The `sinch` platform uses [Sinch](https://www.sinch.com/products/apis/messaging/sms/) to deliver notifications from Home Assistant.
## Prerequisites
Go to your [Sinch Dashboard](https://dashboard.sinch.com/sms/api/rest) and click "Add new REST API". You should now be able to obtain your `service_plan_id` and `api_key`.
## Configuration
To add Sinch to your installation, add the following to your Home Assistant `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
notify:
- platform: sinch
service_plan_id: SINCH_SERVICE_PLAN_ID
api_key: SINCH_API_KEY
```
{% configuration %}
