RE: How can send Bulk SMS

Hi Mani,

There is no OOB solution to send email, so you need to develop your own or use third-party addon

Refer the following thread:

social.microsoft.com/.../send-bulk-sms

Refer this blog also:

help.clickdimensions.com/bulk-sms-settings

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Create SMS type new activity entity. and register you "send sms' plugin on create message of SMS . for bulk you can create bulk sms record and you plugin will be triggered with every SMs record.

RE: How can send Bulk SMS

Hi,

If you already have workflow and it is working fine for single record, you can make it OnDemand and set number of records and execute your workflow to send bulk sms (surely you need to check if your provider allow you to send bulk sms)

If you have more then 250 records, you can use XrmToolBox to run your workflow for more then 250 records, ( you just need to use FetchXML to get record). Follow below post for this:

RE: How can send Bulk SMS

Hey Mani,

As you already said you have created a plugin.

Retrieve all your records in the plugin.

Talk to your SMS provider that if there is a way to send Bulk SMS in single shot.

If not, Loop through the object will send SMS to all retrieved contacts.

Make sure that your plugin do not take more than 2 mins, If you suspect that it takes more than 2 mins then create the same logic in Custom workflow activity.

If you need to send for all active contacts, use the below Query expression and retrieve

QueryExpression query = new QueryExpression { EntityName = "contact", ColumnSet = new ColumnSet { "mobilephone" }, // Here I tried the code addition #1 below Criteria = { Filters = { new FilterExpression { Conditions = { new ConditionExpression("status", ConditionOperator.Equal, 0) } } } } }; // Here I tried the code addition #2 below EntityCollection result = Service.RetrieveMultiple(query);

Then loop the retrieved contacts and send sms or add them to list and send it to object if your SMS provider supports BULK SMS.

Hope it helps.

Thank you,

Sreeni Pavalla

RE: How can send Bulk SMS

In case of plugin you need to analyse when you want to send it and to whom you want to send (Also keep in mind in case of plugin, if the number of records are more and plugin taking more time to execute, you may face time out issue so it is better to run bulk jobs using workflow). For example you may have one entity call sms alert and send sms when a records is created for this entity, but who will be the target audience then you need to consider, for example you may setup a relationship between this entity and marketing list, so that you have lookup in your alert entity and can send sms to that marketing list members (just and idea)

Thanks

Well, actually there are a lot of different companies. The difference is only in price and packages, as well as countries and the possibility of using numbers. As for me, this is the surest way to attract customers, much more conversion than with emails. In addition, the entire remainder of SMS without any problems can be sold here mobirich support

RE: How can send Bulk SMS

Hey mani,

I truly understand your situation. As you created plugins and are ready to SMS per single person. Your half job is done there. But as you can't run the workflow for bulk SMS, the best approach for your problem is consulting the finest bulk SMS services. Because, although you sorted everything with retrieving records to the plugin. You should be able to send SMS in a single shot and your plugin should make it within a few minutes or else everything just falls into the wrong place again. So, I highly recommend you go with the best bulk SMS service solution such as Gunisms.

Our experience with Guni SMS's SMS gateway services has been positive right from evaluating the service (offered with good technical support and 24/7 consumers service ) to the adoption with a responsive team and quick processes helped us get started quickly. Using their service has been truly reliable so far. Guni SMS is a prominent destination for all your Bulk SMS services at affordable prices ( 3.7 cents for 1 SMS, can you believe it) and money-back guarantees. We never had a chance to look at other SMS gateways nor consulted any technical support team after we met Guni SMS. Trust me.

nowadays, i don't think there is any software that can help you to send quality bulk messages. There must be some limitations. You can search for agencies that are solely working to provide bulk SMS campaigns.
