Thanks Jack but the real credit goes to the developer Brismuth for the Bulk Texter. He's made my life easier with that program. I just added the Excel piece.
Thank you so much for this video. This is very helpful. Do you have other videos explaining the format that you would use when you address both parents and students at the same time? For example, when you send 1 group text to parent and student (so both can have the same info) Thank you so much!
You can still download this from the developer's github account, but does Google still cancel your account although your source of download wasn't from the Google store? I know text automation and bulking are against the Google Voice terms, but I wonder how bulk texting is detected by Google to begin with!
Wish I could take credit for the extension however that’s the great of of this gentleman. brismuth.com/how-to-send-bulk-customized-text-messages-with-google-voice-67b1b5b0ffe7 I merely added the Excel piece.
This is not working. It keeps displaying error message,telling that the number is wrong. I formatted the number both with () and the -. Nothing. Maybe the function has been disabled.
I was reading the developers comments on the Firefox add on and he kind of scared me using this bulk texter because it appears that your account could be suspended. I would use this for my business and unfortunately some customers would hit the spam button. The developer wrote this: Regarding Account suspension / Error: "confirm Sent" failed If the extension was working for you for one or more messages but stopped suddenly, it is likely that Google has flagged your messages as potential spam, which is against Google's terms of service. Continuing to send messages that appear to be spam could result in your account being deactivated.
@@jamessmith1694 I just purchased a ring central account. I like the interface and its affordable compared to other paid texting sevices , but it comes with a voip phone line so it a mim of like 30 a month
I just downloaded this direct from the developer since it's off the Chrome Store now. Whenever I try to send my messages it seems to get stuck and a pop up reads: "Error: startChat failed" Is there a resolution for this? Is this currently working for anyone else?
I went ahead and downloaded Ablebits because the spaces make me nuts. Can you tell me how to take out the spaces using it? I have done every merge function and it's not working. I'm sure I'm just being dense - any help would be greatly appreciated:) Thank you for sharing!
unfortunately Google has apparently put a stop to this extension. A real shame because I only used it to contact students and parents about their child’s progress.
When I type in, "Joseph" the text reads, "Hi Joseph" and my ending says, "Thank you." and the text reads, "Thank you.!" Do you know why it's doing this?
@@timetzel911 Right...I cleared everything out and even created a new sheet and it still keeps putting in, "Hi" before the first name and and an exclamation point after, "Thank you." I decided to just leave the "Hi" there and remove the period at the end so that it's replaced by the exclamation point. Everything is perfect. Thank you so much for this video. This information was exactly what I needed.
There is a limit I’m just not sure what it is exactly. I think it may also depend on how many characters are in the text. I’ve tried sending 80 texts and wasn’t able to. When that happens I send in 50 text increments with no problem.
@@grantlogan6473 Google Voice did an update a few months ago (not sure exactly when but it wasn't very long ago). I only noticed the change because the web interface chanced a bit. It shows a dial pad now on the right side of the screen. Every since then, Google Voice Bulk Texter hasn't worked. When I check my extensions, I get some a message that it's not compatible or something like that. I'm using a Chromebook. Are you still able to use it. If so, how and what device are you using to make it work?

Excellent Presentation -- Clear, Concise, Practical, and Informative. Thank You!
Good video. You could also use the Concatenate function instead of doing the Merge Cells thing
Thank you so much!! I just tired it, it it really works. God bless you thank you for sharing this with everyone!
you're welcome. its been a real time-saver for me. hope it is for you as well
Great vid you could also use the concatenate function in Excel, to trim up the spaces.

Amazing

Question, when you send multiple text is the recipients contact info (numbers) visible to all?
No, the recipient only sees their number. That was one of my concerns at first also.

Download the firefox web browser. Only on Firefox.
Hello Tim @timetzel does your Texter still work. I believe Google got rid of it.
No mine is no longer working.

when i open bulk texter there is no send message button. help?
Hi Tim, great tutorial, I can no longer find the chrome extension. Has it been taken down? Thank you.
Never mind, Tim. It was a browser issue. I was able to find the chrome extension no problem on mozilla firefox.
@joseph let me know if it works for you.

My account got flagged for spamming after 70 texts (done in 3 increments). Support says I have to wait 24 hours for the block to clear.
I tried again after an hour and the block was lifted.
That’s never happened to me. I’m only texting parents and students who are in my contacts. Not sure if that has anything to do with it or not.
I cant find a way to install the bulk texter, is it still available? Thanks !!
share your contact details
The number format is wrong. It never goes through. It keeps repeating "wrong number" even if i put in my own number. Something is amiss here.
Sometimes I run into that problem when I reach my quota. Right now I can only send 50 at a time.
When I type in, "Joseph" the text reads, "Hi Joseph" and my ending says, "Thank you." and the text reads, "Thank you.!" Do you know why it's doing this?
glt010678 make sure there is nothing in the upper box.
glt010678 anything before or after {name} will appear in the text.

Is there any limit on the number of people you can text at one time?
There is a limit I’m just not sure what it is exactly. I think it may also depend on how many characters are in the text. I’ve tried sending 80 texts and wasn’t able to. When that happens I send in 50 text increments with no problem.
Is this possible for India ?
