What you can automate

What does the Thaibulksms Make integration do?

The Thaibulksms Make integration links your Thaibulksms account to Make, so a scenario can send text messages and check your SMS balance without anyone opening the Thaibulksms dashboard. A scenario is the automation you build in Make, and each step inside it is a module.

Confirm a booking by text. A clinic or a salon takes appointments in a form or a calendar app. That other app starts the scenario, and Send an SMS texts the customer a confirmation with the date pulled from the booking.

Keep an eye on your balance. Before a campaign goes out, Get a Remaining SMS Credit reads how much credit is left, so a later module can warn the marketing team by email or chat when the balance runs low.

Reach what the list does not cover. Thaibulksms has no trigger in Make, so nothing happens on the Thaibulksms side that can wake a scenario up. Make an API call lets you call any endpoint of the Thaibulksms API with the same connection when you need more than the two ready-made actions.

New to the editor? The Make training walks through modules, mapping and schedules, and the Make review helps you judge the tool before you commit. If you also weigh n8n, read n8n vs Make.

Connect

How do you connect Thaibulksms to Make?

  1. 01

    Copy your API key and secret

    Log in to Thaibulksms and open the Dashboard. In the navigation menu, go to the Developer or API section. Copy the API key and the API secret shown there, and keep both at hand for the next step.

  2. 02

    Add a Thaibulksms module

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

  3. 03

    Paste the credentials and save

    Give the connection a clear label in Connection name if you like; the field is optional. Paste the API key and the API secret you copied, then confirm. The module is now ready to use.

First scenario

Your first scenario with Thaibulksms

GoalWhen a new booking lands in another app, Make texts the customer through Thaibulksms.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    From the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the + to add the first module. The first module has to come from another app, since Thaibulksms offers no trigger.

  2. 02

    Pick the app that starts the flow

    Search for the tool where bookings or orders arrive, pick its trigger and connect that account. Each record it sends is a bundle: one item that flows from one module to the next.

  3. 03

    Add Send an SMS

    Click the + on the right of the first module, search Thaibulksms and choose Send an SMS. Select your connection, then fill its fields by mapping data from the booking module.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once to execute the scenario one time. Read the bundles each module received, and send this first message to your own phone.

  5. 05

    Schedule and switch on

    Set the schedule on the first module; a new scenario checks every 15 minutes by default. Then switch the scenario on. Each module run on a bundle counts as one operation on your plan.

Modules

What the Thaibulksms modules do

Thaibulksms gives you 3 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

Thaibulksms1

Get a Remaining SMS Credit

ActionIn the docs only

Reads the SMS credit left on your Thaibulksms account and passes it on, so the scenario knows your balance.

When to use it
place it before a batch of messages, or on its own schedule, with an email or chat module that alerts the team when credit runs low.
Watch out
run the scenario once and open the output bundle to see how the balance comes back before you build any alert or comparison on top of it.
Thaibulksms2

Make an API call

ActionIn the docs only

Opens the whole Thaibulksms API to your scenario: any endpoint can be called with the connection you already created, so you are not limited to sending a message or reading the balance.

When to use it
reach for it only when neither Send an SMS nor Get a Remaining SMS Credit does what the workflow needs.
Watch out
you write the request yourself, so keep the Thaibulksms API documentation open and test with Run once before switching the scenario on.
Thaibulksms3

Send an SMS

ActionIn the docs only

Sends a text message from your Thaibulksms account, built with data from earlier modules: a name, a date, an order number.

When to use it
any time an event elsewhere should end with a text to a customer or a colleague, such as a confirmed booking, a shipped parcel or a new support ticket.
Watch out
each run uses Thaibulksms credit and one Make operation per bundle, so a trigger returning many records sends many messages at once; point the first test at your own number.

FAQ

Thaibulksms and Make: frequent questions

01Is the Thaibulksms Make integration free?
Yes, on the Make side. Thaibulksms is a standard app, available from the Free plan, which allows 2 active scenarios, a minimum of 15 minutes between two scheduled runs, 5 minutes of execution per run, files up to 5 MB and 512 MB of data transfer. Paid plans (Core, Pro, Teams and Enterprise) lower the interval to 1 minute and count usage in credits each month. Sending messages still uses your Thaibulksms credit, which is billed by Thaibulksms under its own subscription, not by Make.
02What do you need to connect Thaibulksms to Make?
You need an active Thaibulksms account and two values from it: the API key and the API secret. Both appear in the Developer or API section of the Thaibulksms Dashboard. In Make, add a Thaibulksms module, click Create a connection, optionally name it, and paste the key and the secret. The same connection then serves all three Thaibulksms modules, so you only go through these steps one time, and every new scenario picks it from a list.
03Can a Thaibulksms scenario start on its own?
Not from Thaibulksms itself. The app has no trigger module in Make, only 3 actions, so nothing in Thaibulksms can start a scenario. You start the flow in one of two ways: with a trigger from another app, such as a form, a store or a CRM, or with a schedule on the first module, which runs every 15 minutes by default on a new scenario. The Thaibulksms modules then run as later steps of that scenario.
04What if a Thaibulksms feature is missing from Make?
Use the Make an API call module. It calls any endpoint of the Thaibulksms API with the connection you already set up, which covers what Send an SMS and Get a Remaining SMS Credit leave out. You write the request yourself, so keep the vendor documentation next to you. The Make documentation for this app also warns that its content is AI-generated and may contain mistakes, so confirm important details with Thaibulksms directly.
05Should you use Make or n8n for Thaibulksms?
It depends on the tool your team already works in. On Make, Thaibulksms has 3 ready modules, including a direct API call, and you build the scenario visually with a connection set up once. The same app often has an n8n node as well. Neither choice is ranked here: compare the modules each tool offers for Thaibulksms, then pick the editor your team is most comfortable maintaining and fixing over time.
