BulkVS

Interact with BulkVS API for bulk calling and SMS

Overview

This node integrates with the BulkVS API to send bulk SMS messages. It allows users to send a single SMS message to multiple phone numbers at once, which is useful for marketing campaigns, notifications, or alerts. Users provide a comma-separated list of phone numbers, the SMS message content, and optionally a sender number. The node processes each phone number individually, sending the SMS and returning the status for each number along with a summary of total and successful messages.
