- Language: A dropdown menu to select the language and accent for the text-to-speech conversion. Options include "English (United States)" and other supported languages. This affects how your message sounds when spoken.
- Message: A text input field where you compose the content that will be converted to speech and played during the call.
Use cases:
- Send critical system alerts to on-call engineers when monitoring detects failures
- Deliver urgent appointment reminders for high-value consultations

- Create voice-based verification calls for high-security operations
💡 TIP: When using Send Voice, keep your messages concise and clear. Text-to-speech works best with simple sentences and natural phrasing. Avoid abbreviations, symbols, or complex formatting—spell out numbers and use punctuation to create natural pauses in the spoken message.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Mocean n8n integration free?
The n8n integration itself is free to use—Mocean is a native node included in n8n's open-source and cloud versions at no additional cost. However, you'll need a Mocean account with credits to send SMS and voice messages, as Mocean charges per message sent through their API. Pricing varies by destination country and message type (SMS vs. voice). We recommend starting with Mocean's pay-as-you-go option to test your workflows before committing to a larger package. The combination of n8n self-hosted (free) with Mocean's competitive per-message rates makes this one of the most cost-effective ways to automate business communications.What's the difference between Mocean's Send SMS and Send Voice actions in n8n?
Send SMS delivers a written text message to the recipient's phone, while Send Voice initiates an actual phone call that plays a text-to-speech version of your message. SMS is better for non-urgent notifications, confirmations, and messages recipients can reference later. Voice is ideal for urgent alerts requiring immediate attention—phone calls have a 95%+ answer rate for known numbers versus 20-30% open rates for SMS. In your n8n workflows, you might use SMS for order confirmations and Voice for critical security alerts or emergency notifications. Both actions require sender and recipient phone numbers, but Voice adds a language parameter to control the text-to-speech accent.

Most users complete their first working Mocean automation in under 10 minutes. The process involves three steps: creating a Mocean account and obtaining API credentials (2-3 minutes), configuring the credentials in n8n (1-2 minutes), and building your first workflow with the Send SMS or Send Voice action (5 minutes). If you already have a Mocean account, you can have a working SMS automation running in under 5 minutes. The visual nature of n8n means no coding is required—you simply drag the Mocean node onto your canvas, select your action, fill in the parameters, and connect it to your trigger.
