SMS for Power Automate is another great SMS tool to add to your workflows, and the good news is, it'll only take a couple of minutes to set up and configure the connection.
1. Connecting the SMS function requires a Custom API Connector file called a JSON file. There's two variations of this file, depending on which region your Sinch MessageMedia account is held.

3. When the Save As window opens, the file name and type are already there so all you have to do is select where you want to save the file (you only need to upload it to Power Automate once so the desktop or downloads folder is fine), and click Save:

5. Next enter a Connector name, then click on Import and locate the API Connector file, then hit Continue:
6. Finally, click on Create connector:
7. When you exit out of that page, you should find your SMS for Power Automate API Connector in Custom connectors under Data:
