[APP] Alive5 SMS

Author: imraghavojhaCreated Sep 12, 2026Updated Sep 16, 2026

Name of app / service Alive5, https://www.alive5.com. I work at Alive5 and am developing our SMS integration.

Is lack of support preventing you from moving forward, or do you have a workaround? Yes. Alive5 is not registered as a Pipedream app, so our connector needs an app/auth definition before its components can use connected accounts. We are building registry components and will link the pull request here.

Authentication is a single API key, entered as a secret field named api_key, sent as the X-A5-APIKEY HTTP header. Base URL: https://api.alive5.com/public/1.0. A read-only authentication test is GET /objects/channels-and-users/list. Check the JSON code and error envelope in addition to HTTP status. API keys are available in the Alive5 dashboard settings. Please register the app slug as alive5.

Are there specific actions or triggers you'd like to see for this app?

  • Send SMS, with dynamic business-number and sending-user selections.
  • New SMS Received, an instant webhook trigger with automatic registration and cleanup.
  • List Channels and Users, for account setup and mapping.

The webhook uses Alive5's per-number SMS interceptor API. It can post directly to a Pipedream source URL; no external relay or extra credentials are required. Alive5 currently makes one delivery attempt and does not emit image-only messages. Those service limits will be documented in the connector.
