Setting up thinq.io SMS on the Vodia phone system involves several key configurations within the thinq.io user portal. First, you must configure your thinq.io number to support SMS. Next, set up the IP allow list by adding your Vodia phone system's IP address under Messaging. For messaging URLs, specify your DNS for both inbound and outbound messages, being sure to select the appropriate formats. After creating your API tokens in thinq, record your Account ID for Vodia integration. Finally, navigate to the Vodia system settings to input thinq.io details and enable SMS for user extensions, ensuring unique SMS numbers for each user.
