# AWS SNS SMS Provider (/platform/integrations/sms/aws-sns)

Learn how to use the AWS SNS provider to send sms notifications using Novu

You can use the [AWS SNS](https://aws.amazon.com/sns/) provider to send transactional emails to your customers using the Novu Platform with a single API to create multi-channel experiences.

## Getting Started

To integrate AWS SNS on the Novu platform, you will need to have in AWS, an IAM user who has the `sns:Publish` permission.

## Create User

To create a user, log in to AWS Console and follow these steps:

* Go to the `IAM` service page.
* Create a new user with `sns:Publish` permission, or add `sns:Publish` permission to an existing user.
* Add the `Access Key` credential to the user and copy the `Access key ID` and the `Secret access key`.

For security reasons, it is suggested that you create a new User to use with Novu.

## Create an AWS SNS integration with Novu

* Visit the [Integrations](https://dashboard.novu.co/integrations?utm_campaign=docs-sms-sns) page on Novu.
* Click the "Add a provider" button.
* Locate **Amazon SNS** and click on the **Connect** button.
* Enter your `Access Key ID`, `Secret Access key`, and `AWS region`.
* Click on the `Disabled` button and mark it as `Active`.
* Click on the **Save** button.
* You should now be able to send SMS notifications using **Amazon SNS** in Novu.
