How to Send Bulk iMessage Texts from CSV

Sending texts one by one can feel like a never-ending task, especially if you need to reach a large group of people. Whether you’re planning an event, sharing updates, or running a business, delivering the same message to multiple contacts quickly is a game-changer. That’s where bulk iMessage texts come in handy.

How to Send Bulk iMessage Texts from CSV

Sending bulk iMessages from a CSV file simplifies your communication and saves significant time. Best of all, it doesn’t create a group text and sends each text individually. Here’s how you can send bulk texts using StraightText.

1. Download StraightText

Begin by downloading and installing StraightText, a third-party app designed for bulk messaging via iMessage. StraightText is compatible with macOS, ensuring seamless integration with your Apple ecosystem.

Start by clicking here to download StraightText. It should immediately start downloading on your device.

After installation, open the app and grant any necessary permissions, like access to Contacts to get started. StraightText offers a reliable foundation for managing CSV data and sending messages effectively.

2. Create Your Text

After downloading StraightText, it’s time to start creating your first message.

Start by opening the app and selecting the option to create a new message. You can type the text into the message field and it will appear as you type.

To add a personal touch to your text, take advantage of the placeholder feature, which seamlessly integrates information from your CSV file – such as recipient names, important dates, or custom fields. This personalization helps create more engaging and relevant messages for each recipient.

Before sending, we always recommend double checking the message to ensure you don’t have any errors.

3. Choose Which Contacts to Send to (CSV)

Next, load your contact details by importing a CSV file into StraightText.

You can begin by preparing the CSV file with your data, including names and phone numbers, organized into appropriate columns. You can download an approved CSV template to make it easy for you to format your CSV correctly.

Once uploaded, StraightText will then display the number of valid phone numbers found in the CSV so you can ensure you have the correct number of recipients. Be sure to only upload safely stored and properly formatted files to secure personal data and ensure successful transmission.

4. Hit Send

Finally, you’re ready to send your mass text to all numbers in the CSV. When ready, click the “Save and Send..” button to initiate the process.

StraightText will begin delivering the messages to the selected contacts automatically.

5. See Sent Messages in iMessage

Once your messages have sent, you can see them in your Messages app, just like a normal iMessage.

Open the iMessage app to view sent messages after completing the bulk send operation. Sent texts should automatically appear in conversation threads with respective recipients, matching individual iMessage standards. You can double-check by scrolling through the app to ensure successful delivery and identify any undelivered messages.

If you have any issues, you can always reach out to support at support@straighttext.com for more help.
