To configure VoIP Innovation SMS with Vodia PBX, start by ensuring you have Vodia version 66.0.7, a VoIP Innovations account, and a purchased DID number. Log in to your VoIP Innovations account, create an SMS-only API app using Apidaze, and set the SMS request URL to your PBX domain. Assign your DID number to this app for SMS functionality. Then, in the Vodia PBX, enable SMS at the domain level and configure the messaging settings by entering the API key, secret and SMS DID. Finally, test the SMS feature using the Vodia Windows App by sending a message to a number formatted as 1XXXXXXXXXX.
