# Sendchamp

> Learn how to use the Sendchamp provider to send sms notifications using Novu

You can use the [Sendchamp](https://www.sendchamp.com/) provider to send SMS messages to your customers using the Novu Platform with a single API to create multi-channel experiences.

## Getting Started

To use the Sendchamp provider in the SMS channel, the first step is to create a Sendchamp account and add your API key and Sender ID to the Sendchamp integration on the Novu platform.

## Retrieving your API Key

To find your Sendchamp API key:

* [Sign up](https://my.sendchamp.com/signup) or [Login](https://my.sendchamp.com/login) to your Sendchamp account.
* Click on the Avatar icon in the top right corner of the screen, and then click `API & Integrations` from the drop-down menu.

The Sender ID represents the sender of the message to your customers.

To get your Sender's ID:

* On the sidebar (on the menu on your left), click on `SMS`. This will display a dropdown. Click on `Sender ID` from the dropdown options.
* On the page that appears, you'll find a list of your Sender IDs
