Hello everyone,

Would like to have expert advice what are the possible ways for below requirement.

 

Customer Requirement:
For Major Incident communication update, customer would like to use 'SMS' functionality using which system should send text messages to required stakeholders on mobile devices.

 

Analysis so far done:
As per below ServiceNow docs, for Major Incident communication we can install and make use of 'Notify' functionality to send SMS.
https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/tokyo-servicenow-platform/page/product/notify2/concept/c_NotifyWi...

 

To send SMS, we can integrate ServiceNow with Twilio telephony service as per below docs.
https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/tokyo-it-service-management/page/product/incident-alert-managemen...

 

 

Queries on which need expert advice:
1. Is it possible to integrate ServiecNow with third party SMS provider (Non Twilio) using 'Notify' functionality to achive customer requirement ? If Yes how since could not see any reference on docs site.

2. Any other alternative/workaround solution do you see/implemented for this requirement, please share.
