Step 1. Account Setup

If you do not have an account with ValueFirst yet, you will have to create an enterprise account by contacting their support here. Once you have registered yourself on DLT and created an ValueFirst account, you can then add ValueFirst Integration in Raven.

If you are sending SMSs in India, TRAI has mandated to register their business, headers (sender IDs), and templates on any of the DLT platforms. Follow the guide here to get the setup done.
