Prerequisite

Introduction

In this article, we will try integrating both ClickSend and GitHub. So what we want to achieve here is to send an SMS to a contacts list when a new commit occurs in order to instantly inform and log for the management team.

So, let's get started.

Step 3:

Let's link your GitHub account.

Select Choose Account.

Click Connect an Account button.

Step 4:

Step 5:

There should be a popup saying to add or allow your Zapier and ClickSend account to be linked together.

Set the From input box as the name your business or project.
