# SMS
## SMS Notifications in BuildingPro Suites
The **SMS** notification provider in BuildingPro Suites 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 **cannot be configured via the frontend**. Instead, the parameters must be transmitted directly to the service. Please contact your system administrator to make the necessary settings.
***
## Combining Alarms
Alarms can also be grouped here as with other notification providers.
