Send Bulk SMS

The Bulk SMS feature in Robeeta Cloud is designed to streamline mass communication, making it ideal for sending large volumes of messages such as marketing campaigns, announcements, and event notifications. To use this feature, users must ensure they have sufficient balance to send bulk SMS. Additionally, they need to provide the Route Name, Sender ID, and Template ID. In the message box, users should enter the Message registered on the DLT platform.

As with the Send SMS feature, while composing your message, the system provides helpful metrics to guide you, such as the number of characters used, characters remaining, and the number of messages being sent based on character count.

To efficiently send messages to multiple recipients, upload an Excel sheet containing contact names, numbers, and keys (key1, key2, key3, etc.). These keys correspond to message parameters and will replace parameter words in the message for each contact. The system will validate the uploaded Excel sheet, ignoring any invalid entries to ensure accurate delivery. A sample Excel sheet document can be downloaded from the Download Sample Document section for reference.

By following these steps, users can easily manage and execute bulk SMS campaigns, ensuring that their messages reach a wide audience efficiently and effectively.
