# Introduction
Karix is a mobile engagement and communications provider enabling enterprises to intelligently personalize their two-way marketing and customer care interactions across multiple channels.
**Prerequisites** Ensure you have access to your Karix Dashboard and have the API key for your Karix account.
# Configure Karix as a Custom SMS Connector (Service Provider)
This article will help you set Karix as a Custom Connector on the MoEngage dashboard.
Log in to the MoEngage Dashboard and follow these steps:
1. Navigate to **Settings** > **Channel** > **SMS** > **Sender Configuration**.
2. Click **+Add Service Provider** at the top right corner.
3. Add the following details in the **Sender Details** screen. **Mark as default** Turn on this toggle to mark the sender as the default sender for the service provider being configured. If marked as default, this sender would be used for sending all SMS campaigns from MoEngage unless you select a different sender while creating the campaign.

| **Service provider name** | This field identifies the service provider you are configuring on the MoEngage Dashboard and has to be unique. Type the name of the service provider here. |
| **Sender name** | This field identifies the readable sender name that can be used while creating a campaign or alert. |
| **Sender type** | The Sender type can either be **Promotional** or **Transactional**. Choose the Sender type as Promotional when you would be using the Sender for sending information about your brand, promoting deals, or engaging with users. Choose the Sender type as Transactional when you would be using the Sender for sending alerts about transactions, OTPs, security information, or any information that can be classified as transactional in nature. |

| **Method** | Select **POST** as the HTTP method. |
| **URL Parameters** | Add the URL Parameters to be passed to the API as Key-Value pairs using this option. You can get this information from the API Documentation of the Sender. For example, if the API URL call uses the GET method, all the parameters, such as API Key, Authorization, and so on, are passed as URL Parameters. |
| **Headers** | Add the Request Headers to be passed to the API as Key-Value pairs using this option. You can get this information from the API Documentation of the Sender. Add the Authorization Header. |

“text”: “Moesms_message”,
“dest”: [Moesms_destination],

}
],
“key”: “API_KEY”,
“ver”: “1.0”
]/pre
```
Change value for these keys:
SENDER\_ID and API\_KEY - Set as per the Karix account credentials
(If the API key has '=' at the end, add the '=' in the Key Value Pair section explicitly)
