SMS → Send

This node sends SMS messages via the Alive5 API. It is useful for automating SMS communication, such as sending notifications, alerts, or marketing messages to phone numbers. Users select a channel and an agent (user) from that channel, specify the recipient's phone number, and compose the message to be sent.
Use Case Examples
- Sending a notification SMS to a customer when their order status changes.
- Sending marketing SMS campaigns to a list of phone numbers.
- Alerting a user via SMS when a system event occurs.
