How can I send text messages (SMS) to a list without coding?

14 points by alexander-g 6y ago

I'm wondering if there is a product like SendGrid or MailChimp that would let me upload a list of contacts and then send them an SMS marketing campaign?

Amazon SNS enables you to send messages or notifications directly to users with SMS text messages to over 200 countries, mobile push on Apple, Android, and other platforms or email (SMTP). https://aws.amazon.com/sns/ https://aws.amazon.com/sns/

You mentioned SendGrid. We are now part of Twilio. Twilio is to voice and sms as SendGrid is to email.

  Yeah I know, we do use Sendgrid at both botmakers.net and tarta.ai now. Sendgrid allows me to create campaigns and send them to an email list, I'm looking to do exactly the same for SMS.

I'd recommend Twilio, it was trivial to build lambda stuff integrating to Twilio with AWS and Azure as well if you have it. I did some stuff with traffic updates etc with no knowledge of cloud platforms. You also just use the Twilio UI on their site.

The Twilio API connected to a Google Spreadsheet and run through Google Apps Scripts works very well for me.

Hey! I’d recommend SimpleTexting and Textedly if you’re not looking for a no-code solution. Amazon SNS and Twilio (as you know) are not. Both folks I listed have campaigns like MailChimp (my former employer). I also run an SMS startup (Parrotmob). Let me know if you need more guidance.

If you're truly looking for no-code, check out: - ClickSendSMS (https://www.clicksend.com) - EZTexting (https://www.eztexting.com) They also have Zapier integrations so you can do more no-code stuff. Also, Zapier itself has a outgoing SMS offering (cannot receive sms messages) in case that's helpful as well.

As much as I hate to promote my ex-boss' products, I'll make an exception here. Yetitext (https://www.yetitext.com https://www.yetitext.com) may be what you're looking for. I knew the coworker who developed the whole service for close to a decade, so it's one of the better services the company offers. The support team is fantastic which is what really makes Yetitex stand out, very few companies invest in support these days.
