## Overview

The SMS tab is located in the left sidebar of your Cloud Dashboard, under the **Speedtest** section. Expanding it gives you two sub-sections:

* **Messages:** read, send, and delete SMS messages from your endpoints
* **SMS Forwarding:** create webhook-based forwarding rules to route incoming SMS to external systems

You can also reach the SMS tab directly from the **Endpoints** page by selecting any endpoint and clicking the **SMS Actions** button, which takes you straight to the Messages screen for that endpoint.

**Android Agent users:** SMS functionality requires a special APK to work. Please [contact our support team](mailto:support@proxidize.com) to get it set up.
{% endhint %}

## Messages

All message actions are performed from **SMS → Messages**. Select your host and endpoint from the dropdowns, then choose an action.

### Read SMS

Select **Read** from the Action dropdown and click **Fetch Messages** to load all received messages for that endpoint. Each message is displayed with:

* **Timestamp:** when the message was received
* **Sender:** the number it was sent from
* **Content:** the message body

### Delete SMS

**Available on:** Business plan only

There are two ways to delete messages:

* **Delete a specific message:** click the bin icon on the right side of any message row
* **Delete all messages:** click the **Delete All SMS** button above the message list

{% hint style="warning" %}
Deleted messages cannot be recovered.
{% endhint %}

## SMS Forwarding

**Available on:** Business plan only

SMS Forwarding lets you create rules that automatically send incoming SMS messages as API calls to an external system or webhook URL, useful for integrating with third-party platforms or automating workflows.

### Enable SMS Forwarding

Before creating any rules, you need to enable SMS Forwarding for the host first. Go to **Host Settings → Host tab**, find the **SMS Forwarding** toggle, and enable it.

### Managing Forwarding Rules

Once enabled, go to **SMS → SMS Forwarding** to manage your rules. Each rule is tied to a specific endpoint and phone number, with a destination webhook URL.

From this page you can:

* **Add** a new forwarding rule
* **Edit** an existing rule
* **Enable / Disable** individual rules
* **Delete** rules individually or all at once via **Delete All Forwarding Rules**

## Advanced: Accessing SMS Without the Dashboard

For users who prefer direct access, SMS messages can also be managed outside of the Cloud Dashboard:

* **Linux Agent users:** access SMS directly through the modem's web interface. [Learn how to access your modem's web interface →](broken://pages/924f1a6785b93e99183b482e69ba4d93b7bbdf47)
* **Android Agent users:** SMS can be read and managed directly from the Android device itself

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.proxidize.com/legacy-products/proxy-builder/proxy-builder-cloud-dashboard/sms-actions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
