Automate Vonage

Send texts from your Vonage number on a schedule, route inbound SMS to wherever you actually read them, and keep an eye on your account credit. Reminders, customer replies and balance warnings run without anyone sitting at the Vonage dashboard. Describe what you want to your AI assistant, check what it will do, and it keeps running.

Try asking

Create a ClickRuntime automation: every weekday at 7am, send an SMS from my Vonage number to +447700900123 saying 'Reminder: stand-up at 9:30'.

Paste it into your assistant. It tells you what it will send or change before it runs live.

Ideas

What you can automate in Vonage

Texts that go out on time, inbound messages that land in your inbox, and a warning before your credit runs dry. These are ready-made starting points. Anything else you can describe works too.
On a schedule

Send a scheduled SMS from your Vonage number

A text reaches me, or everyone on my list, at the same time every day.

Any other automation you can describe in words

Your own rules, schedule and AI steps with Vonage, plus any other app. Describe it and your assistant builds it.

Build your own

Build any Vonage automation you can describe

The ideas above are ready-made starting points, not a fixed list. Describe what Vonage should do in your own words, with your conditions, other apps or an AI step, and your assistant writes it, tests it and runs it on ClickRuntime.

  • Your own rules

    Conditions, thresholds, filters and exceptions, written the way you'd explain them to a colleague.

  • Any number of apps

    One automation can read from one app and update several others. Over 248 apps are ready, and anything with an API works too.

  • AI where it helps

    Summaries, classification, extraction and drafts use ClickRuntime's built-in AI, with no extra key.

  • On a schedule or on each event

    Runs as often as every 5 minutes, or the moment an app sends an event, and keeps track of what it already handled.

For example, ask your assistant

Every morning at 8, send an SMS through Vonage to each customer with an appointment today, skipping anyone who opted out.

When a new row is added to our Google Sheet of orders, text the customer a confirmation through Vonage.

When a Calendly booking is made, text the person a Vonage SMS confirmation, add them to HubSpot and post the booking in Slack.

Beyond chat

Have Vonage work when you're not in the chat

Connecting Vonage to ChatGPT or Claude lets you ask about it while you chat. ClickRuntime handles the part that should happen on its own: checks on a schedule and actions on each new event, set up from the same chat and running after you close it.

Setup

Connect Vonage

You connect Vonage with the API key and secret from your own Vonage account. Nothing is shared with other ClickRuntime users.

Vonage

SMS / Voice

  1. Sign in to the Vonage API dashboard at dashboard.nexmo.com.
  2. Open API Settings and copy your API key and API secret.
  3. In the ClickRuntime dashboard, open Connections & secrets and save the key and secret as secrets for Vonage.

Good to know

Vonage limits that affect automations

  • Every SMS is billed to your Vonage account, so a schedule that texts a long list costs per message.
  • Sender ID rules differ by country, so the number or name a text comes from may not be the same everywhere.
  • Vonage retries an inbound message webhook for up to 24 hours if it doesn't get a 200 response, so a short outage doesn't lose texts.

FAQ

Questions about automating Vonage

What can ClickRuntime do with my Vonage account?
Send SMS from your Vonage numbers, receive texts sent to them, and read your account balance, using the API key and secret you saved.
Do inbound texts arrive straight away?
Yes. Vonage posts each inbound SMS to the automation's webhook as it arrives, and retries for up to 24 hours if delivery fails.
Who pays for the messages?
Your Vonage account does. ClickRuntime sends through your key, so every SMS is charged at your Vonage rates. A low-balance check can warn you before credit runs out.
Can I text a list of numbers, not just one?
Yes. Give your assistant the numbers, or point it at a sheet that holds them, and each one gets its own SMS. Keep the per-message cost in mind.
Do Vonage automations need AI?
Not for reminders, forwarding or balance checks. If you want texts written or summarised for you, that uses the AI included with every ClickRuntime plan, with no AI key of your own.
Is this a Vonage connector for ChatGPT or Claude?
Not for chatting with Vonage data. A chat connector lets your assistant read and change Vonage while you're in the conversation. ClickRuntime is for the work that should happen without you: you set up an automation from the chat once, and it keeps running on a schedule or on each Vonage event.
