# Configure SMS Provider Connection
*Applies to: Patch My PC Publisher V2.x*
The **SMS Provider** is the interface that enables all interactions with ConfigMgr, including actions performed in the ConfigMgr console and through supported APIs. The Publisher also relies on the SMS Provider to perform operations such as triggering SUP synchronizations, creating and modifying applications, and distributing content.
The SMS Provider configuration is shared across the Publisher. When you configure the SMS Provider from **Updates > Options**, the same settings are automatically used in other areas of the product, including **ConfigMgr Apps > Options** and the **Sync Schedule** tab.
For information on how to configure the SMS Provider connection, please see: [Configure the SMS Provider Connection](/patch-my-pc-publisher/publisher-reference/configure-the-sms-provider-connection.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.patchmypc.com/patch-my-pc-publisher/administration/updates/options/configure-sms-provider-connection.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
