# SMS Sending Configuration (API)

Thanks to the MessageFlow integration with SALESmanago, you gain the ability to execute advanced SMS sends directly from your Marketing Automation system. This solution allows you to send personalized marketing and transactional messages via the high-performance MessageFlow API.

> **Important information** 
>
> If your panel lacks the option to add a new provider, contact your SALESmanago account manager or their support team and request them to unlock external SMS integrations.

### Step 1: Obtaining API keys in the MessageFlow panel

The first stage is to retrieve the authentication data that will allow the systems to communicate securely:

1. Log in to your MessageFlow panel.
2. In the main menu, select the **Account** tab, and then go to the **Settings** section.
3. Find the **API** tab and click **+ New API Key** to generate a new key. Remember to check the permissions necessary for sending SMS messages when creating the key.
4. Copy and safely store two values: the **Application-Key** and the **Authorization** key.

2. In the side menu, select: **Channels** -> **Mobile Marketing** -> **Integrations**.

### Step 3: Filling in integration details

Enter the following information in the configuration form:

* **Account integration name**: Enter any identification name, for example, "MessageFlow SMS".
* **Sende**r: Enter the sender name (Alphanumeric Sender ID) that should appear on recipients' phones. Keep in mind that this name must be previously registered and approved in your MessageFlow panel.
* **Application Key**: Paste the previously copied Application-Key.
* **App Sid**: Paste the Authorization value from the MessageFlow panel.
* **Default prefix**: Leave this field empty (for numbers up to 12 characters long including the country code).

Additionally, you can activate options such as shortening links in messages or allowing diacritical marks. After filling out the fields, click **Save and activate**.

### Step 4: Testing the connection

Before launching your first campaign, verify that your configuration is correct:

1. In the Integrations section, locate the newly created profile and click the **Test SMS** option.

3. Type in the test content and click **Send**.
