Send SMS with MessageBird

Introduction

Do you need to communicate with your drivers, promoters or suppliers in a repetitive process? Or do you want to send yourself alerts if the data you are tracking changes?

Then you might want to send SMS directly out of a spreadsheet, depending on the rules you set in Rows.

To do this, you need an account with an SMS API provider that supports JSON, for example with MessageBird, which we use in this post. Alternatives are Infobip or Twilio, for which Rows also has integrations.
