First, you have to log in to the user interface of your NAS. Then open the Control Panel. In the following screen, click on Notification in the System section.

Now you can set the sender name in the following window.

It is mandatory that you insert your API key here.

Also enter the phone number(s) where you want to receive the SMS.

Afterwards, you should send a test SMS to check if your settings are correct. You can do this by clicking the button Send a test SMS message on the bottom of the window.

If your test SMS arrives, you are done with the integration into your Synology NAS and you will receive SMS.
