I’m new to Bubble and have been working on an app for my on-call babysitting company. I’m stuck on how to send bulk text messages to our staff to notify them when a new job is available. I signed up with ClickSend and installed their plugin. I have a list of caregivers and when I select the checkbox next to their name, it sets the custom state (user-list) of the element (admin_dashboard) to admin_dashboard’s user-list: plus item Current row’s User. When a caregiver is deselected, the opposite occurs and the user is deleted from the list. I attached a screenshot of the ClickSend workflow I’m trying to use. This works when only one caregiver is selected. The text message is sent perfectly when only one person is selected. When more than one person is selected, nothing happens. I’ve spent hours trying to figure this out on my own. Please be kind. I’m not a professional. Thank you in advance for your help!
Hi @sitterwise,
You’d need to schedule a backend workflow on a list. So pass the list of selected users into a schedule a backend workflow on a list action to send each individual user your desired SMS message.
Thank you for responding! I’m still doing something wrong. It sends to one person, but doesn’t do anything if I select more than 1 person. Any ideas what I need to correct?
Hi @sitterwise,
You shouldn’t need to pass through a list of users as a parameter if you’re already scheduling a workflow on a list.
You should remove the list of users parameter.
In your backend workflow, you should reference the phone number parameter rather than the list of users each items phone number. Then, you should pass the message parameter in for message
Thank you so much for your help!! That did the trick.
Awesome!
