n8n Workflow: Send Apaleo Smart Lock PINs via Gmail & Twilio

Send Apaleo Smart Lock PINs automatically via Gmail & Twilio

This n8n workflow reads Apaleo Smart Lock PINs and delivers them to recipients by sending an email through Gmail and triggering delivery via Twilio. Built for reliable, scheduled automation, it helps you move from Apaleo PIN availability to customer notification without manual copy/paste.

What this workflow does

• Runs on a Schedule Trigger to check for updates on a consistent cadence.
• Uses an HTTP Request to fetch the relevant PIN information (e.g., current/updated Smart Lock PIN data) from your configured Apaleo source.
• Applies logic with a Code node to format the PIN details and prepare the message payloads.
• Sends the PIN to the intended recipient using the Gmail node (email delivery).
• Optionally triggers a corresponding notification using the Twilio node (SMS/voice capability via Twilio), ensuring recipients receive the access information through mobile channels as well.
• Includes a Sticky Note for workflow documentation and clarity for operators maintaining the automation.
