How to Send SMS to Multiple Contacts or Groups

Post by mrakestraw777 » 14 May 2013 01:44

I want to set up Automagic to automatically send out an SMS to multiple contacts: all contacts, multiple specified contacts, Google groups, etc.

I'm currently using a Droid Charge.

Thank you for your time.

The action Send SMS only allows to send an SMS to one number. You could build a flow with multiple Send SMS actions or add all numbers to a list and call the Send SMS actions in a loop.
Automagic has no action to load the numbers from a contact group into a list. You could use action Query Content Provider to do this on your own by reading the contacts database, but it's a very complicated to get this working.
It's a bit better for mails since you can directly add multiple receivers in action Mail with Gmail by separating the receivers using a comma, but there's also no way to retrieve the mail addresses from a contact group.
