Installation
When inside Adalo's workspace, go to Add component > Marketplace > look for SMS Verification by ClickSend and install.
Authentication
Authenticate the SMS component by adding your ClickSend credentials. Go to API Credentials and fill in username and key.

- 'api_key' is the API key found in the ClickSend dashboard: https://dashboard.clicksend.com/#/account/subaccount
Configuration
The SMS Component is Flexible and you can customise and style it as per your requirement.
Go to Verification menu > Message body. To automatically generate an OTP on messages, include %otp% merge placeholder on the body of message.
When user enters their phone number and click get OTP button, they get to receive an OTP. You can customise this button based on your requirement.

Users can also change their phone number if they have entered incorrectly.
