Send Bulk SMS from Google Sheets with Unicode Disabled (BulkGate)
Introduction
Turn your Google Sheet into a bulk SMS launcher. Each new or updated row sends a promotional text via BulkGate—Unicode off to save costs and speed delivery. ✅
Trigger Event
When a new row is added or an existing row is updated in your selected Google Sheet, the workflow starts.
Actions
- The flow reads key fields from the updated row, such as phone, message, sender type, and sender ID value.
- It sends a Marketing SMS through BulkGate to the listed phone number(s). Unicode is set to “No,” so messages use GSM characters for better reach and lower cost.
- You can preselect the country and sender type (e.g., BulkGate Profile) while the sheet supplies the actual sender ID value and message text.
Benefits
- Send campaigns straight from a sheet—no manual copy-paste
- Lower SMS cost and faster delivery with Unicode disabled
- Works for one or many numbers at once
- Easy to scale and hand off to non-technical teams
- Fewer errors—data lives in one place and sends automatically ➜ quicker launches
