Automate Bulk Marketing SMS from Google Sheets via BulkGate (Unicode Off)
Introduction
Turn any spreadsheet into a bulk SMS sender. Add rows in Google Sheets and automatically send promotional texts via BulkGate with Unicode turned off for lower costs and wider carrier support. ✅
Trigger Event
When a new row is added in your chosen Google Sheet, the automation starts. Typical columns include phone, message, sender_id, and country (default is India if not provided).
Actions
- The workflow reads the phone number(s) and your promotional message from the new row.
- It uses your selected BulkGate sender type and sender ID value from the sheet.
- Unicode is set to “No,” sending messages in GSM 7-bit to maximize character count and reduce costs.
- The SMS is sent instantly to all numbers in the row; you can prepare batches by pasting multiple comma-separated numbers.
Benefits
- Save hours: type once in Sheets, send to many in seconds
- Lower SMS costs: Unicode disabled = more characters per SMS
- Fewer errors: one source of truth in Google Sheets
- Faster campaigns: teams can collaborate and ship promos quickly
- Scalable: add rows or paste lists to send in bulk on demand
