The `MessageBird` notification platform sends notifications as SMS messages using [MessageBird](https://www.messagebird.com/) to your mobile phone.

To enable MessageBird notifications in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:

"target": [ "+49123456789", "+43123456789" ]
}
```
