What you can automate

What does the SMS Niaga Make integration do?

The SMS Niaga Make integration lets a Make scenario, the automation you build as a chain of modules, send text messages through your SMS Niaga account. It has no trigger of its own: another app or a schedule starts the scenario, and SMS Niaga delivers the message at the end.

A reminder that goes out by itself. A booking tool records an appointment, and the next module, Send an SMS, texts the customer. Nobody has to copy a phone number by hand. If you already schedule with a booking app, the 10to8 Make integration page shows what that side of the flow can provide.

An alert for the team on the move. A form submission, a failed payment or a new ticket in another app can end with a text to the person on duty. The form side is covered on the 123FormBuilder Make integration page.

Anything the listed modules leave out. When you need an endpoint of the SMS Niaga API that has no dedicated module, Make an API Call reaches it with the same connection.

What Make does not do here: it cannot start a scenario from SMS Niaga, because the app has no trigger. Make also warns that its SMS Niaga documentation is AI-generated from the vendor's docs, so check anything important with SMS Niaga directly. The same app often exists as an n8n node; the n8n vs Make comparison helps you pick a platform.

Connect

How do you connect SMS Niaga to Make?

  1. 01

    Copy your API token

    You need an active SMS Niaga V2 account. Open your profile or API Token in the top right menu, click Regenerate, then copy the token shown on screen. Keep it at hand for the next step.

  2. 02

    Add the module and create the connection

    In your Make scenario, add an SMS Niaga module and click Create a connection. A connection is your SMS Niaga account linked to Make once, then reused by every SMS Niaga module you add later.

  3. 03

    Name it and paste the credentials

    The Connection name field is optional, but a clear name helps when you run several accounts. Paste the token you copied from SMS Niaga, or follow the on-screen instructions, and save the connection.

First scenario

Build your first scenario with SMS Niaga

GoalWhen a new record lands in another app, Make sends a text message through SMS Niaga.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    From the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the + to add the first module. Pick the app where the event happens, such as your form or booking tool.

  2. 02

    Set up the starting module

    Connect that first app and fill its fields. Once the connection exists, Make lists the objects it can read, so you choose from a menu instead of typing names.

  3. 03

    Add Send an SMS

    Click the + on the right of the first module, search for SMS Niaga and pick Send an SMS. Select the connection you created, then map data from the previous module into its fields.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once to execute the scenario one time. Open each module to read the bundles it received, a bundle being one item passed along, and check that the text reached your own phone.

  5. 05

    Schedule and switch on

    Set the schedule on the first module, every 15 minutes by default, then switch the scenario on. Each module run on a bundle counts as one operation on your Make plan.

Modules

What SMS Niaga modules can you use in Make?

SMS Niaga gives you 2 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

SMS Niaga1

Make an API Call

ActionIn the docs only

You get access to any endpoint of the SMS Niaga API from your scenario, reusing the connection you already set up. It covers whatever the dedicated module does not handle.

When to use it
pick it only when Send an SMS cannot do the job and you know which endpoint of the SMS Niaga API you need.
Watch out
Make lists no fields for you here, so read the vendor's API documentation before building the request.
SMS Niaga2

Send an SMS

ActionIn the docs only

Your scenario ends with a real text message on someone's phone, sent from your SMS Niaga account. This is the module most flows need, and it sits after whatever event started the scenario.

When to use it
a customer books a slot, a lead fills a form or an order ships, and that person should hear about it by SMS.
Watch out
test with Run once on your own number first, since every run sends a real message.

FAQ

SMS Niaga and Make: common questions

01Is the SMS Niaga Make integration free?
Yes, on the Make side. SMS Niaga is a standard app, available from the Free plan. That plan allows 2 active scenarios, a minimum of 15 minutes between scheduled runs, 5 minutes of execution per run, files up to 5 MB and 512 MB of data transfer. Paid plans bring the interval down to 1 minute and remove the cap on active scenarios. Sending texts also needs an active SMS Niaga account, whose subscription is described on the SMS Niaga pricing page.
02What do you need to connect SMS Niaga to Make?
You need an active SMS Niaga V2 account and an API token. To get the token, open your profile or API Token in the top right menu of SMS Niaga, click Regenerate and copy the value shown. In Make, add an SMS Niaga module, click Create a connection, give it a name if you like, and paste the token. The connection is then shared by both SMS Niaga modules in any scenario.
03Does the SMS Niaga Make integration react in real time?
No, because SMS Niaga has no trigger in Make: nothing in the app can start a scenario. The scenario starts from another app instead, through its own trigger, or from the schedule on the first module, which defaults to every 15 minutes. If that other app offers an instant trigger, it calls Make through a webhook as soon as something happens, and Send an SMS follows right after in the same run.
04What if a module is missing from the SMS Niaga Make integration?
Use Make an API Call. It reaches any endpoint of the SMS Niaga API with the same connection you already created, so you are not limited to the Send an SMS module. Before you start, you will need the vendor's API documentation to know which endpoint to call. Keep in mind that Make flags its own SMS Niaga documentation as AI-generated from the vendor's docs, so confirm important details with SMS Niaga.
05Should you use Make or n8n for SMS Niaga?
It depends on the platform your team already works in. The same app often has an n8n node, so check both catalogs for the modules you need. On Make, you get Send an SMS and Make an API Call, a Free plan to start testing, and a visual editor where each run can be checked with Run once. Base the choice on which tool your other apps and your colleagues already use, rather than on SMS Niaga alone.
