We are trying to assemble a webhooks zap that will take a JSON message from SnapComms and send it to a specific campaign in SimpleTexting. I see a field for a destination number, and I confirmed the Zap works if I specify a single mobile number. However, we have a dedicated campaign setup with thousands of numbers. Anyone have experience doing this? 

Hi @PAC IT 

Good question.

Please post screenshots with how your Zap step is configured in order for us to have more context, thanks.

Sure thing! The webhook is setup as a Catch (did not include the URL for obvious reasons).

 

I have the action set as Send a Message. The issue I see, is that Zapier is only setup to send to an individual mobile number (blacked out below). There is no way to specify a List or Campaign. 

 

 

@PAC IT

Have you tried this Zap action: SimpleTexting - Send a Campaign

 

Otherwise the SimpleTexting API will have to be used to send a Campaign: https://simpletexting.com/api/docs/v2/

App APIs can be used in Zaps with the Webhook app as an action step: https://zapier.com/apps/webhook/help

 

 

Hey, @PAC IT ! Besides switching to the Send a Campaign action, another way you can try using the Send a Message action is by mapping the phone number if you receive it from a previous step. Instead of inserting a static value like you’re doing now (one phone number, never changes), this will insert a dynamic value that changes depending on whatever was received in the previous step.

​Can you please give that a try and let me know how it works out?

Hey @PAC IT! Just checking in here to see if the suggestions from Troy and/or Michelle helped you move forward here. Let us know - we’d love to help get things up and running for you with this workflow!

Hey folks! Stepping in here to summarize some of the given suggestions on how to accomplish this outcome. 

Troy suggested using the “Send a Campaign” action.

And Michelle suggested a way to get this work utilizing the “Send a Message” action:

If neither of these results get you exactly what you’re needing, the next step may be to dig into utilizing the SimpleTexting API to automate your workflow with Webhooks:

Hope that helps to get you pointed in the right direction!
