Bulk Send SMS with Twilio

Posted on by Jiffrey

I am working on an app to send an alert text to all our users. I am using the Twilio connector in PowerApps. If I hard code in my cell I get that to work just fine. But now I am trying to use a SharePoint list where we will be storing employee cell phone numbers. I was able to get the phone number in the list in the correct format +12223334444

But I am having issues trying to get the text message to more than one number.

The app will have a text box for someone to type their message then a send button below.

This is what I have right now for the code, but I cannot get it to work

Set(VarPhoneAll,Concat(Filter('SMS Directory','Employee Legal Name' = "Jeff"),'Phone Number for Alert' &","));
Twilio.SendMessage("+12224440000",VarPhoneAll,CompanyWideMessage);

Hey Rob, I ended up going that way. I was hopping to keep this in PowerApps but I guess I cannot send Twilio a list of phone numbers to text. I ended up setting up a flow and just had the text messages get generated from there.
