Send an SMS

Select communication type	Select SMS as the type of alert that you want to configure
SMS Body	Enter the text that you want to send in the SMS

Note: To fetch and send out dynamic values in the alerts, use the following syntax:[[$<key of the field>]]

Please refer to the above image for an example of the use of keys for dynamic values. In this example, e is the key that is obtained from the backend, the dynamic value of which will be sent out in the SMS.

You are required to go through a few additional steps for whitelisting SMS templates before the system can send out messages:

1. Get your message template whitelisted from a DLT platform and obtain a template ID.

2. Enter this template ID in a bulk SMS provider platform and get it accepted.

You can now manage your SMSes and templates in the bulk SMS provider platform. For more information, see https://www.trai.gov.in/.
