Strapi SMS Plugin Documentation

Strapi is an open-source headless content management system (CMS) used to manage and deliver content across different platforms, such as websites, mobile apps, and IoT devices. Unlike traditional CMS platforms, Strapi separates the backend (content management) from the frontend (presentation), allowing users to build custom front-end applications using their preferred technologies. Strapi provides a flexible API that can be used to retrieve content in various formats, such as JSON, and integrate with other services. It also supports easy content creation, user permissions, and customizable workflows. Strapi is highly customizable and extensible, making it suitable for developers looking for a headless CMS to manage content in dynamic, multi-channel environments.

In our Strapi SMS plugin documentation we show you how to install and use the plugin.
