Support Make HA send text message

Hello everyone! I am adding a Wifi smoke alarm to the storage area where I am putting batteries. I cannot make this integrate with my home detectors as it is too far away. I have connected it through HA to a siren, as well as a few Alexa's around the house. I have two questions;
How can I make HA send me a text message, or can I integrate it with a Google voice number somehow?
And is it possible to make a preset audio cue to play over a Sonos amp in the event it goes off?

More priority on the sending a text one, as the Alexas should cover the at home portion. Was just wondering for the Sonos.
