Hi,

Using x-pack actions, we have configured email alerts.  
What we also need, is to send alerts as an SMS.

Is it possible to send alerts as an SMS to mobile devices ?  
If so, which xpack action should be used and how?

Any help appreciated !  
Thanks

there is no built-in actions to send an SMS. You would need to use a webhook and sent your data to some SMS provider like twilio, Amazon SNS.

Hope this helps.
