Use Third Party Email and SMS Providers

You can use some third party email and SMS providers to send notifications to your customers about session updates. Then select either the default Lightico provider or a third party provider in the system and team settings.

Lightico default SMS provider is Twilio and the default email provider is Amazon SES. The following providers are available for custom integration: 

• Sms: Twilio, Textel
• Email: IMI/Webex Connect

This article explains how to set up the integration with the third party service and then to define the provider in system and team settings.
