How to Send Personalized Text Messages to a Large Group using Google Sheets

Sending personalized text messages from Google Sheets is a useful way to communicate with a large group of people in a personal and efficient way. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

1. Install the “Google Sheets API Quickstart” add-on: In Google Sheets, go to the “Add-ons” menu, select “Get Add-ons”, and search for “Google Sheets API Quickstart”. Install the add-on and follow the prompts to set it up.
2. Create a new Google Sheet or open an existing one.
3. Create a list of phone numbers and personalized messages: In the sheet, create a column for phone numbers and a column for personalized messages. Enter the phone numbers and messages that you want to send.
4. Set up the script: In the “Add-ons” menu, select “Google Sheets API Quickstart” and then click “Start”. Follow the prompts to set up the script and authorize it to access your Google Sheets data.
5. Run the script: Once the script is set up, you can use it to send personalized text messages. To do this, select the rows that contain the phone numbers and messages that you want to send, then click the “Send SMS” button in the “Add-ons” menu. The script will send the text messages to the phone numbers listed in the selected rows.

Note: You may need to set up a Google Cloud project and enable the Google Sheets API in order to use the “Google Sheets API Quickstart” add-on. You may also incur charges for sending text messages through the Google Sheets API.
