Hi,

For your requirement to send SMS, I think you need to subscribe to SMS delivery channel service, then you can use webhook in Grafana to connect to third party for SMS delivery.
To make it easier, in Grafana, you can use Telegram than SMS.

As I mention above, you need third party service to connect to your SMS number, unfortunately, Grafana doesn’t have direct API to SMS number unless you have the system that can connect from TCP/IP network to telecommunication provider.

If you’re looking to set up Grafana alerts to come through as SMS, here’s a simple way to do it.

First, you’ll need to integrate Grafana with an SMS service like Twilio. Sign up for Twilio, then get your account SID and Auth Token. In Grafana, go to the Alerting section and set up a new notification channel, choosing “Webhook” as the type. You’ll then need to configure the webhook URL to point to Twilio’s API.

As a tip, I once used a disposable phone number for testing purposes. It helped me ensure everything was working without using my personal number. Check out Quackr for temporary phone numbers if you need one for this. It made testing so much smoother.
