Hi ,

I want technical help for reading the SMS from desktop client app API. I am not sure which API is there which creates POST call through which I can read the sms from phone app on desktop client. Also how to create authentication token?

I need step by step process so that I can create the rest api call. I am expecting to read in the response body the message I get on the SMS on Phone Zoom desktop client.

Please help me. I need it asap.
