BCC group message

Posted by dchar, Last update over 5 years ago

Send a message to multiple contacts without creating a group message.

The first script step is used to configure the action. Add member names and phone numbers, or email addresses, to the groupList:

const groupList = {
    "Carol": "7189872886",
    "Marsha": "5176582457",
    ...
}

The second step displays a prompt to select one or more members of the group.

  [x] Carol
  [ ] Marsha
  [ ] Jan
  [x] Cindy
