Custom iMessage SMS from CSV file

Shortcuts
1

Hi everyone,

I’m working on building a Shortcut that uses a CSV file to send personalized messages to everyone listed in the file. The message content will be the same for everyone, but it needs to include variables like the recipient’s name and city.

I’ve successfully created a version that works by selecting contacts manually, but I’m struggling to get it to work with CSV files. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions for how I can set this up?

Thanks in advance!

You haven’t shared your shortcut of what it is exactly you are having trouble with.

E.g.

  • Can you read your CSV?
  • Do you know how to split the file content into lines to loop over?
  • do you know how to split your line into the variables you need?
  • are you having trouble because your data has commas in it?

The more specific you can be the quicker and easier it becomes to help you with what you are looking for help on.
