# Install the MessageBird for Salesforce app

This article entails the process to install MessageBird for Salesforce Sales and Service Cloud from AppExchange. 

## Pre-requisites 

Before you get started, take a look at what you need to set this up.

* A [MessageBird account](https://dashboard.messagebird.com/en-us/sign-up)
* A Salesforce Enterprise (or higher) license with Lightning support
* Access to the SMS and WhatsApp Business channels
* Administrative access to Salesforce — as Salesforce for MessageBird is not a Salesforce license
* [MyDomain](https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=domain_name_overview.htm\&type=5) configured for Salesforce
* Your MessageBird Access Key and Signing Key

You can install it for Admins Only (recommended), for All Users, or for specific profiles. Select the option you want, click **Confirm**, then click **Install**!<br>
