"content": "## Workflow Overview\n\nThis workflow automates sending personalized SMS messages directly from a Google Sheet. Simply update a row's status to \"To send\" and the workflow will automatically send the text message via Twilio, then update the status to \"Success\" or \"Error\" based on the delivery result. Perfect for event reminders, bulk notifications, or any scenario where you need to send customized messages to multiple recipients.\n\n### First Setup\n\n1. **Copy the Google Sheet Template**: Make a copy of the [template spreadsheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DGhQ2YLeQ5boLYPMK4nUF8SIOJmDDqvtyleSz5IpJEc/edit?usp=sharing) via *File \u2192 Make a copy*. You must use your own copy so the workflow can update the status.\n\n2. **Connect Google Sheets**: Add your Google Sheets credentials to the 'Monitor Google Sheet for SMS Queue' trigger node.\n\n3. **Set up Twilio**: Sign up for a [free Twilio account](https://www.twilio.com/try-twilio) (trial works fine for testing). Get your Account SID, Auth Token, and Twilio phone number from the dashboard, then add these credentials to the 'Send SMS via Twilio' node.\n\n### Configuration\n\nIn the **Config** node, update:\n- `sheet_url`: Your copied Google Sheet URL\n- `from_number`: Your Twilio phone number\n\nThe workflow monitors the 'Status' column every minute. Message templates support `[First Name]` and `[Last Name]` placeholders for personalization."
