    The Workflow

    How to Send Bulk SMS from Excel in 6 Steps

    No add-ins to install. No macros to maintain. Here's exactly how to send Bulk SMS to multiple numbers from Excel — from a raw spreadsheet to a delivered text.

  • Build your Opt-In list in Excel

    One column for mobile numbers, plus any custom columns you want to personalize with — name, appointment date, balance due, order status.

  • Upload to TXTImpact Contacts

    Drop in your .xlsx or .csv file. TXTImpact reads every column automatically.

  • Map columns to custom fields

    Tell TXTImpact which column is the phone number, which is the first name, which is the due date.

  • Compose with merge tags

    Write your message once and drop in tags like {FirstName} or {DueDate} anywhere it should change per contact.

  • Select your uploaded list

    Choose the Excel-based list as your send audience — reuse it for every future campaign.

  • Hit send

    TXTImpact generates a personalized text for every row and sends the whole batch as bulk SMS.

    • Why Upload & Map

    Manage, Clean, and Track Contacts From a Single Dashboard

    Mapping your spreadsheet into TXTImpact Contacts turns a one-time send into a reusable, trackable system — more than a plain spreadsheet add-in could ever do from inside a single file.

    ✓ Opt-outs & compliance, handled

    Every send is checked automatically against opt-outs and carrier compliance rules.

    ✓ Duplicates merged automatically

    Contacts that appear more than once in your sheet get merged and de-duplicated on upload.

    ✓ A list you can reuse

    Once uploaded, your spreadsheet becomes a saved list you can message again next week — no re-uploading.

    ✓ Delivery tracking built in

    See delivery, click, and reply data tied to every campaign you send.

    ✓ Nothing to install

    It's a browser-based upload, not an Excel add-in — nothing to maintain, nothing that breaks with an update.

    ✓ Filter landline numbers

    Identify and manage non-mobile numbers in your list. SMS and MMS are built for mobile numbers, so flagging landlines and invalid numbers before you send — with built-in carrier lookup — helps you avoid delivery failures and wasted message costs.

    ✓ Outdated list cleanup

    Invalid, inactive, and unengaged contacts are automatically identified and removed from your subscriber list — improving deliverability, strengthening compliance, cutting messaging costs, and keeping every send focused on a responsive audience.
