## Overview 📋
This automation script leverages Twilio and Google Sheets to streamline the process of generating leads via SMS messages. It retrieves necessary data from Apollo 🚀 and populates a Google Sheets spreadsheet with phone numbers 📞, message bodies ✉️, and delivery status 📈. You can easily configure and run this automation to send SMS messages to your leads, and monitor the delivery status in real-time.
## Getting Started 🚀
Follow these steps to set up and run the Twilio SMS automation:
1. **Clone the Repository**: Clone this repository to your local machine.
```bash
git clone https://github.com/your-username/twilio-sms-automation.git
```
2. **Google Sheets Setup**: Create a Google Sheets document with three columns: `phone` 📞, `message` ✉️, and `status` 📈. This document will be used to store lead information and delivery status.
3. **Twilio Configuration**: Obtain your Twilio Account SID, Auth Token, and Twilio phone number from the [Twilio Console](https://www.twilio.com/console). Replace the placeholders in the code with your Twilio credentials.
4. **Configure Apollo Integration**: Configure Apollo to provide the necessary data for lead generation. Ensure that the data retrieval process is set up and running.
## Usage 🚀
Once you have completed the setup, you can start using the automation:
1. **Fill Data**: Populate the Google Sheets document with phone numbers in the `phone` 📞 column and the corresponding message bodies in the `message` ✉️ column.
2. **Run the Automation**:
- Open Google Sheets.
- Go to `Extensions > Apps Script`.
- Paste the JavaScript code from this repository into the script editor.
- Save the script.
- Click `Run > sendSMS` to start the automation.
3. **Monitor Status**: In the Google Sheets document, the `status` 📈 column will display the delivery status of each SMS. A green status indicates successful delivery ✅, while a red status indicates delivery failure or error ❌.
## Configuration ⚙️
To configure the automation, you need to replace the following placeholders in the code with your own credentials:
- `TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID`: Your Twilio Account SID.
- `TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN`: Your Twilio Auth Token.
- `TWILIO_PHONE_NUMBER`: Your Twilio phone number.
Ensure that you have appropriate permissions and access to the Google Sheets document.
## Status 📊
The `status` 📈 column in the Google Sheets document serves as a real-time indicator of SMS delivery status. It will turn green once an SMS is successfully delivered ✅, and it will be red if there is a delivery failure or error ❌. Be sure to review the status column to monitor the progress of your SMS campaigns.
