How do you send a message to a group chat

[@danielgjde8512]

Darren, these videos are massively helpful! Thanks for making them!!

[@DarrenAlderman]

My pleasure!

[@smirc3651]

Couldn't figure out how to get it to send until i saw you put a 1 infront of the number. THANK YOU!!!!!!

[@DarrenAlderman]

Hahaha - its troubled us all at one point or another!

[@zerochaos0223]

This is awesome! Worked perfectly for me. I had to figure out the glide part myself though, the part where i create the page and data source. Thanks a lot Darren

[@DarrenAlderman]

Glad it helped!

[@savannahdaniels8112]

How did you figure out how to do page/ data source?

[@savannahdaniels8112]

@@DarrenAlderman How do you set up glide? does this work for bulk numbers?

[@zerochaos0223]

@@savannahdaniels8112 needs a very minor/ small understanding of database. Basically, for each form you have created using the menu on glide, you have to link it to a column on the data source. What's happening is that when you create and open a brand new project on glide, it already creates 1 prefilled data source and a blank page for you. So edit the data source columns as per your requirement, then create the page. This may take a little scratching of the head initially, but if you stick to trying it, you will figure it out in an hour or two

[@zerochaos0223]

@@savannahdaniels8112 yes works for bulk messages across countries. I have set it up successfully

[@Stl1788]

Darren Very well made video. Fast to the point not messing around. Have you done anything with Twilio Flex?

[@DarrenAlderman]

I have not! This video is the most advanced stuff I've done with Twilio.

[@tenkairantarou4436]

thank you sir

[@DarrenAlderman]

Most welcome!

[@calldw]

this tutorial is amazing, you are so clear and concise! 🙂 Question - do you know if there's a way to callback the message status from twilio using zapier? We would like to capture the message status in real time in our primary app that we use to trigger sending the messages, etc. (Quick Base) i have looked everywhere to see if it can be done, and your tutorial on setting up the sms in the first place is the best!

[@DarrenAlderman]

Could you add a zapier action after you send the message to update Quickbase?

[@ikleveland]

Thanks for the vide3o ! is it possible to send and receive text messages in glide ?

[@DarrenAlderman]

I'm sure you could figure out some hacky way of doing it, but it wouldn't be a clean solution.

[@ikleveland]

@@DarrenAlderman Interesting, ok Thanks for the feedback, so you don think that it could be a system that could scale ?

[@DarrenAlderman]

@@ikleveland Based on the single requirement you have mentioned - of which I've had to make my own interpretation, no.

[@bradberry7533]

Awesome video! Quick question. After buying a number from twilio, is there a way to use a different number from the called ID? For example, I have a twilio number but I want the text to show my office number so if they call back or text back it texts/calls my office number. Thanks! Great stuff!

[@DarrenAlderman]

Not that I know of. I think you can only forward text/calls with this setup. I believe there is an option to bring your own phone number to Twilio, but I think that would remove any other integrations you have. One platform I've considered testing out is: www.openphone.com/ (may be helpful for your scenario)

[@EternalKingTV]

Hey, awesome video! Unsure if you have an answer to a current predicament I’m in. Trying to have a list created of current subscribers that auto updates when they unsubscribe (from memberful) to send sms alerts via discord. I got the whole workflow from message to message sent just in a roadblock with the phone list and list update.

[@DarrenAlderman]

I'm not sure I follow what the issue is?

[@jeffcrawford9339]

moving A BIT fast for newbies to follow along- especially when getting to the "glide" part.... but obviously the info itself is great, thanks!

[@DarrenAlderman]

Glad it was helpful!

[@johnglover9431]

Hi Darren I found your videos very informative and helpful. How can I get in touch with you to discuss a small project I am working on which I would like your help with for a monetary consideration. Thanks

[@DarrenAlderman]

Hey John, I'm fully booked for the forseeable future, but there are tons of other Glide experts that can help: www.glideapps.com/experts

[@eBikeDad]

Can you do a video where this is taken to the point where a flow takes questions and responds to a process flow? Like hello, would you like to move forward, input your email to receive a link.

[@DarrenAlderman]

In an app or through the text messages?

[@eBikeDad]

@@DarrenAlderman through text message is what I was thinking.

[@edwinluzunaris3851]

How can I use this to send bulk messages?

[@DarrenAlderman]

Yes! Just separate the numbers with a comma, and make sure they include the country code.

[@savrah]

Can be used in Australia?

[@DarrenAlderman]

I'm haven't done this, but seems like it's doable -> www.google.com/search?q=can+twilio+be+sent+to+australia

How do you send a message to a group chat

[@DarrenAlderman]

Don't think you can send to a group chat, but you can send multiple messages to multiple numbers at once. See last part of video.

[@RO_CAD_BLOX]

@@DarrenAlderman oh ok thanks I will rewatch the last part of video Edit: I saw last part but how I send multiple numbers and is their and other way to send messages to a group chat

Good thing you can rewind and watch again 😎
