2. Send SMS on New Form Submission using Pabbly Connect

The first automation we will explore is sending SMS messages upon new form submissions through Elementor.

After setting up the trigger, proceed to configure the action step. Choose Twilio as the action application and select ‘Send SMS Message’ as the action event. Here, you will need to map the recipient’s phone number and the SMS body, which can be customized as needed. Finally, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify the integration.

3. Send SMS Automatically from Google Sheets

Next, we will automate SMS sending from Google Sheets using Pabbly Connect. For the trigger application, select Google Sheets and choose ‘New Updated Spreadsheet Row’ as the trigger event. This setup allows Pabbly Connect to capture customer data as it is entered into the sheet.

• Choose Google Sheets as the trigger application.
• Select ‘New Updated Spreadsheet Row’ as the trigger event.

Once the trigger is set, configure the action step by selecting Twilio again. Specify the SMS body and recipient’s phone number, ensuring that the customer details from Google Sheets are correctly mapped. After entering all necessary information, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to complete the setup.

4. Autosave Incoming SMS to Google Sheets

5. Send Bulk SMS from Google Sheets

The final automation involves sending bulk SMS messages to all customers listed in Google Sheets using Pabbly Connect. Set the trigger application to ‘Schedule by Pabbly’ to run this workflow at a specific time. This will allow you to send messages to multiple recipients at once.

Choose ‘Schedule by Pabbly’ as the trigger application. Set the workflow to run once at a specified time. Select Google Sheets as the action application and choose ‘Get Rows’ as the action event.

After retrieving the customer data, use the ‘Iterator by Pabbly’ action to format the data appropriately. Finally, set Twilio as the action application once again and map the SMS body and recipients before clicking ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to complete the bulk SMS sending process.
