Turn Toggl events into real-time SMS, Slack alerts, and logs with D7 SMS + Make
Connect Toggl to D7 SMS, Slack, and Google Sheets in Make to automate time-sensitive communications the moment work happens. Reduce manual follow-ups, keep teams aligned, and maintain clean records without writing glue code.
Core Features (D7 SMS API):
- Delivery reports: Gain real-time delivery status and timestamps through D7’s delivery reporting, enabling precise monitoring and alerting.
- Personalization: Inject dynamic fields (name, project, task, duration) from Toggl into your SMS templates for context-rich messages at scale.
- API flexibility: Use a robust, REST-based API with configurable sender params, message options, and headers ideal for advanced routing, retries, and error handling in Make.
Automation Flow:
1) Trigger: Toggl – New Event Triggered
- When a new time entry or project event occurs, Make captures key fields (user, project, task, start/stop time, notes).
2) D7 SMS – Send automated SMS message
- Map Toggl fields into a pre-set message template (e.g., “Project X logged: 2h by Alex”). Enable delivery reports to track status per recipient.
3) Slack – Notify team
- Post a concise, structured update to a channel (project, user, duration, link) so the team is informed instantly.
4) Google Sheets – Log entry
- Append a new row with the raw payload, normalized fields, timestamps, and D7 delivery status for audit and analytics.
5) Error handling and retries (optional)
- Use Make filters and error handlers for rate limits, transient failures, and idempotency keys to avoid duplicates.
Who It’s For:
- Developers: Need a reliable, REST-first SMS API with delivery reporting, flexible parameters, and clean Make mappings.
- Marketers: Want personalized, timely notifications tied to campaign or project activity without manual effort.
- Operations teams: Require real-time alerts and a single source of truth (Sheets) for compliance, escalation, and reporting.
