants every on-call technician warned when an urgent ticket lands. Send Multiple SMS Messages is the module whose name points at that job: several texts from a single step.

What Make cannot do here: 019 sms has no trigger, so nothing in 019 sms starts a scenario by itself, and there is no Make an API Call module to reach features the 4 modules skip. Make also says its own documentation for this app is limited. If a scenario misbehaves, the Make troubleshooting guide is the place to start, and the n8n vs Make comparison helps if you are still choosing a tool.

Connect

How do you connect 019 sms to Make?

  1. 01

    Open a module and create the connection

    Add any 019 sms module to a scenario, then click Create a connection. A connection is your 019 sms account linked to Make once; every other 019 sms module in your scenarios reuses it, so you only do this step one time.

  2. 02

    Give it a name you will recognize

    Naming the connection is optional, but it pays off the day you run two accounts, say one for marketing texts and one for alerts. A clear name tells you at a glance which account a module is sending from.

  3. 03

    Authorize Make and save

    Depending on what the window asks for, either approve access on the 019 sms page or paste the key your 019 sms account gives you. Then click Save. The module is now ready to use your account.

First scenario

Build your first scenario with 019 sms

GoalWhen a new contact arrives from your form or CRM, Make adds the number to a 019 sms list and sends a welcome text.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    Go to the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the big +. Since 019 sms has no trigger, this first module comes from the app where your new contacts appear, such as a form tool or your CRM.

  2. 02

    Add the number to a list

    Click the + to the right of that first module, search for 019 sms and pick Add Number to Contact List. Connect your account, then map the number that the previous module received.

  3. 03

    Send the welcome text

    Add one more module with the +: Send SMS Message. It reuses the same connection. Map the number again from the first module and write your message, pulling in the contact's first name if your form collects it.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once and submit a test entry with your own phone. Each module shows the bundles it received, a bundle being one item passed along, here one contact. Check the text actually reached you.

  5. 05

    Schedule and switch it on

    Open the clock on the first module to set the schedule, every 15 minutes by default for a new scenario, then turn the scenario on. From here, each new contact triggers the list update and the text.

Modules

The 4 modules of 019 sms in Make

019 sms gives you 4 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

019 sms1

Add Number to Contact List

ActionIn the docs only

Your 019 sms lists fill themselves: each number that reaches this module lands in the list you choose, ready for later campaigns without any manual import.

When to use it
right after a form submission or a new CRM contact, so people who opted in are grouped before you ever text them.
Watch out
the doc gives no detail on fields, so run the scenario once with a test number and check the list in 019 sms.
019 sms2

Remove Number From Contact List

ActionIn the docs only

Keeps your lists honest: someone who asks to stop receiving messages disappears from the list, so the list only holds people who still want your texts.

When to use it
when a customer unsubscribes in your CRM or a membership ends, so the list mirrors who still wants to hear from you.
Watch out
map the number exactly as it went into the list, then confirm with Run once that the right person was removed.
019 sms3

Send Multiple SMS Messages

ActionIn the docs only

One step instead of many: as the name says, this module sends several texts at once, which keeps a scenario short when a single event concerns a whole group.

When to use it
warning an on-call team about an urgent ticket, or telling every attendee that an event room has changed.
Watch out
the documentation does not explain how recipients are passed in, so test on a couple of your own numbers before a real send.
019 sms4

Send SMS Message

ActionIn the docs only

The everyday workhorse: one event, one text to one person, built from the data earlier modules pass along, like a name or an order reference.

When to use it
order confirmations, appointment reminders tied to a booking, or a code sent when a customer signs up.
Watch out
each run of this module on one bundle counts as an operation on your Make plan, so a scenario fed by a big list uses operations quickly.

FAQ

Questions people ask about 019 sms and Make

01Is the 019 sms Make integration free?
Yes, on the Make side. 019 sms is a standard app, so it works from the Free plan. That plan allows 2 active scenarios, a minimum of 15 minutes between scheduled runs, runs of up to 5 minutes and files up to 5 MB. Paid plans (Core, Pro, Teams, Enterprise) lower the interval to 1 minute and remove the cap on active scenarios. Make counts each module run as an operation against your monthly credits. Whatever 019 sms charges for the texts themselves is a separate matter handled in your 019 sms account.
02What do you need to connect 019 sms to Make?
A 019 sms account and a Make account. Make's documentation lists no specific prerequisite for this app. You add a 019 sms module, click Create a connection, optionally name it, then either approve access or paste the key your 019 sms account provides, and save. Because Make says its documentation for 019 sms is limited, you may need to look in your 019 sms settings or contact their support if the connection window asks for something you cannot find.
03Can 019 sms start a Make scenario in real time?
No. 019 sms has no trigger module, so it never starts a scenario on its own. Two ways around it: put another app's trigger first, for example the instant trigger of a form tool, which calls Make as soon as someone submits, and let the 019 sms modules follow. Or start the scenario on a schedule, every 15 minutes by default, down to 1 minute on paid plans. Either way, the texts go out after the event that opens the scenario.
04What if a 019 sms module you need is missing in Make?
It depends on what is missing. The integration has exactly 4 modules: add and remove a number from a contact list, send one SMS, send multiple SMS. There is no Make an API Call module for this app, so you cannot reach other features of 019 sms through a raw request inside Make. Your options are another SMS app among the 3,000+ standard apps in Make, or asking the team to look at your use case with you.
05Should you use Make or n8n for 019 sms?
It depends on your criteria. In Make, 019 sms is available with 4 action modules from the Free plan and no code, which covers sending texts and managing lists. Whether n8n offers a node for 019 sms is not covered here, so check its catalog before comparing. Then look at which tool already runs your other automations, how you prefer to build, and which modules each side actually offers for the job. The comparison page on this site lays those criteria side by side.
