# Sending SMS from 3rd Party Providers

If your service provider is already integrated with Mobivate SMS, you should be able to configure your **API Key** on their platform and this should enable you to send SMS directly from the 3rd Party software.

{% hint style="info" %}
The **API Key**, you can find on [our portal](https://hub.mobivate.com/) under the **User Profile** section.
{% endhint %}

If your service provider is not already integrated, you can ask them to do so. It should only take them few minutes to complete the integration using this simple API:

### **Request URL**

```http
https://api.mobivatebulksms.com:443/send/single?api_key={API_Key which you provide to them}
```

### **Content Type**
