I’m trying to build a new piston that will send me an SMS when a button is pressed. I’ve looked through the Wiki, the install guide, the forums, etc and it seems like it’s possible to do, but when I look under actions I don’t have any SMS options.
How to enable SMS

If you have a US based number, you can click on
+ add a new task
and then use this as a template:
Note: If you do not see
+ add a new task
in the right section, then first create a container, like:
+ add a new statement- Add an action
- Add a task
- Then use the template above.
This only works with the SmartThings version of webCoRE. Hubitat does not support SMS, so by default webCoRE on that platform does not support SMS.

This is correct. If you use or email provider that does email-> SMS, or use various notification apps is workaround.
this is described in the first couple of notes in the webcore posting in HE forum.
Would assume yes, the webCoRE groovy code shares the same email endpoint for both HE & ST.

Sorry, my comment on SMS and Hubitat was generic on this topic. However, I did migrate almost everything to Hubitat the last 45 days from SmartThings, but still have my Samsung TVs, Arlo cameras, and Logitech remote buttons on ST.
So not to really over complicate things or telegraph a solution to use, I do enjoy SMS messaging on both platforms.
My only remaining piston (sadly) on ST is the following:
Which is used by a Hubitat DH that I use with Hubitat webCoRE and Rule engine:
