# ValueFirst

> Guide on how to add ValueFirst SMS Integration.

### 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](https://www.vfirst.com/say-ahoy). Once you have registered yourself on
DLT and created an ValueFirst account, you can then add ValueFirst Integration
in Raven.

<Note>
  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](https://www.textlocal.in/tcccpr-trai-dlt-registration/) to get the
  setup done.

send additional fields, please check our [Override doc](/sms/sms-template).
