Quickstart
The purpose of this guide is to help you create a working sample of the Send SMS and Start Job activities. This working sample enables you to quickly verify the connection to your Upwire account and get familiar with the activity's input/output datatypes.
By completing the steps in this guide, you'll have an automation sequence that does the following:
- Establishes a connection to your Upwire account via the Upwire Scope activity.
- Starts a job that runs a Send SMS template flow via the Start Job activity (your mobile will receive an SMS message)
- Sends a second SMS message (after the Send SMS template flow) via the Send SMS activity (your mobile will receive a second SMS message).
Before you begin:
