Automate Country-Based SMS from Google Sheets and Update Status

Automate Country-Based SMS from Google Sheets and Update Status

Introduction

Turn new leads in Google Sheets into instant, country-specific SMS campaigns and keep your sheet updated with delivery status. ✅

Trigger Event

When a new row is added in your Google Sheet (e.g., a lead list) with status set to "pending" and a country specified.

Actions

  • The automation checks the country in the new row.
  • If the country is India (IN) and status is pending:
    • It sends a marketing SMS via BulkGate to the provided phone number using the India route.
    • It then writes the SMS response status (e.g., accepted/sent) back into the same row’s Status column.
  • If the country is United States (US) and status is pending:
    • It sends a marketing SMS via BulkGate using the US route.
    • It updates the same row’s Status column with the SMS response status.
  • If the country is neither IN nor US, or status isn’t pending, the flow safely does nothing.

Benefits

  • Route messages by country automatically; no manual sorting
  • Save time by sending SMS the moment a row is added
  • Keep a single source of truth as status is stored in the sheet
  • Reduce errors with clear, conditional rules
  • Faster follow-ups and better campaign tracking
