# SMS
## SMS notifications in Eliona
The notification provider **SMS** in Eliona enables the configuration and management of SMS notifications to send alarms and other notifications directly via SMS. These notifications are ideal for time-critical messages.
***
## **Configuration**
The SMS settings can **not be configured via the frontend**. Instead, the parameters must be passed directly to the service. Please contact your system administrator to make the necessary settings.
***
## Combining alarms
Alarms can also be grouped here, just like with other notification providers.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.buildings.ability.abb/collection/english-v14/documentation/alarms-rules-and-escalations/escalations/notification-provider/sms.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
