Hello Community,  
I am trying to understand the best way to solve our use case.

The task is to send an SMS when an event or alarm occurs.

We are working with a custom app in the frontend and microservices in the backend.

What options are available?  
Is there something out-of-the-box?

Thank you for the hints.  
Best regards,  
Manfred
