Configuration

Option	Description
`Kudosity API Key` Type: string Required: True	Your Kudosity API key from Settings → API Keys. If you don’t have one yet, sign up for a free developer trial at https://kudosity.com/developer-trial. This authenticates all SMS requests to Kudosity's API.
`Sender Number or ID` Type: string Required: True	Your approved sender number or alphanumeric ID. Use E.164 format (e.g. +61412345678) for numbers. Alphanumeric IDs (max 11 characters, e.g. 'MyCompany') are allowed. Must be pre-approved in your Kudosity account.
`Recipient Phone Number` Type: string Required: True	Phone number to receive SMS alerts, in E.164 format (e.g. +61412345678). You can also use PostHog variables like {person.properties.phone} or {event.properties.oncall_number} for dynamic routing.
`Message Template` Type: string Required: True	The text body of your alert message. Use PostHog variables inside curly braces, e.g.: ⚠️ {event.properties.insight_name} is {event.properties.current_value} (threshold: {event.properties.threshold_value}). Messages over 160 characters will be split automatically.
`Message Reference` Type: string Required: False	Optional custom ID for tracking this alert (max 500 chars). You can include variables such as {event.properties.alert_id} to correlate with Kudosity delivery logs.
